Monday, September 9 - Little Petra - Monastery hike
After a good nights rest and a spirit of achievement we are ready to start our Adventure Extension! 

Our hike begins by the awe-inspiring "Little Petra," setting the stage for an unforgettable adventure. Our expert tourguide will enrich you with knowledge about the area and prepare you for the journey ahead.

From there, we'll venture through the viewpoints of Wadi Mataha and Jabal al-Khubtha, guiding you to Petra's lesser-known back entrances.

After exploring the Monastery, we'll make our way down to the iconic Treasury and emerge through the magnificent Siq. (Breakfast and  lunch  included) 

 

Tuesday, September 10 – Wadi Rum Desert

Vast, echoing, and god-like is how T.E. Lawrence described the Wadi Rum desert, also known as Valley of the Moon, and now it’s our turn to get lost in this stunning desert and sleep under the stars.

After breakfast we leave Petra and drive to the magnificent Wadi Rum desert. It was here the British army officer T. E. Lawrence gathered the Arab tribes to revolt against the Ottoman Turkish rule during World War I, a story that became world-famous in the movie “Lawrence of Arabia.”

From the Wadi Rum Visitors Center, we change from bus to jeep and go on a tour through the desert, past sand dunes and incredible rock formations. After a cup of tea made by Bedouins, the tour ends with dinner and an overnight in a Bedouin Camp with tent. (Breakfast , lunch  and dinner included)

 

Wednesday, September 11 - Wadi Mujib and Amman
Following breakfast, we drive to Wadi Mujib Gorge, which in many ways is similar to the Siq in Petra. The Mujib River runs through the gorge. This unique nature reserve is home to more than 400 species of plants, more than 100 species of birds, and animals such as the Nubian Red Fox, Hyena, Jackral and more. We will see the Wadi Mujib during the two-hour hike, climb several small waterfalls with the help of fixed ropes and ladders, swim at the base of a large waterfall and float peacefully back out of the canyon (optional). Following, we head to Amman for your final evening in Jordan. Tonight, dinner is on your own. (Breakfast and lunch included)​

 

Thursday, September 12 - Farewell Jordan
Enjoy a leisure morning before checking out and departing for your international trip home.  Three scheduled airport transfers will be provided to the Queen Alia International Airport in Amman to arrive at the airport at 5:00 AM, 1:00 PM, and 6:00 PM. It is possible to book a different transfer to Amman if the above scheduled group transfers don't fit your onward journey (extra charge applicable). (Breakfast included)
