Jordan Amman & Dead Sea Family Holiday 7N 8D
Starting from
₹86,000/ person
Jordan family packages are international holiday itineraries built for parents, children and grandparents travelling together, covering Amman, Petra, Wadi Rum and the Dead Sea at a comfortable pace with private transfers and family-friendly rooms. Jordan family packages from India suit mixed-age groups who want short drives, shared activities and regular rest stops. Plan 4 to 6 nights, travel between March and May or September and November for mild weather, and expect land-only arrangements from Rs.35,000 per person.
Jordan suits families because the main sights sit fairly close together and most days do not demand long hours in a vehicle. Amman, Jerash and Ajlun pair neatly in the north, while Petra, Wadi Rum and the Dead Sea form a southern loop that most families cover in four to six nights. Children get rock-cut tombs, desert jeep rides and a float in salt water, while grandparents get flatter walking in Amman and shaded spots along Petra's main trail.
Food is another reason this route works for Indian families. Jordanian restaurants serve rice, bread, grilled meats, hummus and lentil dishes, and most hotels will prepare plain vegetarian meals on request. One honest limit: Petra involves walking on uneven stone, and the Siq can close when heavy rain is forecast, so a family plan needs a flexible day there. Compare the full range of Jordan tour packages before you fix dates.
A realistic family day starts around 8am, covers one main site before lunch, and leaves the afternoon free for a swim or a nap. The longest transfer on the standard route is the drive between Amman and Aqaba or between Petra and the Dead Sea, which runs several hours. Break it with a snack stop and a short walk. Build in one slow day after Petra, because children and elders tire faster on stone steps than on flat ground.
Evenings should stay light. Dinner at the hotel by 7.30pm, an early night and a later start the next morning work better than packing two sites into one day. If your group includes a toddler or a wheelchair user, tell us at the enquiry stage so transfers and room types can be matched.
Ask for a child seat or booster at the time of booking, since not every vehicle carries one as standard. Rooms are usually confirmed as twin or double with an extra bed. Connecting rooms and ground-floor rooms are worth requesting early, especially at Dead Sea and Wadi Rum stays. Strollers manage in Amman hotel lobbies but not on Petra's trails, so a carrier is more practical there.
Carry water, biscuits and any regular medicines for the drives. Pharmacies are easy to find in Amman and Aqaba, and larger hotels can usually arrange a doctor. For anything serious, Amman has the main hospitals. Keep copies of prescriptions and insurance details with you. Our Jordan holiday planners can note medical needs on your file.
| Duration | Route in words | Daily pace | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 nights | Amman, Jerash, Dead Sea, Petra | One main site a day | Families with school-age children |
| 5 nights | Amman, Jerash and Ajlun, Dead Sea, Petra, Wadi Rum | One site plus one short transfer | First-time visitors with teenagers |
| 6 nights | Amman, Madaba and Mount Nebo, Dead Sea, Petra, Wadi Rum, Aqaba | Alternating active and rest days | Three generations travelling together |
Shorter routes skip Aqaba, while longer ones add a second night at Petra or the Dead Sea. Check current schedules and hotel availability before locking a route, as summer heat can push sightseeing into early mornings.
Land-only arrangements for this theme start at Rs.35,000 per person. This is an indicative figure that depends on season, hotel category and room sharing. Peak months of April, May and October cost more than June to August, when temperatures rise but rates usually drop. Child pricing depends on age and whether the child shares a bed with parents, so it is confirmed at booking rather than quoted here.
Flights, Jordan Pass entry fees and personal expenses sit outside the land package. Ask for a written inclusion list so you know what is covered before you pay. For broader cost context, see the Jordan trip cost options on the hub.
Spring and autumn offer the easiest conditions for children and elders, with mild days and low rainfall. March to May and September to November are the busiest and priciest windows, so book rooms early. Summer is hot and dry, often above 30°C and reaching 35-45°C at open sites, which means early starts and long midday breaks. Winter is cool and wet, with the heaviest rain in the northern and central highlands.
If you travel between December and February, keep a wet-weather backup day for Petra and check official advisories before the Siq visit. These Jordan travel tips apply to every family route we plan.
