The mix up at Jordan airport - no one to meet us with visas.

Also the tipping kitty was quite high for Egypt . Jordan was no problem with the kitty and it worked well.

Signature Journeys8My mum and I absolutely loved the tour! We were so lucky to have Ghadhan or 'G' as we called him. He took great care to ensure we were safe and happy. He went above and beyond to try to accommodate the needs of everyone. He had such amazing knowledge. We were really sad to say goodbye. The hotel in Amman, while it had a nice rooftop restaurant and lovely helpful reception staff, we found the beds very uncomfortable. We also found the breakfast buffet lacking in service and options. All other accommodation was exceptional and we really enjoyed.

Signature Journeys6Hameed was a delight. As well as organising us well, his knowledge of Petra was incredible and made this a highlight of the trip. Wadi Rum was also amazing. Other than the shopping stop to buy jackets (very helpful), there were too many shopping stops. We spent more time shopping than in the churches.

Why visit Wadi Rum
A desert stop that adds drama, calm, and a real sense of space
Wadi Rum reveals a striking, elemental side of Jordan, with red sands, towering rock walls, and a stillness that feels worlds away from the cities. On tours that visit Wadi Rum, the desert is rarely treated as a quick photo stop; instead, time is set aside for the scenery, often through a 4x4 drive into open plains and quiet valleys, with a camel ride that naturally slows the pace and changes your perspective. It also fits seamlessly into classic Jordan routes, pairing easily with Petra for history and the Dead Sea for rest and recovery. If you prefer a clear plan, guided tours can remove much of the stress around timings, transfers, and entry arrangements, while private or self-guided options suit travelers who want more space and flexibility. Some itineraries extend into Egypt, Israel, or Saudi Arabia, but Wadi Rum remains a defining Jordan highlight within the overall route.
