Itinerary

Expand All

Day 1: Amman, Jordan

Location: Amman

Airport Pick-Up & Accommodation Check-In

Upon arrival you will be picked up at the airport in Amman and transferred to your accommodation for check-in. Enjoy the rest of the day on your own to discover this magnificent and diverse city. Overnight in Amman.

Day 2: Amman, Jordan

Location: Amman

Amman & Jerash City Tours (B)
Today begins with a tour of Jordan's capital city. Amman is rich in history dating back many millennia. See the Citadel - the former home of the ancient Temple of Hercules, The Umayyad Palace, and the Byzantine Church before we make our way to the 6000-seater Roman theatre. The ancient theatre is still in use today, playing host to numerous cultural events.
From Amman, we travel to Jerash - one of the world's most well-preserved Roman architecture sites outside of Italy. Hidden away from the world underneath sand for centuries, archaeological work over the past 70 years has revealed that Jerash was a fine example of Roman urbanism, with paved and colonnaded streets, hilltop temples, impressive theatres, public squares and plazas. Overnight in Amman.

Day 3: Amman - Petra, Jordan

Location: Wadi Musa

Transfer to Petra (B)
Leave Amman with a scenic drive along the King’s Highway to Petra, cross deep Wadis, olive groves and remote rural villages. On your way you’ll see the Roman mosaics at Madaba and visit Kerak Castle, one in a chain of Crusader fortresses built across Jordan in the 12th century. Overnight in Petra.
Note: This evening, for an extra cost, you can book an optional Petra by Candlelight tour.

Day 4: Petra, Jordan

Location: Wadi Musa

Today we embark on a journey to Petra, the ancient Nabataean capital, later annexed by Rome in 106 AD. Petrad, forgotten until Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt rediscovered it in 1812, lies amidst the rugged terrain of the Wadi Aruba desert, accessible via the narrow Siq gorge. Here, the Nabataeans chiseled remarkable structures into the colorful sandstone cliffs, forming one of Jordan's premier tourist destinations.

Our day includes a 2-3 hour guided tour followed by independent exploration. We enter via the Siq, a narrow passage walled by towering cliffs, spotting ancient water channels along the way. As we emerge, the iconic Khazneh or Treasury looms into view, with our guide discussing the intricacies and spiritual significance of Petra's architecture.

Beyond the Treasury, explore tombs, a Roman amphitheater, and colonnaded streets. In your free time, you can climb to the 'Monastery,' offering stunning views of the Wadi Aruba desert and Jordan Valley, or visit the High Place of Sacrifice. This venture is physically demanding yet highly rewarding.

The day's walks range from a minimum 3km trek through the Siq to extended hikes of over 8km. Horse-drawn carriages are available through the Siq for those needing assistance (approx. 20 JD / USD 28). 

In the afternoon, we depart for Wadi Rum, where we'll be greeted by Bedouin hosts at a camp set against stunning desert backdrops. Here, we will relax, dine on traditional Jordanian cuisine, and spend the evening stargazing.


Day 5: Petra - Amman, Jordan

Location: Amman

Wadi Rum 4WD Tour & Dead Sea Visit (B)
We start the day exploring the beautiful desert and mountain scenery of Wadi Rum. We'll take a jeep safari through the beautiful desert scenery, seeing more of the sheer cliffs and bizarre rock formations. Keep an eye out for the copper-coloured 'jebels', the region's iconic mesmerising rock formations.
Next we'll head north towards the Dead Sea, one of the planet's most spectacular destinations. Not only is it the lowest point on earth at 400 metres below sea level, it's also considered to be one of the world's most spiritual landscapes, filled with dramatic, natural wonders. Float in this dense, rich, cocktail of salts and minerals for a truly unforgettable experience.
We will finish the day back at our hotel in Amman.

Day 6: Amman, Jordan

The Bamba Team really made my journey one of the most memorable experiences of my life! Still so nice and supportive! They handled everything and responded to each question within a few minutes. I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone. Especially if you want to do a lot of activities and travel to a lot of different places without feeling rushed. They've also helped me with specific issues that weren't covered by the tour, as well as answering general questions. Thank you so much for making my journey so enjoyable!

I only have good words about our trip to Kenya. The entire experience was totally magical and I struggle to say how fantastic it was. We were fortunate enough to have a brilliant vehicle for ourselves, but we had great luck with David for our guide too. He was very knowledgeable, courteous and nice. Thank you for helping to create this fantastic safari experience. I Highly recommend this company.

Bamba Experience has been the best tour guide I've ever had. Every tour has been a thrilling experience. There are so many things to choose from. Bamba has been extremely helpful in providing us with all of the necessary information for our departures and activities! Bamba has made this a simple and enjoyable experience. I'll certainly tell my friends and family about it! Thank you very much, Bamba!!

Feb 20 2020

We organized a trip through Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia on the hop-on, hop-off bus. It made the trip so much simpler for us as first-time travelers because we just had to send an email to arrange the bus, which avoided the hassle of looking for the best price and so on! We also had a number of tours included, they were all amazing and saved us the trouble of trying to find the best offers on our own; it also meant we got to see a lot of stuff we wouldn't have seen otherwise. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that I will strongly suggest and use again!

Our Bamba tour of Vietnam was fantastic. We had a lot of new experiences and all of the help we needed to make this a stress-free vacation. The well-organized accomodation and transportation were excellent. We will certainly use Bamba in the future.

Jun 25 2019

I had booked our Uyuni Salt Flats & Desert Adventure 3D/2N (Uyuni to Atacama) tour via an Australian travel agency, but they had made an error and refused to assist us or take responsibility. This was very difficult for us because we wanted to have a stress-free honeymoon. I contacted Bamba and I asked if we could talk on the phone so they made the improvements to our tour reservation that our travel agent declined to make. The quality of service was exceptional and they generously offered to us a complimentary gift because it was our honeymoon. I can't say enough good things about Bamba.
