Is this trip right for you?
There are some long travel days on this trip, with driving times adding up to between six and eight hours. This is a good opportunity to get to know your fellow travellers and soak up the diverse scenery.
It’s important to prepare for hot temperatures during the day and cooler climates in the evening, particularly in the desert. Layers are the one of the best ways to tackle this disparity in weather. Water, hats and comfortable shoes for lots of walking around sites like Petra are recommended. Also pack some warmer clothes for the winter season.
Jordan requires a certain level of modesty in terms of clothing, although on the beach the usual swimwear is acceptable.
Please be aware that consumption of alcohol outside of approved venues or in the streets is illegal.
