Jordan Petra & Wadi Rum Honeymoon 6N 7D
Starting from
₹83,500/ person
Jordan best of / flagship packages from India cover the country's headline stops, Petra, Wadi Rum, the Dead Sea, Amman and Jerash, in one route of about 4 to 6 nights. Amman is the arrival point, the northern sites sit close to it, Petra and Wadi Rum lie south along the Desert Highway, and the Dead Sea closes the loop. Keeping that order matters, because backtracking costs a full day.
This style suits first-time visitors who want the main monuments and landscapes without long detours. The best season runs March to May and September to November, when days are mild and rainfall is low. Land-only packages start at Rs.35,000 per person, with international flights and visa costs billed separately.
A best-of Jordan trip covers the stops that define the country's tourism circuit. You get Amman as the base for arrival and departure, a day at Jerash and Ajlun in the north, the rock-cut Nabataean city of Petra at Wadi Musa, a desert night in Wadi Rum, and a float or spa stop at the Dead Sea. Madaba and Mount Nebo often appear as a stop on the drive south.
Some things are left out on purpose. Long coastal stays in Aqaba, deep nature detours to Dana and multiple nights in Amman are better suited to a longer route. Adding them to a 4 to 6 night trip stretches the schedule and dilutes the core circuit. If beach time or hiking matters most, plan a separate, longer itinerary.
The standard order runs north to south. You land in Amman, visit Jerash and Ajlun as a day trip, then drive south via Madaba and Mount Nebo to Petra. After Petra, continue to Wadi Rum for a desert night, then loop north to the Dead Sea before flying out of Amman. Some itineraries reverse this and finish in Aqaba for a Red Sea ending.
Transfers run by private car or small-group van on the Desert Highway and King's Highway. The King's Highway is slower but passes Madaba, Mount Nebo and Kerak, while the Desert Highway is faster and plainer. Time is saved by not returning to Amman between Petra and Wadi Rum, and lost when Aqaba is added to a short trip. Confirm current drive times and road conditions at booking, as they change with season and closures.
Four experiences earn their place on a first trip. Petra is the reason most people come and needs a full day, not a half. Wadi Rum gives a desert contrast no other stop provides. The Dead Sea is a short stop with an experience you cannot get elsewhere on this route. Jerash adds the Roman layer that balances Petra's Nabataean story.
Amman works more as a practical anchor than a highlight, but skipping it usually means awkward flight timings. With only 4 nights, keep Petra, Wadi Rum and the Dead Sea and treat Jerash as optional. With 6 nights, all four fit comfortably with a half-day in Amman.
| Route length | Stops | Pace | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 nights | Amman, Petra, Wadi Rum, Dead Sea | Fast, one night per stop | Short leave, first-timers focused on Petra and the desert |
| 5 nights | Amman, Jerash, Petra, Wadi Rum, Dead Sea | Moderate, one full day at Petra | Most first-time visitors who want the full circuit |
| 6 nights | Amman, Jerash, Madaba, Petra, Wadi Rum, Dead Sea | Comfortable, buffer for weather | Travellers wanting slower mornings and a Madaba stop |
| 7 nights and above | Adds Aqaba and Dana | Relaxed, with coastal and nature time | Repeat visitors combining history with Red Sea time |
Land-only Jordan packages start at Rs.35,000 per person, an indicative figure for shorter routes with standard hotels and shared transfers. It excludes international flights, visa costs and personal spending. Confirm current inclusions at booking, since hotel category, season and group size all move the price.
A longer route adds cost mainly through extra nights, more private transfers and higher-category desert camps. Peak months from April to May and October push hotel rates up. If budget is tight, travel from June to August or December to February, when prices are lower, and accept the heat or rain risk.
A 4-night route suits travellers with limited leave who want Petra and Wadi Rum and do not mind early starts. It also works in peak summer, when long driving days in 35-45°C heat are tiring.
Skip the short route if you want beach time, hiking in Dana or two nights in Petra, since those need 6 nights or more. Avoid the 4-night version in winter too, because heavy rain can close the Siq at Petra and force last-minute changes. For a broader look at what the country offers, see the Jordan tour packages hub.
