Itinerary
Welcome to Jordan! Bronze age ruins, a restored Roman theatre, art galleries & a Royal Automobile Museum, Jordan's capital city is a Middle Eastern metropolis of ancient and modern and the perfect place to begin our adventure. We’ll linger here for a night and enjoy an included dinner to get to know each other.
Accommodation: Rawa Hotel Suites (or similar)
Meals: Dinner
We’ll enjoy a leisurely breakfast this morning before setting off, bound for a visit and lunch stop at the Treadright-supported Iraq Al-Amir Women's Cooperative Society on our way to the ancient Greco-Roman city of Jerash and Rose City of Petra. Here in Jerash, we’ll uncover the Greek & Roman influences on this holy land, as a tour of the city sees us peruse Corinthian columns and ancient ruins. Arriving in Petra, our anticipation will be at an all-time high with the knowledge that tomorrow we’ll be visiting the UNESCO World Heritage site that this city is famed for.
Accommodation: Petra Panorama Hotel (or similar)
Meals: Breakfast
Today is dedicated to uncovering the wonders of Petra - the magnificent ancient capital of the Nabatean Kingdom, where the hues of pink make us forget what era we’re in. Once we’re done taking pictures, we’ll be awed a second time as our local guide briefs us on the city’s history. Getting up close and personal with Pharaoh’s Castle, the Triumphal Arc and the Treasury, we’ll see just why this is the greatest attraction in the Middle East. After a full day of exploring, we’ll head back to our hotel for an included dinner.
Accommodation: Petra Panorama Hotel (or similar)
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner
All that cultural discovery of the past few days has us craving some chill time, and we’ll find it in Wadi Rum. We’ll leave Petra and embark on a journey through Jordan’s largest and most stunning desert. Silent landscapes, ancient riverbeds and pastel colours will have us glued to the windows as we hop in a 4x4 for the full desert experience. Tonight, we'll be treated to a Special Stay overnight in the desert, complete with comfortable tents and dinner under the stars.
Accommodation: Rum Oasis Camp (or similar)
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner
Rested and in love with the desert, we're heading back to Amman today where we'll have a final night here in Jordan. Suitably sun-kissed and utterly relaxed, we'll return to Amman. We'll kick off with a tour of its most iconic sights, and then you're free to do what you please tonight. You can join your crew for a delicious traditional Jordanian dinner (that also empowers female chefs!). Or hey, hit the hay, ready for more adventures on the morrow.
Accommodation: Rawa Hotel Suites (or similar)
Meals: Breakfast
It’s been one incredible adventure, but all good things must come to an end. After a hearty breakfast, we’ll say our goodbyes and swap details. We sense new adventures on the horizon!

Jordan was an amazing place that with great sights! The contiki trip took away all the stress and had a lovely time seeing the sights and meeting new people. It was not the usual contiki trip as it was sub contracted to a local tour company ‘Petra wonders(?)’ so we had a great local tour guide but this meant some things were not quite the same in terms of how a normal contiki is run in terms of day activity communications and there were some discrepancies between the contiki itinerary and the tour company itinerary… (nearly accidentally missed out Aqaba as not on local tour company itinerary but was on the contiki itinerary & included a tour of Amman citadel with we were not expecting as was not on the contiki itinerary). I would recommend staying an extra day at the end of the contiki and arranging your own tour to go to mt nebo and the Dead Sea as these are amazing must see places that are missed by the tour. All in all a very glorious trip that I would highly recommend!

Itinerary and activities were really well planned and thought. Trip Manager was great and contributed to making the Jordan trip a wonderful experience. If you have the chance to book this trip, you definitely should. Experience of booking was easy, and intuitive. Information shared by Contiki and the trip manager before the trip were really detailed and useful. Overall a really good experience

Incredible experience! This trip hit so many of the highlights in Jordan and we enjoyed the flexibility of having a smaller group and added some side experiences on the fly. Less partying than I understand a typical Contiki to have as Jordan is a dry country, but I don't think many of us felt like we missed out! I was only a bit disappointed that a visit to the Dead Sea was not included on the Jordan side of the trip but it was easy to find my way there once the trip had concluded. The Contiki customer service team was excellent! I made a change just over 3 weeks out from my trip and switched from Jordan and Israel Uncovered to only Jordan Uncovered. Not only were they easily able to make that change, I got a full refund for the Israel portion! I was very impressed with Contiki's customer service before this trip!

I really enjoyed Contiki Jordan Uncovered. I thought our tour manager, Rob, & local guide, Mo, were the dynamic duo! Jordan is beautiful & I absolutely loved Petra! We also did so many other things like visit Jerash, Wadi Rum, beach club by the Red Sea, & at the end of the trip, some friends & I went to the Dead Sea. It was so hot, but also sooo fun!! I thought Contiki’s service was a little last minute. For my first trip, I wish they set up the FB group 30 days in advance or had a better way to get in contact with other travelers.

The itinerary was really good, so much packed into it to see everything we wanted to! Having more time in Petra was really good so we could see everything we wanted to. Carl and Ra’ed the local guide were really knowledgable and made the experience great!! They organised for us optional trip to a beach club in Aqaba which was so worth it on the last day as we could relax and go to the beach. Think this should be included in the itinerary from now on. Really helpful customer service with any enquiries. Although clearly the Jordan trip with the new itinerary had not been vetted by Contiki before my group went on it. We got a final hotel list through the day before travel and when we stayed in Wadi Rum it was a different place to on that list. No one had any WiFi or service to contact any next of kin to say we were saying in a different place so for safety reasons that was not good. Also we were put in rooms that were not up to the standard of contiki and when we complained then we got rooms sorted that were better. Just seemed that because the new itinerary had changed, a lot of stuff hadn’t been checked before sending a group out on the trip which wasn’t good and wasn’t fair on the trip manager when we had complaints.
