What to expect

A day among some of the best-preserved Roman ruins anywhere.

Many tours continue to the 12th-century Ajloun Castle, built by Saladin’s general, for panoramic views over olive groves and the Jordan Valley. The ground is uneven stone with little shade, so start early in summer and carry water.

You will walk canyon trails with an RSCN ranger-guide, watching for Nubian ibex and griffon vultures, with a picnic lunch in the shade. It is quieter and greener than the big-name sites — bring proper hiking shoes, plenty of water and a sense of adventure.

Light is everything in Jordan. This private tour is planned around the best hours to shoot: early starts in Petra before the crowds, sunset at Umm Qais and the Dead Sea, and a night in Wadi Rum for star trails. Your driver knows the viewpoints and waits while you work, so you never have to rush a shot.

The Jordan Trail runs 650 km from Umm Qais to the Red Sea. This trek walks its best sections, with village homestays, guesthouses and desert camps along the way. A guide walks with you every day and a support vehicle moves your bags and fills the gaps between sections.

The most complete self-drive loop, adding the north and the eastern desert castles to the classic route south. We book the car, hotels and camp and send you the plan with every stop pinned.
