Overview

Anyone who stands for the first time through the Siq gorge in front of the Treasury of Petra understands why this trip is on lists of lifelong wishes. The rock glows pink, the stillness sinks in, and the image stays with you for a long time. The travel season is March to May as well as October and November, when hikes do not become a test of heat. Petra deserves at least two days: one for the main paths, one for the high paths to the Monastery Ad-Deir.

Wadi Rum in the south is a valley of red sand and rock towers, where you stay overnight in Bedouin camps and see the starry sky. At the Dead Sea you finally let yourself float and rest. Amman in the north complements the trip with citadel and old town, if time remains. The distances are longer than the map suggests, so the schedule needs a buffer.

On the ground you need sturdy footwear, sun protection and plenty of water. A trip of this kind lives from not ticking off stops but letting them work. In the video call you discuss order and pace before accommodation is chosen.
