Day 4 Wādī Mūsá
Get started early this morning and enjoy a guided walking tour of the jaw-dropping ruins of legendary Petra. Take some time to wander through the sandstone city on your own marvelling at the majesty of this special place. In the evening choose to see Petra in the glow of thousands of candles as you witness a Bedouin music performance
Day 5 Wadi Rum/Totes Meer
Travel to Wadi Rum in the morning and then enjoy lunch at our desert camp before setting out on a 4x4 excursion into the desert. Pick the perfect spot to watch the sunset and then return to camp for a typical Bedouin feast. Then admire the beautiful night skies on a desert night walk with a Bedouin guide
Day 6 Wadi Rum/Totes Meer
Spend the morning travelling to the Dead Sea, stopping along the way for lunch at a G Adventures–supported community café. Once at our hotel, take some time to relax beside the pool or soak in the mineral-rich waters of the lake

Day 8 Amman
Abreise zu jeder Zeit möglich
Detailed Itinerary
Day 1 Amman
Die Ankunft in Amman ist jederzeit möglich, und es sind keine Aktivitäten geplant. Nachdem du mehr über den Trip und die Pläne für den folgenden Tag erfahren hast, kannst du optional noch mit dem CEO und der Gruppe in einem örtlichen Restaurant zu Abend essen.
Day 2 Amman
Day 3 Amman/Wādī Mūsá
Day 4 Wādī Mūsá
The site is large so please be prepared for a lot of walking over sand and rocks for the entire day. Pace yourself, stay hydrated and be sure to have proper walking/hiking shoes.
Day 5 Wadi Rum/Totes Meer
Upon finishing breakfast the group will transfer to Wadi Rum to spend the night in a simple, but comfortable desert camp. This camp will provide insight into the traditional Bedouin way of life. The tents have ensuite facilities and are outfitted with sheets, pillows, a raised bed, towels, electricity, and thick blankets to protect against the desert cold. It’s truly a unique experience. November – Februar: Nach Sonnenuntergang kann es in der Wüste sehr kalt werden und auch die Tage können kühl sein. Im Winter solltest du daher jedenfalls komfortable warme Kleidung für tagsüber und besonders für abends einpacken (Jacke, Mütze, Handschuhe und warme Schlafkleidung).
September/Oktober und März/April: Abends kann es immer noch frisch werden – du solltest also auch warme Kleidung dabei haben. Tagsüber ist es meist angenehm warm, aber nimm zur Sicherheit dennoch einen Pulli oder eine Jacke mit.
Mai – August: Tagsüber ist es sehr heiß und auch abends gewöhnlich angenehm warm
Day 6 Wadi Rum/Totes Meer
Mit 423m unter dem Meeresspiegel ist das Ufer des Toten Meeres die niedrigste Erhebung der Erde. Das Meer erhielt seinen Namen, weil sein Salzgehalt so hoch ist (bis zu neunmal so viel wie in den Meeren der Welt), dass nur wenige Mikroorganismen in seinem Gewässer leben können.
Day 7 Totes Meer
Day 8 Amman
Check-out time from the hotel is normally mid-morning, but luggage storage facilities are available. We also encourage you to book a few additional nights if you want more time to explore the city. Speak to your CEO about arranging your transfer to the airport (additional cost)
