Beyond Petra: Jordan by Desert & Sky

See Jordan beyond its most famous façade on a journey through ancient cities, protected wilderness, and the desert landscapes of Wadi Rum.

Walk into Petra by a lesser-used trail, sleep beneath the stars, hike through one of the country’s most important nature reserves, and meet the people whose families have lived in these landscapes for generations.
