Petra and other highlights of a tailormade holiday to Jordan
While there are some experiences that appear on everyone’s bucket list in Jordan – be it exploring the once lost city of Petra, sleeping under the stars in Wadi Rum or pampering yourself with Dead Sea mud, there is so much more to the Hashemite Kingdom that lies off the well beaten tourist track. Below we’ve highlighted some of the key sights to see in Jordan as well as some hidden gems to form to add some variation to your tailor made holiday.
Dana Nature Reserve
Unique in the Middle East region, the Dana Nature Reserve is a protected region overseen by Jordan’s RSCN...

Everything went smoothly from start to finish. Eid was an extremely knowledgeable guide and we feel very lucky to have had him. I would highly recommend your tailor made tours again. In hindsight we could've easily done the trek in Dana ourselves without our guide but we still had a great time. Feynan eco lodge was a highlight.”
The five day tour was a wonderful taste of Jordan and was well-organised and most enjoyable. Amer was incredibly knowledgeable and took a lot of tim and trouble to explain very thing to us. We had just the right balance of sight-seeing to R&R. I suppose if we had any slight complaint it would be that the desert camp we stayed in for one night was much more primitive and a lot colder than we had ben warned - but that aside the trip was wonderful and we will certainly use On the Go again and may well make another trip to see the parts of Jordan we couldn't squeeze in this time round. ”
Very interesting trip. All the bookings from the flights, self drive car hire, hotels and camping stay in Wadi Rum were well organized. Would definitely recommend On The Go Tours. So many wonderful experiences including the Dead Sea, Petra and the desert. The Jordanian people are just lovely.”
Red Sea Relaxation
Rugged mountains tumbling down into warm turquoise waters, sandy beaches lining a palm-fringed coast and offshore colourful coral reefs just waiting to be explored. Like what you are picturing? As the only coastal city in Jordan, Aqaba is its gateway to the Red Sea and brimming with opportunity for the discerning traveller. After taking in the sights and delights of Jordan consider unwinding with some rest and relaxation by the sea on your tailor made holiday.
Inspirations for a holiday in Jordan
If you’ve got some extra time on your hands or this is your second trip to Jordan, why not venture off the beaten track or try something different with this list of unique experiences.
Petra Kitchen
A large part of getting to know a destination is by sampling the local cuisine and if you’ve been to the Middle East before you’ll be well aware that the flavours and aromas of the region are simply divine. Learn how to prepare traditional Jordanian meals at Petra Kitchen, a small locally-run business, where wannabe chefs can whip up dishes with the guidance of an experienced chef. Enjoy the fruit of your labour and take home recipes to recreate at home.
Shaumari Wildlife Reserve
When you think about booking a 4x4 wildlife safari, chances are you aren’t picturing yourself in the Middle East – well think again! The Shaumari Wildlife Reserve near the town of Azraq is a wonderful place to get back to nature in Jordan where you can spot some of the endangered species in the region such as the Arbian Oryx, ostrich and gazelles.
Ma'n Six Senses Spa
Nestled at the foot of a rocky canyon near the eastern shore of the Dead Sea, the Evason Ma’in Hot Springs & Six Senses Spa is the ultimate combination of rugged beauty and indulgent luxury. With a sandstone exterior accented by arches and domes this secluded oasis fits perfectly into its surroundings. The in-house spa puts to use the geothermic activity of the area with a range of therapeutic treatments and dipping pool fed by a hot-spring waterfall.
Qasrs aplenty
One thing you certainly won’t come up short on in Jordan is fascinating architectural feats, for the country is loaded to the hilt with ancient Islamic castles, fortresses and abandoned palaces. While there are plenty of castles scattered across the nation, Qasr Kharanah, Qasr Amra, and Qasr Azraq – one of the headquarters of Lawrence of Arabia are well worth a visit.
Mujib Biosphere Reserve
With over 200 sq km of rugged mountainous landscape, deep canyons, towering cliffs, gorges and snaking rivers the Mujib Biosphere Reserve is not only stunning but also the lowest nature reserve on earth. Despite its barren landscape there is a surprising variety of flora and fauna hidden within the cracks of Mujib, most of which is near impossible to reach leaving much of the reserve untouched. Follow nature trails on good, abseil down a waterfall and go for a dip in the cool crystal waters of a waterfall – the possibilities are endless.
Dana Nature Reserve
Another one of Jordan’s hidden gems, the Dana Nature Reserve is the largest in the country and boasts an incredibly varied terrain that plays home to a diversity of plant and animal life. The sandstone cliffs and red rock escarpments are perfect for hiking and exploring many of the archaeological sites found in the reserve. Alternatively, you can take a hike off the path less travelled and enter Petra via one of many trails that take in the surrounding landscape and more.
