Jordan 2 - 7 Day 4X4 Jeep Tour Focused in Southern Jordan, Petra, The Edom Mountains and the Canyons of the Dead Sea area. Difficulty level - from easy to difficult, according to request (Hotel accommodation upon request) Explore the beautiful and vast Wadi Rum, with its red sand dunes and natural pillars of sandstone rock, sculptured by millions of years of gentle erosion. This enchanting and mystical region was the favorite place of Lawrence of Arabia and it was here that Lawrence was inspired to write his book, The Seven Pillars of Wisdom. We tour this magnificent region for two days and spend two Arabian Nights in the soft sands under the starry desert skies. Journeying on from Wadi Rum we arrive in Petra. This legendary city was carved thousands of years ago from the red Sandstone Mountains by the ancient Nabateans. Having walked through the magnificent canyon that leads there, the beauty of this wondrous city is suddenly revealed to you. Having explored this historical phenomenon we return to our jeep and begin our journey on the steep mountain 4X4 routes that wind their way down the Edom Mountains. These dramatic scenic routes, such as Wadi Dalara and Wadi Namla take us all the way down to the Arava Valley that runs the whole length these beautiful mountains. Driving to the north of the Arava Valley we reach the Moav Mountains of the Dead Sea area and their famous canyons such as Wadi Arnon, which is almost sub-tropic. Iben Hamad and Wadi Hadira are the most impressive of all of these canyons, hidden in the heart of the Jordanian desert, these narrow and deep canyons flow year-round with warm spring water and natural rock pools are scattered throughout their length. We spend several hours each day walking through each of these canyons. During these walks you're probably going to get very wet and at times may have to swim a little. Having reached the enormous red sand dunes of the Northern Arava Valley, an exciting drive through these dunes takes us on to the breathtaking canyons of Wadi Ahmer and Wadi Nachla. Walking through the narrower canyons ones and driving into others, you will see canyons of imposing red granite rock and soft colorful sandstone, side by side, in this region of delightful contrast.
Price: up to 3 pax.- 350$ per day in total. 4 pax or more- 95$ per person per day. The price doesn't incl. Hotel accommodation.

Jordan 3 - 7 Day Camel Tour Focussed in the area of Wadi Rum Difficulty level - from easy to difficult, according to request. Exploring the whole region of the legendary Wadi Rum upon the most ancient and by far the most enchanting mode of desert transport, the camel. With its leisurely pace and gentle swing this great creature carries its rider and load over sand and mountain, through canyons and wadis, whilst barely seeming to notice their presence. Despite ungrounded stigmas to the contrary, the camel is in fact a quiet placid animal (although occasionally stubborn) whose harmonious relationship with its handler often lasts for a lifetime. In this region particularly, camels have for thousands of years been living with the Nomadic Bedouin and are entirely domesticated. Escorted by its Bedouin handler (who will show you how to ride your camel properly and comfortably), your camel will carry you on the desert voyage of a lifetime, through this mystical and magnificent land. Where, since ancient times, its rare visitors have witnessed in awe, its timeless and splendid wonder. During this voyage you will meet with local Nomadic Bedouin and witness their unique way of life. You will walk through desert valleys and canyons, rarely explored since the dawning of time and visit the stunning Nebatean City of Petra. Our evenings and nights are spent around a campfire under the astonishingly clear skies laden with millions of brilliant stars which, since legends began, make the desert nights the most magical of all.
Price: up to 3 pax.- 390$ per day in total. 4 pax or more- 110$ per person per day. The price doesn't incl. Hotel accommodation.

Jordan 4 - 7 Day Hiking Tour Focussed in the Canyons of the Dead Sea, Moav & Edom Mountains. Difficulty level - from mildly difficult, to difficult for experienced hikers only. For people who truly love to hike through nature, there can be little that matches the appeal of a trek that combines breathtaking mountain peaks with deep canyons and gorges. Centered in the Northern Edom and Moav Mountains, we hike each day through one of the magnificent canyons that are unique to this area. Beginning in the mountains we descend through the canyons and are met in the evening by a car or jeep carrying our evening provisions and camping equipment (this keeps backpacks light, allowing us greater freedom and comfort). The same transport returns us up to the mountains and our start point for the next day's hike. Many of the hikes pass through canyons of running water, where short swims are sometimes essential in order to pass. Favorite hiking routes include: Petra and Wadi Mussa, explore the wondrous Petra before setting off on a hiking trek no less astonishing. Wadi Mussa (meaning 'Valley of Moses'), begins high up in the Edom Mountains at Petra, and ends in the sands of the Arava Valley. A full-days hike takes us through this famous Wadi, rich in picturesque waterfalls, Bedouin Gardens (where fruit and herbs are grown) and ancient Nabatean ruins. Wadi Eben Hamad is the most colorful and scenic canyon in the area, a warm spring runs its entire length before reaching the Dead Sea. Warm rock pools are found throughout the whole canyon, covered in trees and vegetation it is almost sub-tropic. Most surprising of all, in the midst of all this, is a real man-made Turkish bath, surreal in its location, it is surrounded and sheltered by trees. We bathe here in the warm water of what must be one of the areas best kept secrets. Wadi Arnon and Wadi Hidan are the largest and most impressive of all the canyons. Their vertical walls tower 500 meters from the base and the streams, which run their length, reach up to 15 meters high after rain. Due to this no vegetation can grow in the canyons. Particularly outstanding are their Travertine's (similar to stalagmites) and the palm trees that in places grow horizontally across the top of the canyon completely obscuring the sky. This gives the impression of actually walking through a massive cave. Wadi Hassa, imposing vertical walls tower over the hot springs and waterfalls running at its base, an 18km walk takes us right through this lush green canyon. Wadi Zarkat El Mayin ('Green Valley of Springs'), hot springs originate at the top of this impressive canyon and flow all the way down to the Dead Sea. Wadi Ruwer, the least traveled and wildest of all the canyons, it is firm favorite among our intrepid guides.
Price: up to 3 pax.- 350$ per day in total. 4 pax or more- 95$ per person per day. The price doesn't incl. Hotel accommodation.
