What's this trip about?

    TRIP VIBE = iconic sights and in-depth adventures with a local Trip Leader. Fiery desert landscapes to world-class wreck diving. Ancient sandstone cities to ultra-modern metropolises. Floating weightlessly on the surface of the Dead Sea to partying like a local in lively Tel Aviv... it’s hard to know what to expect from these two incredibly diverse countries except the fact that they EXCEEED expectations in every. single. way. Ready to see why?

Itinerary

Travel Map

Day 1: Amman (Jordan)

Punch ‘7000 BC’ into the time machine and hold onto your backpack, you’ve just landed in a city discovered thousands – yep, THOUSANDS – of years ago. Find your name on a placard at Arrivals – it’s in the hands of your super-stoked Topdeck Rep. Fling your stuff ...

Day 2: Amman – Madaba, Mt Nebo and Karak – Petra

Get your fill of brekkie goodness. You’re gonna need it as we hit the road to Petra. The Lost City is the end goal, but the journey is just as sweet. First? Madaba. Known as the City of Mosaics, every corner EXPLODES with intricacy, vitality and colour. Want to...

Day 3: Petra

Can you imagine wandering through the streets of a 10,000-year-old city? Don't just imagine it. LIVE it. The Lost City is a labyrinth of ancient tombs, hypnotic temples and flaming-red cliff faces. Our day begins with an orientation walk with our expert Trip Le...

Day 4: Petra – Wadi Rum

After brekkie, hop in a 4x4 and cruise across the burnt-orange sands of The Valley of the Moon. Our destination for one night only? A Bedouin Camp in the crux of the Jordanian desert. Dinner is prepared by a nomadic tribe who has seen the world evolve before it...

Day 5: Wadi Rum – Aqaba

We’re swapping sand for sea today, so get ready for all things aquatic at Aqaba! The only coastal city in Jordan sits on the edge of the Red Sea. You know what that means? It's your chance to trade feet for fins and dive right in! Spot Sebastian, Nemo and some ...

Day 6: Aqaba – Dead Sea – Amman

A big fan of salt? You love it on your hot chips. But how about on your skin? ’Cos the Dead Sea is FULL of it. Float on top of the rippling water like a weightless cloud. Even after a hefty serving of breakfast. Ever dipped a papercut into salt by accident? Yep...

Day 7: Amman – Jerash – Jerusalem (Israel)

Crank the history knob to 11 with a visit to Jerash – home to a bunch of Greco-Roman highlights, including a hippodrome which was used for chariot racing (and has nothing to do with hippos). Then wave goodbye to Jordan as we cross into Israel. Flash your passpo...

Day 8: Jerusalem

Jerusalem is the G.O.A.T. of holy places. Christianity, Islam AND Judaism believe it encompasses all things sacred. Get educated about this city on a guided tour. We’re talking Mount of Olives for the incred views. Church of All Nations AND the Garden of Gethse...

Day 9: Jerusalem – Bethlehem – Jerusalem

Today begins on a sombre note with a visit to Yad Vashem, The World Holocaust Remembrance Centre – please dress respectfully. In the museum, you can take in the Hall of Names, read survivors’ tales and see personal artifacts of Holocaust victims. It’s an eye-op...

Day 10: Jerusalem – Lake Galilee & Golan Heights – Northern Israel Region

Tranquil. Stormy. Unbelievable. REAL. Nope, it’s not the latest retrograde. It’s Lake Galilee. Our first stop of the day. You may not get to walk on water, but you can deffo embrace the serene atmosphere on an included boat tour. Onwards to Golan Heights. Get y...

Day 11: Northern Israel Region – Nazareth – Tel Aviv

Our road trip continues! First stop: Nazareth. An awesome sight you’ll behold on our included walking tour: the Basilica of the Annunciation. According to Catholic tradition, this is the site of Mary’s home, where Angel Gabriel announced she would give birth to...

Day 12: Tel Aviv

Down your pomegranate juice and take a deep breath – this morning it’s time to say our goodbyes. Get in on the WhatsApp group for next year’s reunion, where it WILL make it out of the chat. Sticking around? Track down Abu Hassan for hummus that will haunt your dreams (it’s that good).
