Discovering Petra: Day 1
As the sun kisses the horizon, we depart from bustling Amman and head south towards the legendary city of Petra. En route, anticipation builds, knowing that we’re on the brink of stepping into a world frozen in time. Petra, carved into the rose-red cliffs by the Nabateans over 2,000 years ago, beckons with its enigmatic allure.
Exploring the Siq and Al-Khazneh
Our journey through Petra begins with a stroll down the narrow Siq, a winding canyon that gradually unveils the splendour of Al-Khazneh, also known as the Treasury. As we emerge from the Siq, the sight of this ancient masterpiece leaves us in awe, pondering the mysteries concealed within its intricate facades.
Monastery and Altar of Sacrifice
We continue our expedition, tracing the footsteps of ancient traders and pilgrims to discover the monumental Monastery and the solemn Altar of Sacrifice. Each step echoes with whispers of bygone eras, offering glimpses into the rich tapestry of Petra’s history and significance.
As twilight descends, we bid farewell to Petra and journey onwards to Wadi Rum, a vast desert landscape immortalized by the epic tales of Lawrence of Arabia. Here, amidst the timeless sands and rugged mountains, we find solace in a traditional Bedouin camp. Under a blanket of stars, we indulge in hearty Bedouin cuisine, share stories around the campfire, and immerse ourselves in the essence of desert hospitality.
Wonders of Wadi Rum: Day 2
As dawn breaks over the desert horizon, we embark on a new chapter of our adventure, venturing deeper into the mesmerizing realm of Wadi Rum.

Our journey through Wadi Rum unfolds aboard a rugged 4WD jeep, navigating through a landscape of towering cliffs, surreal rock formations, and ancient petroglyphs. With every twist and turn, Wadi Rum reveals its timeless beauty, inviting us to explore its hidden treasures and embrace the spirit of adventure.
From the desert sands of Wadi Rum, we make our way to the surreal shores of the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth. Here, amidst the tranquil waters and mineral-rich mud, we surrender to a truly unique swimming experience. Floating effortlessly on the surface, we feel the soothing embrace of the Dead Sea’s therapeutic waters, rejuvenating both body and soul.
