Day 3

place Biblical Echoes and Martian Dunes - Mount Nebo, Madaba to Wadi Rum

After breakfast, we head south of Amman to Mount Nebo and the memorial of Prophet Moses, later to visit Madaba and the St George Church, then proceed to Wadi Rum: (guess what blockbusters the Martian, Transformers, and Lawrence of Arabia have in common? They were all shot in Wadi Rum!) Tonight you are in for something spectacular.

 

After we arrive to Rum we’ll go exploring the Martian like desert in a 4X4 pick up for a couple of hours, later we arrive to the camp (and we bet you’re hungry by then) for a Bedouin specialty dinner: ZARB. What’s that, you may ask? Well, it’s a mix of meat like lamb and chicken, rice, potatoes and carrots, placed in a hole in the ground, which is filled with flaming coals. The hole is then covered, and after a few hours, the meat and rice are all smoked, steamed, and grilled, all at the same time!

 

After dinner, you’re in for another treat, you’ll be sleeping in a Martian tent. What’s a Martian Tent, you ask? In short: it’s a tent where you can sleep and stargaze at the same time, of course! I told you’re in for something spectacular!

Day 4

place Red Sea Splendour in Aqaba

After a good night sleep, and a good morning waking up looking out your window at the beautiful desert landscape, we are picked up and headed to Aqaba on the Red Sea.


You don’t want to just relax by the beach there. Under Aqaba waters, there is a hidden coral garden that is out of this world! You are encouraged to snorkel or take a dive, if you have no experience in diving, don’t let that stop you! There are instructors who will help you live the experience rather than just regretting it.


Not the adventurous type or you prefer doing your thing in style? A glass bottom boat tour is available aswell! You can see the coral gardens, marine life, while dry and having lunch too!  - Overnight in Aqaba.
