Jordan is a country where ancient history merges with natural beauty to provide one of the most diverse travel experiences. Whether you find yourself lusting after Petra’s epic carvings, Wadi Rum’s star-studded nights or the healing waters of the Dead Sea, a perfectly planned Jordan tour is enough to bring all your gap-year dreams to life - even if in just 2 days!
If you don’t have a lot of time but are still asking yourself, “What to do in Jordan in 2 days?” this is your itinerary. Here’s how to design the perfect personalized Jordan tour package to visit three of the country’s most iconic sights all in one unforgettable weekend.
It all starts with a Petra tour – a journey back to the days of the Nabataeans. Walking through this narrow gorge, hemmed in by towering sandstone cliffs, it’s hard not to be amazed as the Treasury (Al-Khazneh) comes into view - and the sight is every bit as otherworldly as the rest of Jordan.
There’s more to do in Petra than just seeing the famous Treasury. While there, visit the Street of Facades, Royal Tombs, and hike up to the Monastery (Ad-Deir) for some sweeping views of the city. Petra is not just a sight to see; it is a sensation of place, every step a reverberation of history and mystery.
Finish your explorations of Petra with a meal at a local Jordanian restaurant where you can feast on dishes such as Mansaf and fresh-baked shrak bread – a delicious and energising stop before your next adventure.
After a day of history and culture, think outside the box and head to the famous Wadi Rum desert - otherwise known as “The Valley of the Moon”. Here, dramatic sandstone peaks and miles of golden sand form the cinematic scenery behind that very Hollywood stardom.
Your Wadi Rum tour may include an exciting 4x4 jeep ride to discover secluded canyons and ancient petroglyphs. Ride a camel or discover the amazing landscape and peacefulness of the desert on a hike. Make for a magically warm night of Bedouin hospitality. Sip sweet Bedouin tea under the stars at night as you sit by the campfire or do a stargazing experience with a professional astronomer.
For those who looking for something different, visiting Wadi Rum offers glamping options that are out of this world. Well, waking up in a luxury tent for sunrise views that feel like another planet!
After quite an exciting evening, it’s a time for rest. Journey to the lowest spot on Earth - the Dead Sea. The med-mineral waters are known for their healing properties, and there truly is nothing like bobbing weightlessly on its salty surface.
After that packed itinerary, a Dead Sea tour is the ideal way to recharge. Experience a mud bath, gaze at the mountains and relax. It’s a nice way to wrap up your whirlwind Jordan adventure.
