Camel Trek Jordan

8 Day Adventure & Culture Jordan

Camel Trek Jordan will take through a journey through the most magnificent sites Jordan has to offer, whilst riding upon the majestic camel, a practical form of transport still used here since ancient times. This adventure will lead you into the Jordanian desert, where you will sleep under the stars in a nomadic desert camp. Take a dip in the red sea and visit the Madaba fortress with its rich history. See the UNESCO World Heritage site of Petra, with its breathtaking ancient tombs, panoramic views, and much more. Immerse yourself in the stunning landscape of Wadi Rum, as you trek by camel across its deep canyons, rolling sand dunes and imposing rock formations. Finally, enjoy a stay in Jordan’s capital Amman, where the hustle and bustle of modern day city living provides a stark contrast to the desert wilderness. Here you can explore its downtown historical sites, shop till you drop or simply relax in the comfort of your hotel for a well-deserved rest.
