Jordan 360°: Petra, Wadi Rum and the Dead Sea
The trip in a nutshell
Jordan is one of those bucket list destinations that everyone should visit at least once. That's because Jordan simply has it all: a fascinating culture, priceless treasures, remains of ancient civilisations as well as a beautiful landscape.
Our group travel will start from Amman, the lively capital that will give us a first taste of real Jordan; we will then have fun like children in the gorges at Wadi Mujib and enjoy the beneficial water of the Dead Sea before travelling south along the Road of the Kings, passing by Kerak Castle. Our final destination will be the real treasure of this country: Petra, the lost city, one of the seven wonders of the modern world. Then it's the desert: the immense Wadi Rum will see us spend a night in a tented camp, have dinner with the Bedouins and race on the sand in a 4x4 – it will certainly be an adventure we'll never forget! After a stop by the Red Sea to explore its underwater gems, we'll round things off back in Amman, where we'll get lost in its vibrant souk.

Itinerary
Welcome to Jordan!
Check-in
Round trip flights are not included in the package, so you can choose from where and when you want to fly. This is to give you maximum freedom of choice!
Check-in at our hotel in Amman, then it's time to kick off this trip with a wander round the local souk, where there's always something for everyone!
Included: overnight stay with breakfast at Amman Signature Hotel or similar
Not included: airport transfer, food and drinks
Wadi Mujib and the Dead Sea
The Wadi Mujib River
Who's ready for some adventure? After a short journey we'll find ourselves in one of Jordan's most scenic areas: the Wadi Mujib River!
It is time to hike the Wadi Mujib, a river surrounded by a nature reserve with a majestic canyon. We'll be trekking against the current, clambering over the rocks (so let's be prepared to get wet!) until the grand finale.... a dip in the impressive waterfall! There are several routes of varying difficulty, so the group can decide what works best for them together!
Floating in the Dead Sea
And we're off to float in the Dead Sea to tick it off the bucket list! The Dead Sea water is ten times saltier than the ocean making it much more dense...sinking won't be an option but a rejuvenating natural mud bath could be!
Included: overnight stay with breakfast at Grand Hotel - Madaba or similar, minivan with driver, local guide
Money Pot: admission fees (if any)
Not included: food and drinks
PLEASE NOTE: Wadi Mujib hikes are closed from October to March. For the departures between these months, the Travel Coordinator will organise alternative excursions.
Kerak Castle and Little Petra
Kerak Castle
It's an early start today because we will travel several miles towards Petra!
However, there will be chances to stretch those legs on the way, stopping by one of the many castles that dominate the picturesque scenery.
Kerak Castle is the second largest castle in the region and the most important crusader castle in the Middle East after the Syrian one. Ready to explore its fascinating history?
Little Petra
Siq al-Barid canyon is located a few miles from Petra and here we will admire architecture similar to the one in Petra, but smaller in size, hence the name of Little Petra. The atmosphere will immediately make us step back in time, with sculptures of ancient divinities carved from the stone.
For those in search of the perfect souvenir, now it’s time to wander around the stalls selling handicrafts made by the locals. Tonight we have a wonderful experience: a dinner at the Jordan Heritage, a non-profit association, where we will have the opportunity to immerse ourselves in local history, traditions and culture.
Included: overnight stay with breakfast at Silk Road Petra Hotel or similar, minivan with driver, local guide, dinner
Money Pot: admission fees (if any)
Not included: other food and drinks
One full day exploring Petra
Splendid Petra
And here we are in Petra, a sight that will leave us breathless!
A beautiful narrow gorge leads us to the famous Treasury, a carved stone structure, built to house the tomb of Areta III.
We will then continue our visit by entering the Street of Facades, where more than 40 tombs carved into the rocks can be admired. After that, we're off to the top of the Jebel Madbah and then down to see temples, tombs, a palace and a Byzantine Church, famous for its floor mosaics. The ancient Theatre boasts a capacity of around 3,000, whilst In the old Roman part of the city we'll be able to admire the Great Temple, dedicated to the Nabatean divinities, as well as the Qasr al-Bint ruins, the palace of Pharaoh's daughter and the medieval castle ruins.
Along the path that leads to the Monastery, we will see the biggest monument of the entire site: the Winged Lion Temple.
Selfie time, we're in one of the seven wonders of the modern world!

Wadi Rum Desert
In the middle of the desert
More adventure awaits...Wadi Rum here we come!
Wadi Rum is an amazing desert surrounded by red-coloured rocks and impressive mountains. From the visitor center, we're off on a four-wheel drive vehicle to explore the desert of Lawrence of Arabia.
Among all the unforgettable hidden gems the extraordinary Um Fruth Bridge stands out – it's a suspended rock bridge in the middle of the desert and one of the most photographed spots in the whole of Jordan. After such an intense and exciting day, it's time for a typical Bedouin dinner and a chance to stargaze while sleeping in a Bedouin tent in Wadi Rum. Will we spot any shooting stars?
Included: overnight stay with breakfast at Beyond Wadi Rum Camp or similar, minivan with driver, local guide, 4x4 excursion in Wadi Rum, Bedouin dinner
Not included: extra food and drinks
The Red Sea
Aqaba
The last stop before heading back to Amman is the seaside city of Aqaba for a day of pure relaxation. The Red Sea with its crystal clear water is the ideal place for divers, as you can spot corals as well colourful fish and giant turtles. There'll be plenty of options to keep ourselves entertained: shall we opt for a water sport or a boat tour? Whichever our choice, let's end the day celebrating with a nice cold beer at sunset.
Included: overnight stay with breakfast at Aquaba Baity Boutique Hotel or similar, minivan with driver, local guide
Money Pot: admission fees
Not included: food and drinks
Amman City
The Old City
We'll leave early in the morning to reach Amman, ready to discover the hidden corners of this fascinating city! Old Amman was built on 7 hills like Rome and, in fact, it boasts Roman ruins, like the columns of the Temple of Hercules. From a panoramic viewpoint we'll get a bird's-eye view of the Roman Theatre, the main square with its fountain and the Odeon, an amphitheatre where live music is performed every night!
The other side of Amman
Jabal Amman is a modern district just a few minutes away from the centre. On our way there we will stop at the King Abdullah Mosque, the only mosque in the city that is open to visitors. Shopping in Amman is a must, and we can find goods ranging from international designer clothes to locally produced items like precious stones and metals.
Rainbow Street
This is Amman's most vibrant street! Why not spend the last hours in Jordan hopping from cafés to souvenir shops and have some fun!
As our tour comes to a close, we gather for a memorable finale – a cooking class where we unlock the secrets of the local cuisine.
It has been an incredible adventure, immersing ourselves in a timeless culture and country. Here's to the unforgettable moments we've shared together, cheers!

The travel coordinators
Our travel coordinators are chosen because they are people like you. Not only are they the best travel buddy you could hope for, but they're trained professionals guaranteed to show you a travel experience like never before
Info to know
Staff
Our trips are led by a Travel Coordinator who has been specifically trained by us to lead group travels to ensure you have the best time. A WhatsApp group with all travel participants will be created two weeks prior to departure by your Travel Coordinator.
Luggage
Backpacks are mandatory to allow easy transfers - we recommend a 45L backpack for our trips.
Seasonality
The paths of Wadi Mujib (day 2) are closed from October to March due to the weather. Alternatively, the coordinator will propose alternative activities such as: the visit of Jerash, an ancient Roman city; the visit of Madaba and its imposing mosque; a trek to Mount Nebo. In the Whatsapp group, the actual replacement activity will be defined together with the group.
Local culture
During Ramadan, from February 28th, 2025 to March 29th, 2025, our itinerary may be adjusted due to changes in the opening hours of public places. We'll rely on packed lunches and dine in private areas during the day, as part of our commitment to respecting local traditions and immersing ourselves more deeply in the culture.
FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions
Round-trip flights are not included in any of our trips because we like to give you autonomy and flexibility: you can choose the airline you want to fly with, the departure airport that suits you best, and how many and which stops you want to make.
Since flights are not included, you also have more flexibility with your travel dates: if possible, you can arrive at your destination a few days earlier or return home a bit later – or even continue independently to a nearby destination!
This is the question of all questions, and here’s the answer, broken down into points!
The Money Pot is a common fund collected in local currency from all tour participants and managed by your Travel Coordinator.
It is used to streamline paymentsfor extra activities, goods and services that the whole group decides to do and to guarantee flexibility in choosing activities and excursions at the destination in line with the mood of the group.
It is typically collected on the first day of the trip in local currency, although at times, the Travel Coordinator may ask for it to be paid before departure.
You’ll find the amount of the money pot on the website under the section ‘What’s included in the money pot’ – how do you get there? Look for ‘What’s included’, scroll down to ‘Money pot? Click here’, and you’ll find the details.
The amount varies depending on the destination chosen.
It is used exclusively for group expenses that ALL participants decide to take part in.
It is estimated based on the experiences of other groups but can vary depending on the needs of the group itself. As such, the Travel Coordinator may need to increase the amount during the trip.
If not all of the money pot is used, the difference will be returned to all participants at the end of the trip in equal amounts.
The Money Pot also covers the Travel Coordinator’s share of the activities included in the money pot, except for those activities that are free for the Travel Coordinator.
If you pay in advance part of the money pot before the trip for certain non-refundable optional activities, unfortunately, the amount cannot be refunded in case of trip cancellation.
We offer several payment methods to meet all needs:
1. Credit or debit card from Visa, Mastercard, or American Express.
2. Installment payments for certain countries only
If you choose the deposit and balance option, you can pay the balance from your MyWeRoad Personal Area via bank transfer.
Anyone who books a WeRoad trip has the option to cancel or modify the trip – including both the dates and the destination – free of charge up to 31 days before departure. In case of cancellation, you will receive a 100% refund of the WeRoad trip price. If you make a change, a price adjustment will be applied to the new trip chosen – meaning, if the new trip is cheaper, we will refund the difference; if it’s more expensive, you will need to pay the difference.
If you’ve purchased the Flexible Cancellation Option (which you can add in the first step of the booking process), you can request a cancellation or trip change until 8 days before departure. In case of cancellation, you’ll receive a 100% refund of the WeRoad trip price, minus the cost of the Flexible Cancellation option.
How to request a cancellation or change to your trip? Send us an email at [email protected] or a WhatsApp on +447716573700. Please share the booking reference for the trip you want to cancel or change, and, in case of a change, the new trip you would like to join.
In general, we always choose local accommodations, avoiding large hotel chains, because we love to experience the culture of the place and, whenever possible, contribute to the local economy. Typically, our accommodations are hotels, apartments, guesthouses, and hostels run by local entrepreneurs, with the same standard maintained across all trips in the same destination.
For our Collection trips, which are our premium category, the accommodations are always 4 or 5-star or carefully selected boutique hotels.
The list of accommodations for your trip will be shared with you by your Travel Coordinator between 5 and 3 days before departure, along with other useful details for your adventure!
If you're wondering why WeRoad trips have a money pot, we’re assuming you already know what it is. If not, or if you have any doubts, we invite you to read all the information here!
Let’s quickly recap: The Money Pot is a common fund collected in local currency from all tour participants and managed by your Travel Coordinator. It’s used to speed up payments for extra activities, goods and services that the whole group decides to do and to guarantee flexibility in choosing activities and excursions at the destination in line with the mood of the group.
But let’s get to the point: why the money pot? First of all: it gives us a lot of flexibility. In all WeRoad trips you will have a bunch of Must See/Must Do activities already included - these are experiences, places or activities that simply cannot be missed! Any extra activities is decided by the group, why? Because each group is unique and may have particular wants or desires and the Money Pot allows each group to customise their trip to make it perfect for their requirements!
It also helps us speed up payments – imagine being in the subway in New York City, one by one purchasing the ticket...a nightmare right? Thanks to the Money Pot, the Travel Coordinator can simply purchase the tickets for everyone making the entire processes smoother! Any leftover money will be returned at the end of the trip and split equally amongst all participants.
In some destinations, buying goods or services on site is more economical as you are able to negotiate the price - places like Morocco, or South East Asia, bargaining is part of the culture. As such, our Travel Coordinators will be able to secure the best deal for all participants.

WeRoad is not authorised to provide this information due to privacy reasons.
However, there is a solution - you can connect with your travel buddies by joining our Facebook group. Look for a post related to your trip, or ask the group admins for help in connecting with your future travel companions!
If a Travel Coordinator has already been assigned to the trip you're interested in, you can easily find their introduction post in the group via the website: in the tour list, click on 'Ask the coordinator', or in the trip details page, in the coordinator section, click on 'Ask [coordinator's name] for information on this trip in our Facebook group'. For both cases, see the screenshots below!
Tour List
Trip details page
In all our groups, the Travel Coordinator and participants speak English – knowing how to speak and understand English is therefore a fundamental requirement to participate in our trips.
On average the groups are made up of 6-15 people, with a minimum of 3/4 participants and a maximum of 15.
All our travellers are in theirs 20s, 30s and 40s. If you're very curios to know the age range of the group for a tour you're interested in, you can contact us by WhatsApp at +447716573700
Regarding the male-female ratio, this is not guaranteed and varies trip by trip.
The WeRoad Travel Coordinator is an experienced and skilled traveller and will be the perfect companion for your trip. They will be available for any eventuality and will manage all the logistical aspects of the itinerary (transports, timings, accommodations, meeting points, etc.), so you can enjoy the trip without any worries!
You will have the chance to get to know them when the WhatsApp group is created approximately 2 weeks before departure - this will be the moment to ask any pre-departure questions and get to know the rest of the group! If the trip you are interested in already has a Travel Coordinator assigned, you can contact them before booking – their details will be specified in the schedule or on the trip page, or you can search for their name here. After booking, you will find their contact details in your Personal Area, under ‘Bookings and Trips’ > ‘Your Upcoming Trips’ > ‘Trip Details’.
Yes, in all our trips you will share a room with other same-sex travellers, and the bathroom will either be private or shared only with fellow participants of the trip. The rooms we select can be doubles, triples, quadruples, or multi-bed (up to 8 people in exceptional cases), depending on the destination and availability.
There are never dorms with people outside the WeRoad group, except in certain cases for local experiences, which are specifically mentioned in the itinerary or communicated before booking. These typically involve specific nights in unique accommodations like tents, homestays, or camping, offering a more adventurous travel experience in exchange for some comfort.
During the booking process, you can also choose to opt for a mixed room: in this case, if needed, only those who have agreed to this option may share a room with travellers of a different sex. If you are booking for multiple people together and select this option, the room will not be exclusive to your group but may be shared with other travellers in the group.
When you set off on a WeRoad trip, you’re officially a WeRoader – and as we often say, 'Once a WeRoader, always a WeRoader'. This means that once you’re part of the community, a little piece of WeRoad will always stay with you, even if you no longer travel with us.
But you’re not just a WeRoader during your trips, far from it! The community is alive and active all year round: you can stay in touch by following and interacting on our social media channels, like the Facebook group or the Instagram profile. We can also meet up for a dinner or a trek together at one of the events organised by our coordinators around the world!
