A wonderful week in Jordan. I would highly recommend this trip. Despite what is going on in other Middle Eastern countries, Jordan felt safe and it was clear that Jordan was struggling with a lack of tourists. The trip took us to such varied places in Jordan itself and I really enjoyed the mix. The group got on well and for anyone who is younger reading this – not everyone in an Exodus trip is over 60.
Wadi Rum
Adventure Holidays to Wadi Rum
The Wadi Rum is otherworldly: a copper valley forged into the sandstone and granite rock of southwest Jordan. You’ve probably seen it already. The desert scenery has been used in a string of Hollywood blockbusters, including the Star Wars franchise, The Martian, Dune and, perhaps mostly famously of all, in Lawrence of Arabia, the 1962 classic about the British lieutenant T.E. Lawrence who is etched into local folklore.
Many of our small-group adventures to Jordan visit Wadi Rum. Take a jeep safari into the dunes and bed down there for the evening, staying in a a private Bedouin camp. Appreciate the changing colours of the sand from sunset to sunrise; after dark, gaze upwards as a galaxy of stars puts on a night-long lightshow.

Monica Li A Week in Jordan
Zhane Solomons A Week in JordanJordan was nothing sort of spectacular, offering a balance between culture, history, religion and leisure. It certainly is a trip that has to be done at least once in your life.
Alexandra Dent A Week in JordanVisiting Jordan, especially Petra has been on my bucket list for some time. What an amazing country which didn’t disappoint. This started from the earliest moments of flying out there and speaking to Jordanians on the flight I was touched and humbled by their kindness and friendliness. It was my first organised trip and I was somewhat anxious about what to expect, but the people in my group were super. I havent laughed so much in such a long time. It is a full on itinerary but we were looked after so well and given many opportunities to really embrace the authenticity of the country, from visiting the stunning historical sites to walking through the city streets at night and soaking up the spices and culture of the many markets. We had a very comfortable coach with plenty of space for us all and a very safe and careful driver. It was one of the best holidays I have ever had and I am so glad and grateful to have had this wonderful opportunity.
