Itinerary
Day 1: Amman/ Petra/ Wadi Rum (3H drive to Petra, then 2H drive to Wadi Rum)
Stop At: Petra - Wadi Musa 77110 Jordan
Morning departure from Amman south towards Petra in a modern, air conditioned vehicle driven by one of our professional English speaking drivers. Arriving 3 hours later to explore Jordan's best known attraction and the UNESCO World Heritage site. Petra, the Rose-Red City, was the impressive capital of the Nabataean kingdom, whose ruins remained hidden to most of the world until the Swiss explorer, JL Burckhardt, disguised as an Arab scholar, infiltrated the city in 1812. It is a one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Walk down the Siq, a long, winding sandstone canyon that leads to the impressive Treasury. Explore the city, including the Street of Facades, the Roman Theater and the Royal Tombs. Depart Petra towards Wadi Rum.
Duration: 5 hours
Stop At: Wadi Rum Protected Area, Wadi Rum Jordan
Wadi Rum has recently been inscribed by UNESCO as a new World Heritage Site displaying unique natural beauty and cultural significance. Inhabited since prehistoric times, it owes its current fame to Lawrence of Arabia, who spent time there during the Arab Revolt of 1916 against the Ottomans. It is Jordan's largest desert and one of the most impressive desert landscapes in the world. From the terrain, flora, and fauna, the sites, and the culture of the local Bedouins, there is much to be seen and experienced in Rum, whether it be on a jeep tour, camel trek, hiking or even on a hot-air balloon ride. Arrive to your camp in the middle of the desert. Dinner and overnight.

Solo girl from Portugal contacted jordan select tours to visit this amazing country. Couldn’t be more happy with this company. Wesam, my driver showed me amazing places, was very nice and always on time.

I am a Jordanian and I’ve used Select twice to give a great experience to family members who have not been to Jordan. Select is reasonably priced and know exactly how to run a safe, fun, and world class tour experience. They are the best.

We booked through select tours or six day trip to Jordan . Their service from planning to execution was flawless. We were received by their staff at the airport and they got us through the visa in no time. We went on road trip visiting all the famous sites in Amman , Jerash, Madaba , Petra , Akaba, Dana , Dead Sea and immersing ourself in culture ,landscape food and everything yuu can ask for going to another country . If someone has not thought of Jordan as a tourist destination they should and if you are thinking of coming to Jordan you do not need to look any further than Select Tours as company . Nairooz our tour consultant was excellent in communicating and suggesting the route and stay. Amer our guide who is a retired archaeologist is extremely knowledgeable and very patient and answering every small little question we would ask. Feras our driver was excellent . They made our trip memorable for FaceTime!
