Day 2 Tour of Madaba, cycle to Mount Nebo and descend to the Dead Sea

Day 3 Cycle from Shobak to Petra

This morning, we'll take a short drive to Shobak Castle, the first in a series of crusader castles built in Jordan. After we've explored the ruins, we'll cycle along the King's Highway - the ancient road that once carried King Solomon's treasure-laden caravan - to Pet...

Day 4 Full day exploring Petra

Today we begin exploring Petra. This ancient city, carved into pink sandstone cliffs, has to be seen to be believed, but poet John Burgon beautifully described it as 'A rose-red city half as old as time'. Our Explore Leader will guide us on a tour through Petra's hig...

This morning is free to continue exploring Petra or relax in Wadi Musa. After a traditional Bedouin lunch, we'll hop on our bikes to cycle to Little Petra. We'll also visit El Beidha to explore an excavated Stone-Age village where we'll see the remain of houses, firep...

Day 7 Cycle from Wadi Rum and continue to Aqaba by bus

Today is our final day of cycling and we'll set off to cross the Hejaz railway line and tour the most desolate planes of Wadi Rum. We'll ride along the 'Jelada', the dried mud tracks left by the rare rains in the region. Few people visit this area, where mirages turn ...

Day 8 Free day by the Red Sea before continuing to Amman

Today is a free day for exploring Aqaba or relaxing at the beach. The port city is famous for its preserved coral reefs and sea life and our Explore Leader will be on hand to organise an optional sailing and snorkelling trip before we head back to Amman later in the afternoon.
