Jordan doesn’t hand its history to you in a museum case — you eat lunch in a woman-run cooperative that’s kept its recipes for generations, you add the fringe to a headscarf (shmagh) by hand in As-Salt, you watch the Milky Way from the same silence Bedouin guides have read for centuries. The Jordan Heritage Trail is built around that principle: full-board, fully guided, every experience and transfer included, so the only decision left is how deep you want to go.
Will be disclosed prior to arrival.
The ancient city of Petra is one of Jordan’s national treasures and by far its best known tourist attraction. Petra is the legacy of the Nabataeans, an industrious Arab people who settled in southern Jordan more than 2,000 years ago. Admired then for its refined culture, massive architecture and ingenious complex of dams and water channels, Petra is a UNESCO World Heritages Site and one of the new Seven Wonders of the World. Inhabited by the Nabateans, Edomites and Romans, Petra brought together the knowledge and skill of these civilizations to create this world wonder. Caravans laden with incense, silks, spices and other exotic goods would rest at Petra. This site is one of Jordan’s UNESCO world heritage sites. Tour Guide will be present this day.
Step into the heart of Petra after dark and discover a breathtaking transformation of one of the world’s greatest wonders. Petra by Night invites you on an unforgettable journey through the candlelit Siq to the majestic Treasury, where ancient history comes alive through a spectacular fusion of light, sound, and storytelling. Follow a glowing path of 2,000 candles through the Siq canyon, their flickering light revealing ancient carvings as you approach the Treasury in magical silence.
A JEEP Desert Safari through the breathtaking desert with many sights to see.
Discover how the Ancient Nabataeans used Wadi Rum's fine silica sand for heat therapy — exfoliating the skin and easing aching joints by burying themselves in the sun-warmed sand, a tradition recorded over 2000 years ago. A yearly practice of the Nabataean ruling class, it leaves you feeling rejuvenated and in awe during the sunset in the desert.
Experience the famous and highly sought after Bortle-2 class sky, with not a source of light within hundreds of kilometres. Once your eyes adjust to the dark you can experience the stars like never before. Bedouin tea will be served over a small bonfire.
Qasr Al-Kharanah, or it might be found as Qasr al-Harrana, Qasr Kharanah, or just Kharaneh/Hraneh, Located in the middle of a vast, treeless plain, this imposing thick-walled structure was the most likely inspiration for the ‘desert castle’ moniker and is arguably the most photogenic of all the desert castles.
