Luxury Jordan Tour

Jordan Tour From Amman

“If you’re planning a trip to the Dead Sea, try to avoid shaving for a couple of days beforehand. The saltwater in even the smallest cut can be incredibly painful. I learned this the hard way!”

“The most unique experience I had in Jordan was staying overnight at a Bedouin camp in Wadi Rum. I will never forget how spectacular the night sky looked out in the desert."

“Pack loose, light, comfortable clothing. Not only for the fact that it’ll help to keep you cool in the heat, but also for the inevitable couple of pounds you’ll gain eating all the incredible food – the hummus, in particular, is to die for.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Jordan safe to visit?
Reluctance to visit Jordon, because of conflict in neighbouring countries, is understandable but Jordan is a peaceful nation, with no threat to tourists. That said, we always recommend checking the latest advice before travelling – the Foreign & Commonwealth Office can be found here.
Do you have to pay to enter the Dead Sea?
Along the northeast shores, you’ll find several hotels offering access to the Dead Sea, along with showers and towels, and sometimes even lunch and pots of the so called ‘magic mud’ to slather yourself with. These places will charge. You can, however, head further south to Herodus Spring, which is where the locals go to bathe for free.
What’s the weather like in Jordan?
Jordan gets incredibly hot in the summer – with temperatures reaching figures of around 40 °C or more – so if that sounds too much for you, avoid June, July and August. Winters are short and cool, with January seeing the coldest temperatures. Generally, spring and autumn are the best times to visit Jordan.
With ancient cities carved into rock, and rugged desert moonscapes, Jordan is a land of wonders waiting to be discovered. Explore towering Roman ruins in Amman, the world’s oldest city, float blissfully in the Dead Sea, and be made to feel instantly welcome with Jordan’s famously warm hospitality wherever you go.
