Little Petra

little petra

Little Petra, or Al-Bayda, is a smaller archaeological site near Petra in Jordan. 

Often considered a "sneak peek" of Petra, it features rock-carved facades, tombs, and temples nestled in narrow sandstone canyons. Unlike Petra, Little Petra is less crowded, offering a quieter, more intimate exploration. It was likely a suburb of Petra, serving as a hub for traders. 

Visitors can wander through its beautiful canyons, see ancient Nabatean frescoes, and enjoy the serene desert atmosphere, making it a hidden gem for history and nature lovers.

Wadi Rum

wadi rum

Wadi Rum—often called the “Valley of the Moon”—is one of the most spectacular desert landscapes in the world. Located in southern Jordan, it’s famous for its dramatic sandstone mountains, vast red sand dunes, and ancient cultural history.

Enjoy a 4x4 Bedouin Jeep Tour inside the Wadi, covering its “martian like” highlights.

Venture deep into the vast desert landscapes of Wadi Rum, where towering sandstone mountains rise from endless red sands and silence stretches as far as the eye can see. 

Travelling by 4WD with a local Bedouin guide, this safari takes you through some of the desert’s most striking formations — from natural rock bridges to ancient canyons etched with petroglyphs thousands of years old.

Overnight: Wadi Rum luxury camp

Activites

• Dead Sea

Dead Sea

dead sea

Get ready to float!

The Dead Sea is one of the world’s most extraordinary natural treasures, lying at the lowest point on Earth’s surface, more than 430 metres below sea level. Renowned for its intense salinity—almost ten times saltier than the ocean—the water makes floating effortless, giving visitors the surreal experience of drifting on its shimmering surface.

Rich in minerals such as magnesium, calcium, and potassium, the Dead Sea has been prized for centuries for its healing and therapeutic qualities. Cleopatra herself is said to have favoured the area for beauty treatments, and today, its black mud is used in skin therapies around the world. The surrounding landscapes, with their stark mountains and desert views, add to the sense of otherworldly beauty.
