Trip Informations
Dive into the Middle East on this 11-day journey through Jordan, Israel and the Palestinian Territories. Find hidden bars and delicious falafel in Amman, then head to Wadi Rum to hike, watch the sunrise and explore in a 4WD. Witness the awe-inspiring site of Petra and soak away your worries in the Dead Sea. Head to Madaba for a look at the beautiful mosaics, then eat your way around Jerusalem's lively Machane Yehuda Market. Hike through enchanting desert scapes in Ein Gedi National Park and visit Bethlehem to discover thought-provoking street art along the West Bank Barrier (including a Banksy piece!). Drive through the countryside and arrive in the seaside party town of Tel Aviv for a long night to remember.
Why you’ll love this trip
Sleep under the stars at a Bedouin-style camp in Wadi Rum with all the creature comforts, waking for a stunning sunrise and a thrill-seeking 4WD adventure. 
Only Petra’s Treasury – one of the Seven Wonders of the World – is stunning enough to be the temple of the Holy Grail. Your pass to this sacred site lasts two full days so that you can explore every nook and cranny at your own pace. 
See the lowest point on earth – the Dead Sea – and float in its famously salty waters, soaking up its healing minerals and lathering yourself in the rejuvenating mud (if the mood strikes). 
Hike the desert oasis of Ein Gedi National Park and find hidden springs, waterfalls and amazing views of the Dead Sea – the lowest point on Earth, which you can opt to visit after a post-walk swim.   
Find cool, hidden bars in Jerusalem in your free time and hit the bustling nightlife in Tel Aviv – now known as one of the best destinations in the world for clubs, bars and partying!
Is this trip right for you?
It’s not all hot desert days in Jordan, as the winter months (December to February) can be quite cold. Temperatures in northern parts of the country can drop to freezing overnight. Snowfall around these areas, as well as Amman, is common. Pack smart to prepare you for varying temperatures if travelling during these months.   
You’re the boss on this trip. There’s loads of free time to do whatever you want or optional activities to show you the way. Maybe budget a little extra cash for activities that aren’t included. 
Some accommodation on this trip is in dorm rooms with up to 12 travellers. They may not all be fellow Tuuur travellers, and your group could be split across different rooms. Where possible (and unless requested otherwise) we will accommodate you in same gender rooms. 
Sites can get congested during peak travel periods with coaches of large pilgrim groups. We do our best to plan our visits around these times but sometimes it is unavoidable. There may be delays, queues and private services that prevent us from entering the site. Your trip leader will manage this as best as they can on the day.
