Day 6: Jeep Tour at Wadi Rum

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!

Petra - Aqaba

Day 7: Discover Petra

If this is your first visit to Petra you can walk your way through the mystic Siq until you reach the Treasury. Then you can continue up to the high place of Sacrifice or walk via the Roman Theater to the Royal Tombs.

If you have already visited the city before, you can make an extra hike via the back road into Petra. A local Bedouin Guide will take you with a 4x4 jeep to the start of the hike. 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!

After a long exciting day in the urban area, you will travel back to the Aqaba resort and prepare for your journey home.
