Jordan Vacation Packages Types
Guided Tours
These are ideal if you prefer a structured itinerary with knowledgeable guides. Guided tours ensure you don’t miss out on important sites and provide in-depth information about the places you visit.
You can pre-arrange guiding to every site in Jordan or have an accompanying guide during your trip. Alternatively, you can hire a local guide at each historical site without prearrangement. However, you cannot always know the experience or reputation of these guides, unlike when you book a reputable guide in advance.
Self-Guided Tours
If you enjoy exploring at your own pace, consider a self-guided tour. This option provides more flexibility and freedom to spend as much time as you want at each location. For self-guided tours, it’s recommended to read a book or do some research about the sites you plan to visit to enhance your understanding and appreciation.
Day Tours
Our day tours are perfect for travelers with limited time who want to see key attractions in Jordan. These tours typically include transportation, guided visits, and sometimes meals. Popular day tours might take you to Petra, the Dead Sea, or a city tour of Amman.
Multi-Day Tours
Our Multi-day tours offer a more immersive experience, covering multiple destinations over several days. These tours often include accommodations, meals, and guided excursions, providing a comprehensive exploration of Jordan.

If you need help planning your itinerary, you can reach out to us and we will draft a bespoke itinerary for you.
