Jordan, 9 Days · Tailor-made by car
Route around the Hashemite Kingdom and Wadi Rum
Jordan, a kingdom of ancient history and breathtaking landscapes
From its capital Amman to the beaches of Aqaba on the Red Sea, Jordan is a pocket-sized country with landscapes and landmarks that are a gift for any visitor. It's a country of contrasts where adventure fuses with history, from the fertile Jordan Valley to the red desert sands. Jordan is mysterious and mythical, a land where Romans, Greeks and Ottomans have left their footprint, and which biblical patriarchs such as Moses passed through on their exodus to the Promised Land. Jordan is also a living movie set where many Hollywood blockbusters have been filmed. It's the ideal backdrop for films that transport you off to Mars and has also been used for Lawrence of Arabia, Aladdin and the Indiana Jones saga. Marvel at its Crusader castles and bathe in the Dead Sea, perhaps the most extraordinary body of water on the planet due to its level of salt and the healing powers of its mud. Venture through steep canyons until you reach the ancient Nabataean city of Petra, where time seems to have come to a standstill. Thrill at the unparalleled experience of canyoning through the gorge of Wadi Mujib. Cross the desert of Wadi Rum, admire the beauty of its sunsets and starry nights, and find out why Lawrence of Arabia fell in love with this land.

Important remarks
- Jordan is a Muslim country and the month of Ramadan is of major significance to its residents. During Ramadan, entertainment and alcohol will be restricted in most of the country. The sale of alcohol will be restricted in many places, although some establishments will offer alcohol for sale to tourists. During this period, local businesses may also have shorter opening hours.
- Driving in Jordan: 1 Vehicles drive on the right-hand side of the road and signs are in both Arabic and English. 2 It's usually pretty safe. Main roads in Jordan are in good condition and traffic flows well. Traffic in the capital, Amman, especially at peak times, can be quite heavy and chaotic. 3 There are no tolls on the motorways and, due to the size of the country, distances are short. 4 Petrol is cheaper than in Europe and there are no difficulties finding petrol stations across Jordan. 5 To rent a vehicle, an international driving licence is mandatory, the minimum age is twenty-one (this may vary depending on the category of the vehicle) and you must have at least one year on your licence. 6 Speed limits are 50-70 km/h in the city and 90-110 km/h on dual carriageways and motorways. 7 There are numerous speed cameras and police checks on the roads, so always respect the speed limits and carry your passport with you.
- Check-in time at the hotel on the day of arrival depends on each establishment, but in no case will it be before 3:00 p.m., unless otherwise indicated.
- The camps in Wadi Rum are basic and simple accommodations.
- The proposed excursions and tours for each day are purely suggestions, as you can tailor the trip to suit your times, tastes and needs.
- A credit card is considered a guarantee, so sometimes you will need one for check-in at hotels.
- Hotels usually have cots available. Otherwise, babies will have to share a bed with an adult.
- To pick up your rental car, you'll need a credit (not debit) card in the name of the person who made the booking, who must also be the named driver of the vehicle.
- Consult the necessary documentation to enter the destinations visited and for transit in the countries where air stopovers are made.
- We recommend always carrying your visa on you, as you might come across police checks on the road, especially in areas close to Israel.
- Check out the benefits and conditions of the Jordan Pass, a discount programme that will save you money during your visit to the country. With this pass you can visit forty tourist sites across the country. If you buy it online before you arrive, the Jordan Pass waives visa fees of JD 40 (€48).
