Cloud Traveler
Amman, Petra and Wadi Rum in 5 Days

About this programme

A focused programme covering Jordan's big three: Amman and Jerash, a full day at Petra, a night in a Wadi Rum desert camp, and a Dead Sea float to finish. Built for families and short breaks.

The programme is fully adjustable, add or drop days, or change the cities, as you prefer.

Day by day

Programme guide

  • Suits: Families with walking-age children and up, groups of friends, and seniors with a gentler Petra day (carts are available on site).
  • Pace: Medium pace: two easy days and two active ones; Petra is the longest walking day.
  • Best months: March-May and September-November.
  • Getting around: Between cities by private car with a recommended driver or a rental; roads are good and well signposted.
  • Practical notes: Food is halal by default and mosques are everywhere; Wadi Rum camps offer private family tents; the Petra day needs comfortable shoes and water.
