Desert Wanders and Ancient Treasures On a Jordan Holiday

Our Jordan holiday packages take you to bustling markets, ancient monuments and gorgeous landscapes, all at the intersection of history and modern life. Let’s go on an extraordinary desert adventure.

Why visit Jordan?

It’s no surprise that the sandstone city of Petra is a highlight of most Jordan holiday packages. Once the capital of the ancient Nabataean Empire, it’s an archaeological marvel nestled within the country’s southwest desert canyons. Stroll through the narrow Siq gorge to the Treasury (Al-Khazneh); Petra’s iconic temple that’s been painstakingly carved into the rose-hued mountain wall. You can also explore the city’s remarkable royal tombs or follow meandering trails up to lofty lookout points offering sweeping vistas of the entire region.

Amman, Jordan’s modern-day capital, also has plenty of allures. The Bronze Age Citadel is an unmissable sight above the city and the ideal place to admire views of its souqs and skyscrapers. A trip to Amman also gives you the chance to tour several outstanding heritage sites, from the Roman Temple of Hercules to the breathtaking blue-domed King Abdullah Mosque. Discover all about the country’s diverse cultural influences at the Jordan Museum before savouring local Levantine specialities at a rooftop restaurant along Rainbow Street.

Jordan’s desert landscapes are truly otherworldly and there are few better places to experience them than Wadi Rum. Also known as The Valley of the Moon, it’s awash with deep canyons, rippling dunes and rugged rock bridges. Our local guides can take you on a journey across the sand where you’ll stay at a luxury desert camp surrounded by pristine wilderness and clear skies.

You could also choose to unwind in Aqaba — Jordan’s coastal gem on the Red Sea. Snorkel through kaleidoscopic coral reefs or venture into the city itself to uncover landmarks like the ornate 16th-century Mamluk Castle. Floating on the Dead Sea’s salt-rich waters is a must-do on any Jordan holiday. Sitting 1,400 feet below sea level, it’s the lowest point on Earth and dotted with resorts where you can pamper yourself with rejuvenating mud baths and other local mineral treatments. Are you a history lover? Make the pilgrimage to nearby Al-Maghtas along the Jordan River; the supposed site of Jesus’s baptism by John the Baptist.

Whether you want city explorations or wild and wonderful outdoor encounters, our travel experts will help put together the perfect holiday package to Jordan that’s exclusively tailored to your needs.

Things to know before you travel to Jordan

  • It takes just over five hours to fly direct from London Luton or London Heathrow to Amman, Jordan’s capital. From there, it’s a three-hour car journey to Petra.
  • The local currency is the Jordanian dinar. While you’ll find most hotels and resorts accept credit or debit cards, cash is handy to have for tipping and shopping.
  • Generally, to enter Jordan from the UK, you’ll need to purchase a visa on arrival. This costs 40 Jordanian dinars (approximately £45) and you’ll need a passport that’s valid for at least six months. Guests who travel with us have their visa taken care of for them upon arrival.
  • Jordan enjoys a hot climate between May and September, with temperatures often soaring to 38℃ in July. November to February are the coolest and wettest months, while spring and autumn offer pleasant and mostly dry conditions.
  • Jordan’s main religion is Islam, so it’s recommended to dress respectfully and conservatively. This is especially important if you’re visiting a place of worship such as the King Abdullah Mosque.
  • The country’s official language is Arabic, although English is commonly spoken in Jordan’s larger cities and attractions.
