Detailed Itinerary
Day 1 Jerusalem
The international airport is in Tel Aviv – Prebook a transfer from the airport to start your tour in Jerusalem. This is a vibrant city with much to see and do; we recommend booking prenights, should you wish to book optional activities or explore on your own
Day 2 Jerusalem
Day 3 Jerusalem/Wadi Rum
You will have one CEO in Israel and one in Jordan. In this case you will be transferred to the border and cross over unescorted to Jordan with any other travellers who are in your group. You will be met on the Jordanian side of the border by another CEO. See the "Detailed Trip Notes" section of the Tour Details page for helpful instructions on crossing the Israeli-Jordanian border.
Safi Kitchen is part of a nonprofit organization working in the South Ghour region, south of the Dead Sea, to create opportunities for members of the local community. The mission of the company is to raise awareness about the importance of cultural heritage and natural resources of the area. Their tourism program is key to the expansion of their environmental and social mission.
Drive to Wadi Rum, a vast, silent landscape of ancient riverbeds and the largest and most magnificent of Jordan's desert landscapes. Head deep into the desert by 4x4 stopping at famous landmarks along the way. Depending on the season / weather conditions, the 4x4 excursion may be done on the morning of day 4.
Arrive to the tented camp in time for a traditional meal and learn more about this ancient culture. There is a large, central tent that is traditionally decorated and perfect for relaxing or escaping the cold nights in winter. Our dinner is prepared in traditional fashion, with the meat and vegetables cooked in an underground oven. Soft drinks and water are available for purchase (alcohol is not available). Lanterns light the way but we do suggest you bring a flashlight. Please remember that Israel and Jordan are very different Countries, in terms of culture, daily way of life and infrastructure. The best part of travel is gaining insight into these difference and keeping an open mind. Its important to note that transport vehicles in Israel are usually much more modern than in Jordan.
Accommodation in the desert is in one large goat-hair tent divided into "rooms" with curtains. Basic linens are provided but many travellers prefer to bring a sleep sheet for extra comfort. There are shared, unisex toilette facilities. For religious reasons, no alcohol is permitted at the camp
Day 4 Wādī Mūsá/Petra
The site is large so please be prepared for a lot of walking over sand and rocks for the entire day. Pace yourself, stay hydrated and be sure to have proper walking/hiking shoes.
In Jordan, alcohol is not often available in accommodations or restaurants. In the town of Wadi Musa (Petra), there are bars to enjoy a drink.
Day 5 Wādī Mūsá/Amman
Thursday and Friday are party nights in the Middle East. Join your Jordanian CEO for a night out at the famous Rainbow Street, or in new local favourite spot the Abdali Boulevard area.
Day 6 Amman/Tel Aviv
Today we stop to float in the Dead Sea – don’t worry if you can’t swim, the water is so dense it’s not possible to sink. After, we will stop in Bethlehem for a quick photo stop to see the Palestinian town where Jesus Christ was born (while there won’t be time to go inside, you’ll be able to see the Church of the Nativity from the outside) and to see Banksy's 'Walled Off Hotel'.
Opt to head out tonight and experience the famed Tel Aviv nightlife – day 6 is a Friday, the best night of the week for clubbing with locals. Today your Jordan CEO will accompany the group to the border where you will cross back over unescorted into Israel. You will be met on the Israel side of the border by your Israel CEO. See the "Detailed Trip Notes" section of the Tour Details page for helpful instructions on crossing the Israeli-Jordanian border. The boarder is often busy so be prepared for long lines and a wait
Day 7 Tel Aviv
Some attractions are not open on Shabbat. If you have a particular museum in mind to visit while you are in Tel Aviv, we strongly recommend staying another day or two.
Day 8 Tel Aviv
With so much to do and see in Tel Aviv, we highly recommend booking post nights to fully enjoy all that the city has to offer.
