Take your family on a trip back in time where Romans roamed and Nabateans built one of the most unusual cities in the world, Petra. Starting in the north with a Gladiator show at Jerash, we head south to Petra, a city still shrowded in mystery and Wadi Rum a stunning desert that looks like Mars. Both have featured in a number of blockbusters including Indian Jones, Star Wars, The Martian and more recently Aladdin. Our private Exodus camp in Wadi Rum is run by a Bedouin family who will make your stay one of the most memorable parts of your holiday. Heading further south to the Red Sea coast and the town of Aqaba its chill out time at a private beach resort. Our adventure ends at the lowest point on earth and with one of the craziest experiences you might ever have - floating in the Dead Sea. Swimming in its saline waters is just about impossible so lie back and relax. The history astounds, the landscapes amaze and the hospitality of the Jordanian people will stay with you long after your holiday is over. Jordan really has all the ingredients for a great family adventure

We spend two nights in a four-star hotel in Amman, two nights in a comfortable hotel in Petra, two nights in a five-star beach resort in Aqaba and the final night in a four-star hotel at the Dead Sea. We also have one night in a desert camp in Wadi Rum. The camp is for the sole use of the Exodus group and offers Bedouin hospitality that ­­your family will never forget.



Throughout the tour we use hotels with air conditioning and wifi. Some have more facilities than others; however, it is always good to keep in mind that the star rating in Jordan is quite different to what you may expect at home. Sometimes we may use less centrally located hotels in the interests of comfort.



Hotels in Petra: Accommodation in Wadi Musa (the town adjacent to Petra) is limited and demands on infrastructure are high; this can create problems with hot water and plumbing. In general, the hotels are of an older style and more basic in comparison to the rest of Jordan. Hotels we use include Petra Plaza, Petra Palace, Edom Hotel, Amra Palace and La Maison among others. All are a similar standard. When not within walking distance of the entrance to Petra, a transfer to/from the entrance is provided (typically a 10-minute drive).



At the Wadi Rum camp, there are traditional-style tents equipped with basic beds, sheets and blankets. There are plumbed toilets and basins, and simple shower facilities with (limited) hot water.



Single supplements are available for this trip; however, this cannot be guaranteed at Wadi Rum. Please enquire at the time of booking for details and up-to-date prices.



While we do our best to ensure families are roomed close together (in some cases, we can arrange adjoining rooms), we can’t guarantee this. Most family trips occur during peak season and we sometimes have little control over where you will be put.
