Amman, Al Salt, Wadi Rum, Petra

Explore the heart and soul of Jordan with us on this epic 8-day adventure. You'll trace the routes of prophets mentioned in the Quran and travel onwards to where some of the sahaba closest to Prophet SAW are buried. 

You'll then be transported to the breathtaking rose city of Petra, before unwinding in the desert while enjoying bedouin hospitality. You'll end the trip enjoying the warm, tropical waters at Aqaba where you have the opportunity to go snorkelling, before heading back up to the capital Amman to do some shopping.

This trip is ideal for adventurous souls looking to connect with their Islamic heritage, while having the chance to enjoy special experiences including a jeep safari in the sands of Wadi Rum, bedouin stargazing, swimming in the sea and enjoying local delicacies including kunefe and baklawa.

Here's what Sena said about this trip when she joined us in December 2022:

My 3rd trip with HTG to end the year…

"My 3rd trip with HTG to end the year was to Jordan. Like the previous trips this one also was an experience I will never forget. Our guide Abu Omar was an excellent guide and an interesting person to listen to. Ahmed our host at Rum Planet Camp was also an exceptional person and very welcoming. Everyone in Jordan made us feel very welcome and like family. My favourite experience was camping in Wadi Rum and learning about the stars. The 4X4 desert ride was also a very fun experience. I liked that we were given free time on the last day to explore downtown Amman. I was lucky to be a part of a good group, which made the experience that much more better."
