JORDAN PETRA WADİ-RUM
OVERVIEW
A Journey into the Heart of Time: From Amman to Petra, Riding with the Desert Wind
Our unforgettable adventure begins in Amman, the capital of Jordan — a city where layers of history unfold at every corner. From Roman amphitheaters to Umayyad palaces, from Ottoman relics to bustling souks, Amman is a vibrant mosaic of civilizations that invites you to lose track of time as you walk its winding streets.
Then, the call of the south draws us in. Awaiting us is Petra — the legendary city carved into rose-red rock. As one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, Petra whispers ancient secrets through its narrow siqs and grand façades. Every step feels like a journey into myth and memory, where Nabataean craftsmanship still echoes in stone.
And finally, the pinnacle of our journey: Wadi Rum. Known as the “Valley of the Moon,” this surreal desert landscape offers more than just breathtaking views — here, we ride proud Arabian horses across endless red sand under an open sky. It’s a moment of freedom, of harmony with nature, and of timeless beauty.This is not just a tour. It’s a deep journey through history, across landscapes that stir the soul.
