You enter Jordan through the low, bright air of Amman and the country opens like a well-used map. On the first morning the bus hums onto the King’s Highway and the city recedes into terraces of ochre houses and limestone cliffs. By day three Madaba’s mosaics catch the light, Mt. Nebo offers a Biblical vista, and Kerak’s Crusader keep watches over a valley road worn by history.

You enter Jordan through the low, bright air of Amman and the country opens like a well-used map. On the first morning the bus hums onto the King’s Highway and the city recedes into terraces of ochre houses and limestone cliffs. By day three Madaba’s mosaics catch the light, Mt. Nebo offers a Biblical vista, and Kerak’s Crusader keep watches over a valley road worn by history.
The heart of the trip is Petra — the city carved from rose-colored sandstone. Walking the Siq, the fissure in the rock that funnels you toward Al Khazneh, the canyon compresses the world until the Treasury appears, a practiced reveal of stone and shadow. Petra is both architecture and geology: Nabataean masonry shaped into facades, then wind and time polishing the same surfaces into layered bands of red, orange and cream.
From Petra the program slips from archaeology to desert. Little Petra offers quieter rock-cut houses and a sense of scale before Wadi Rum’s open spaces. Here, the granite and sandstone mesas rise like islands in a burnt-sienna sea; for an hour and a half a local 4x4 rumbles across sand flats and through narrow canyons, stopping at natural bridges and cavern mouths where T. E. Lawrence once moved and modern Bedouin life continues. The final contrast is the Dead Sea — the lowest point on earth — where buoyant saline waters and mineral mud provide a strange, restorative finale.
This seven-day, French-speaking circuit blends guided walks and cultural stops with comfortable transport and selected meals. Expect hotel nights in Amman and Petra, a night under Bedouin-style tents in Wadi Rum, and included entry fees to the main sites. Guides are local and francophone, with a rhythm that balances storytelling and practical pacing.
Practicalities: bring sturdy walking shoes for Petra’s uneven carved steps and the Wadi Rum pickups; sun protection and a lightweight layer for early mornings and the cooler desert evenings; and a reusable water bottle to reduce plastic use — bottled water is provided on the bus. Purchase the Jordan Pass before arrival to combine visa and major-site entry fees and save time at ticket booths.
Timing matters: arrive in Amman before noon if you’ve arranged airport pickup to avoid an extra hotel night. Plan to move at a moderate pace: some days include several hours of walking and many short transfers by road. Respect Bedouin camp customs, carry cash for small purchases and tips, and leave no trace in sensitive sites. Done well, the trip pairs monumental antiquity with wide desert horizons — a concise, layered portrait of southern Jordan that’s as geological as it is human.
Many nationalities require a visa; purchasing the Jordan Pass before arrival covers visa and site-entry fees for most visitors and speeds processing.
Infants must sit on laps; the itinerary is better suited to older children used to walking and transfers; ask about child pricing and accommodations.
This departure is francophone — all main guiding and briefings are in French.
Breakfast is included daily plus five lunches and five dinners as listed; some meals at remote sites may be simple and camp-style.
Yes — pickup is provided but arrivals must be before noon if selecting the airport pickup option to avoid an extra hotel night.
Tipping is customary for guides, drivers and camp staff; prepare small notes in Jordanian dinar — roughly $3–7 per person per day for guides/drivers as a guideline.
