Private Jordan Tours - Petra, Wadi Rum, the Dead Sea & Beyond

​

Jordan is one of the most compelling destinations in the Middle East, and one of the most underestimated by American travelers. Petra alone is worth the journey. Add Wadi Rum's desert landscape, the Dead Sea, the Roman ruins at Jerash, and the biblical sites of Madaba and Mount Nebo, and you have a destination that delivers more historical and sensory depth per day than almost anywhere in the Mediterranean world.

​

We have been arranging private Jordan itineraries since 1996 - as standalone journeys and as part of combination trips with Greece, Egypt, and Turkey. Every itinerary is built around who is traveling and what they want to bring home with them.

 

Why Jordan Belongs on Your Mediterranean Itinerary

​

Jordan pairs naturally with the Mediterranean in a way that surprises most travelers. From Greece, a short flight connects Athens to Amman. From Egypt, Jordan is a natural extension; the historical thread between the Pyramids and Petra runs directly through the same ancient world. From Turkey, Istanbul to Amman connects two of the region's most layered civilizations in a single journey.

​

For travelers who want something genuinely different, a destination that delivers extraordinary experiences without the crowds of peak-season Greece or Italy - Jordan consistently exceeds expectations.

What We Plan in Jordan

 

Petra - The Rose-Red City

The ancient Nabataean city of Petra is one of the world's truly irreplaceable sites. Carved into rose-red sandstone cliffs over two thousand years ago, it is entered through the Siq: a kilometre-long crack in the rock that opens dramatically onto the Treasury facade. Beyond the Treasury lie hundreds of tombs, temples, a Roman theater, and the Monastery, reached by an 800-step climb that most visitors never make. We arrange private guided visits timed for early morning entry before the day-tour groups arrive — the difference in experience is significant.

​

Wadi Rum — The Valley of the Moon

Wadi Rum's desert landscape is unlike anywhere else in the world — vast sandstone formations, Bedouin camps, and a silence that feels complete. We arrange jeep excursions, camel treks, and overnight stays in authentic Bedouin camps under some of the clearest night skies in the region. The sunrise here is one of the most memorable experiences in any Anemos itinerary.

​

The Dead Sea

The lowest point on earth, 430 meters below sea level, with mineral-rich waters that make floating effortless. The Dead Sea works well as a recovery day between more intensive cultural visits, and the luxury spa resorts on its Jordanian shore are among the best in the region.

​

Jerash — Rome in the Desert

One of the best-preserved Roman cities outside of Italy, Jerash is consistently underestimated by first-time visitors. Colonnaded streets, intact temples, a 3,000-seat amphitheater, the scale and state of preservation rival anything in Rome itself. A half-day visit from Amman is easy to arrange.

​

Madaba & Mount Nebo

Madaba's sixth-century Byzantine mosaic map of the Holy Land is one of the most remarkable surviving artifacts of the ancient world. Mount Nebo, where Moses is said to have looked upon the Promised Land, offers views across the Jordan Valley to the Dead Sea and, on clear days, to Jerusalem. Both sites sit within easy reach of Amman and pair naturally with a Dead Sea day.

 

Aqaba & the Red Sea

Jordan's small Red Sea coastline at Aqaba offers world-class snorkeling and scuba diving, coral reefs, abundant marine life, and visibility that rivals anything in the Mediterranean. For travelers combining Jordan with Egypt, Aqaba is a natural departure point south toward Sinai.
