Arriving from Egypt
? The Private Tour suggested
Itineraries are shown as all
starting from Amman Airport. There are a number or daily
flights from Cairo and the flight takes about 1 hour. If
arriving in the morning it is easily feasible to go direct to Petra
that same day.
Tours can also start in Aquaba at the border crossing with
Israel. You can reach this crossing from Egypt and the
Tabah crossing Completing the various formalities and
crossing Israel by Taxi is normally a routine trip but it
can take 2-3 hours and you must be prepared to carry your own bags.
Private Touring - Flexibility &
Service
We propose a number of popular Itineraries
which can be adapted or extended as you wish. All can be
conducted at your pace, to your times, stopping and diverting as you
wish.
We also offer a number of Special Interest
Private Tours for you, your family or group:
Archaeological Tours: If you have special interests in a
particular archaeological era, let us know about that.
We will talk to the experts and make sure you have the
opportunity to indulge your appetite for early Islamic
architecture, Roman road-building, Nabatean hydrology or
whatever you find especially fascinating-
Handicrafts:
Participation in a handicraft workshop is
a unique way to acquire new skills, let loose your creative
urges and interact in a very personal way with your mentors.
Touring a selection of handicraft centers can be equally
enriching, whether your interest is in the production itself
or simply in acquiring a unique hand-crafted momento of your
visit to Jordan
 Cuisine:
Your days will be
filled not only with visits to Petra, Wadi Rum and other
local attractions, but also the chance to visit local farms
and orchards and to go shopping in the local markets with
the chef. Who knows? Maybe you’ll pick up a
working knowledge of Arabic language (at least the
all-important food words!) and a little experience at
haggling.
Jerash: Sit
where the Romans sat 2,000 years ago in the Jerash Hippodrome to
watch a marvelous show which the Roman inhabitants might have
watched. This show brings the Roman ruins alive! The
show includes a demonstration of Roman Army tactics and weaponry
(they even call out the orders in Latin), a series of gladiatorial
contests, and finally a thrilling 7-lap chariot race around the
Hippodrome. Lots of great photo ops here—after the performance
you can go down on the track of the Hippodrome to chat with the
performers, try on a Roman helmet or shield (very heavy!) or
even take a spin in a chariot.
 Petra
By Night A romantic way to see Petra, Petra by Night is
not your typical sound-and-light show. No colored laser beams,
no booming amplified music or recorded actor narratives—just a
remarkable chance to experience Petra as the ancient spice caravan
travelers must have seen it.
Perseids Meteor Shower : This
annual sky-show is one of the best meteor showers around, and runs
about a month. The peak nights are August 12-13, when you
should be able to see around 50-80 meteors each hour. The
Perseids are one of the fastest-moving meteor showers, which makes
for a brilliant and exciting display. Wadi Rum, with its
complete absence of competing lights, noises and pollution, is one
of the best earth-bound vantage points for watching the show.
Join Petra Moon for our annual pilgrimage to Wadi Rum to watch this
thrilling phenomenon.
