Add the desert magic of Wadi Rum

Petra pairs perfectly with Wadi Rum, the breathtaking desert valley a couple of hours south, where vast sandstone mountains rise from red sand and Bedouin camps offer nights under some of the clearest star-filled skies on earth. A half-day jeep tour with a Bedouin guide is affordable and unforgettable, and an overnight stay in a desert camp is one of Jordan's signature experiences. The Wadi Rum entry fee is included in the Jordan Pass. Together with Petra, it makes the classic southern Jordan trip. We'll explain how to combine the two and what a desert camp stay involves.
