It's time for the cultural & exploring part of your vacation. After you have relaxed your body and mind through 3 days of diving, you may want to learn some new things and visit exciting places in Jordan. Today after breakfast, you'll drive to the red colored Wadi Rum desert to hop on a two-hour jeep tour along the best places of this cultural UNESCO world heritage. You could also opt for a 2.5 hour camel ride throughout the desert. Try a deliciously cooked Beduini meal for lunch before setting off to Petra, where you can drop in at your hotel. 

In the afternoon there, you have the possibility to try some optional activities such as having a dinner with the locals in Petra, or joining a cooking class. And probably the most exciting idea- relax your muscles in the Hammam/Turkish bath as soon as you get back in!

The road has fantastic views over the Wadi Araba desert and brings you to the biggest monument of Petra: The Monastery. Make sure that you take your camera with you to capture this moment!
