Jordan Wadi Rum & Aqaba Adventure 6N 7D

What is a Jordan adventure package?

A Jordan adventure package is a multi-day international itinerary where guided activities, not sightseeing stops, set the pace of each day. On this route that means a Petra walk, a Wadi Rum 4x4 tour with a desert camp night, and a supervised Red Sea dive or snorkel at Aqaba.

Jordan adventure tour package from India: the short answer

This 6-night route covers Amman, Wadi Musa, Wadi Rum and Aqaba, with one full guided day at Petra, one in the Wadi Rum desert and one on the Red Sea. It starts at Rs.76,500 per person on twin sharing, land only, and it suits fit adults. March to May and September to November are the best months.

Most Jordan itineraries treat Wadi Rum as a sunset stop and Aqaba as a transit night. Here both get a full activity block. The desert day goes deeper into the protected area with a local Bedouin guide, and the Aqaba day is built around time in the water instead of a free afternoon.

If you would rather see Jordan at a slower pace, with museums, city time and a Dead Sea stop, the Jordan Amman and Dead Sea family holiday is a better fit. You can also browse all Jordan tour packages to compare routes.

Day-by-day plan

The day-by-day plan is listed in the itinerary section of this page. In short: Day 1 is arrival and briefing in Amman, Day 2 the drive to Wadi Musa, Day 3 the full Petra walk, Day 4 the Wadi Rum jeep tour and camp night, Day 5 the move to Aqaba, Day 6 the dive or snorkel day, and Day 7 the return to Amman for departure.

What is included and what is not

Hotel nights, private transfers, the Petra guide, the Wadi Rum tour and the Aqaba session are covered. Flights, visa, adventure-cover insurance, most lunches and optional extras are not. The full lists are in the inclusions and exclusions sections of this page, and anything we cannot confirm today is marked to be confirmed at booking.

The signature day: Wadi Rum jeep tour and desert camp

The signature activity is Day 4 in Wadi Rum, a protected desert area in southern Jordan. You transfer from Wadi Musa to Wadi Rum village, about 1 hour 45 minutes by road, then ride a 4x4 with a local Bedouin guide through canyons and rock formations, with stops for short walks and a dune climb.

Before the tour starts, the guide briefs you on water, sun cover, staying with the group and what to do if the vehicle stops. Tour length and exact route depend on heat and wind that day, so confirm the format at booking. Summer afternoons can be too hot for long walks, and strong wind can cut visibility on dunes. In either case the guide shortens or reorders the tour. The day ends at a Bedouin camp with dinner and stargazing.

Who this trip is for

This trip suits adults who can walk for several hours on uneven stone and steps, sit in a 4x4 for most of a day, and cope with heat and early starts. You do not need technical experience. A basic comfort in water helps for Aqaba.

Minimum age and health limits are set by the dive operator and site rules, so confirm them at booking. Travellers with knee, heart or breathing problems, pregnancy or recent surgery should get a doctor's clearance first. If you want an easier route, tell us and we can drop the optional Monastery climb at Petra and replace the dive with a guided snorkel or a beach day.

What you will do

• Petra full-day walk: the Siq, the Treasury, the Royal Tombs and the theatre with a licensed guide, at your own pace.
• Petra Monastery climb (optional): a long stair ascent for those with the stamina; effort is high, confirm timing at booking.
• Wadi Rum 4x4 tour: canyons, rock formations and dunes with a Bedouin guide, plus short walks on sand.
• Bedouin camp night: dinner at camp and stargazing away from city light.
• Aqaba dive or snorkel: a supervised Red Sea session with a certified instructor; format to be confirmed at booking.
• Free evenings: kept open on purpose so you recover between early starts.

Difficulty and fitness at a glance

The effort changes by day: Petra is the hardest walking day, Wadi Rum is moderate with sand underfoot, and Aqaba depends on whether you dive or snorkel. Durations below are approximate and should be confirmed at booking.

Altitude, weather and safety

This route has no high-altitude days, so acclimatisation is not an issue, but heat and water are. Summer heat can reach 35-45 C at many sites, and heavy rain can cause flash flooding in Petra's Siq, which can lead authorities to announce closures.

Guides and instructors are certified, and each activity starts with a safety briefing and waiver. If Petra is closed or the weather turns, we swap the day order or shift timings; if a dive is called off for sea conditions, we offer a snorkel or a rest day, subject to operator rules. Drink water constantly, use sun cover and tell your guide early if you feel unwell.

Gear and packing

Bring what protects you from sun, sand and sharp stone; the operator provides the specialist equipment. Pack light, since you change hotels four times.

• Bring: closed shoes with good grip, hat, sunglasses, high-SPF sunscreen, a refillable bottle, electrolyte sachets, swimwear, a quick-dry towel, one warm layer for the camp night, a small daypack and a scarf or buff for dust.
• Provided or arranged: dive or snorkel equipment (to be confirmed at booking), 4x4 transport, camp bedding and drinking water on activity days.
• Leave behind: sandals for Petra and Wadi Rum, and anything you cannot afford to get sandy.

Permits, fees and rules

Petra and Wadi Rum have entry or protected-area charges, and Indian passport holders need to check visa requirements. We do not quote these figures here because they change. Confirm which fees are covered in your quote at booking, and check the official portal for current charges.

Dive operators may ask for a health questionnaire and a signed waiver, and may apply their own age limits. Read the Jordan visa for Indians guide before you buy flights.

Where you will sleep: hotels, desert camp and a Red Sea base

Stays are standard 3-4 star hotels in Amman, Wadi Musa and Aqaba, plus one night in a Bedouin camp in Wadi Rum. Hotel names are confirmed in your final voucher.

Wadi Musa is the town beside Petra and works well for the early entry, and Aqaba is the Red Sea city used for the dive day. The Wadi Rum camp uses twin-share tents with basic facilities, so expect simple bathrooms and cool nights.

Visa, money and flights from India to Jordan

Indian passport holders should confirm the visa type and apply through the official Jordan government route; check the official portal for the current fee and processing time, or see our visa guide above. The local currency is the Jordanian dinar (JOD); we do not quote an exchange rate here, so check a live rate before you carry cash.

Flights from major Indian cities usually connect via a Gulf or other hub into Queen Alia International Airport (AMM), so total journey time depends on the connection. Check current schedules and fares with your airline or ask us for options. Queen Alia is roughly 35-55 minutes from Amman by road, and the best time to visit Jordan from India is March to May or September to November, when April, May and October are peak for crowds and prices.

Jordan trip cost and travel tips

This package starts at Rs.76,500 per person on twin sharing, land only, with flights excluded. The price moves with travel dates, hotel category and optional extras such as additional dives.

Internal transport is a real cost line, because JETT buses serve Amman to Petra and Amman to Aqaba but not Wadi Rum, so private transfers are used for the desert leg. In peak season, reserve transfers and camp beds early, and use a refillable bottle and electrolyte sachets in the desert.
