Camping Tours
Jordan, home to the biblical realms of Gilead, Moab, and Edom, not to mention the ancient red-stone city of Petra (believed to have been inhabited as long ago as 1200 B.C.), is one of the most historically fascinating countries in the world. One of the best ways to explore these legendary lands is to set out directly into the Wadi Rum desert, following in the footsteps of military strategist, writer, and hero to the masses, T.E. Lawrence – aka “Lawrence of Arabia.” Jordan Via Petra makes the journey as comfortable as it is enlightening – sticking to certain Jordanian traditions like traveling in camel caravans and bedding down in resilient, hand-made Bedouin tents, while making sure that guests are taken care of with prepared meals, private toilets, and an inviting atmosphere of Arabian rugs, pillows, and candles. Along the way, you’ll explore historic fortresses and monasteries, hike Bagher Mountain (Lawrence’s desert lookout), admire Petra’s pink architecture, swim in the Dead Sea, and enjoy homemade meals in a local village
