Please refer to our website for the additional cost.
We use good quality 3 star hotels (and a local guesthouse), all twin share with private facilities.
Please do not expect the hotels to be of a western 3 star standard.
In some towns the accommodation is basic, but comfortable, clean, secure and all rooms with en suite bathrooms.
Some hotels are clearly 3-4 star, and some are closer to 2-3 star, however they are chosen for their position, cleanliness and comfort.
In Wadi Rum, we stay in a Standard Tent (Bedouin Style) with ensuite bathroom and fan.
At the time of booking, for an additional supplement and subject to availability (please ask our office for more details), it is possible to upgrade to a Martian Dome Tent with terrace, ensuite bathroom and air-conditioning.
The Martian Dome Tents offer the unique experience of combined luxury and spectacular views.
Imagine gazing at the magnificent stars from your own comfortable bed.
Wadi Rum sits on a plateau that is 900 metres above sea level.
Due to changing weather patterns in recent times the weather in December, January and February (winter months) has become unpredictable.
Accordingly you may experience very cold temperatures at night (down to or below 0 degrees Centigrade), plus rainy and muddy conditions.
We strongly recommend that you bring extra warm clothing and waterproof clothing if travelling in the winter.

Itinerary
-
For such a compact country, Jordan has an overwhelming array of historical sites and geographical features ripe for exploration. From the magical hidden city of Petra where the Queen of Sheba once showered her gifts on King Solomon, to Wadi Rum where Lawrence of Arabia spent time during the Arab Revolt, and from the Dead Sea to the Crusader Castles dotted throughout the country, this journey manages to encompass all of the highlights. Our day walks in Petra take us to the High Place of Sacrifice at sunrise and the Treasury. We visit Madaba and Mt Nebo, from where Moses is said to have seen the 'Promised Land'; and travel the Kings Highway to the prominent crusader castle of Kerak. We visit Jerash, 'the Pompeii of the East', and enjoy cooking a traditional meal with locals at Um Qais. A 4WD journey into the Wadi Rum allows us to spend time among the local Bedouin people and marvel at the changing colours of this dramatic landscape. We return to Amman via the shores of the Red Sea, a fine finale to this all encompassing trip.
