6 Days – 5 Nights Jordan Private Luxury Tour All Inclusive
Jordan packs an astonishing amount into six days: Roman streets in Jerash, Crusader-era stonework at Ajloun, mosaic art in Madaba, biblical viewpoints, salty Dead Sea water, Petra’s rose-colored cliffs, and a night beneath the desert sky. The best part is the private format, which lets you set the pace with your driver rather than follow a large bus.
I like the north-to-south route because it gives you a clear sense of Jordan’s changing scenery and history. I also like the practical package: airport pickup, private air-conditioned transport, five nights of lodging, a Petra guide, and a Wadi Rum jeep safari are all arranged for you. The tradeoff is road time. You cover roughly 620 miles according to one past itinerary, so several days feel busy rather than leisurely.
Key Points
- Petra receives six hours, including a three-hour local guide, giving you more than a quick photo stop.
- Wadi Rum includes a jeep safari, with time planned around the desert sunset.
- The private vehicle keeps the route flexible, with an English-speaking driver and WiFi on board.
- Northern Jordan is not skipped, with both Ajloun Castle and the Roman ruins of Jerash included.
- The Dead Sea includes an overnight stay, rather than only a brief roadside visit.
- The $1,304.99 price includes major touring costs, but the Jordan Pass and driver’s tip require separate budgeting.
A Six-Day Jordan Route With Big Sights Every Day

This is a point-to-point tour that begins at Queen Alia International Airport and moves steadily south. You sleep in Amman, the Dead Sea area, Petra, and Wadi Rum before returning toward the airport on the final day.
That route works well if you want the main sights without arranging several hotels, taxis, guides, and transfers yourself. You get a private car, an English-speaking driver, and a plan that joins sites that are awkward to connect by public transport.
The pace is the main thing to understand before booking. This is not a slow holiday based in one town. It is a sightseeing trip with several long drives, but the payoff is a broad look at Jordan in less than a week.

Day One: A Simple Arrival in Amman

Your representative meets you after customs at Queen Alia Airport with a sign bearing your name. The transfer to your Amman hotel takes about 30 minutes, followed by check-in and an overnight stay.
This first day is intentionally light. That is useful after a flight, especially because the following days contain several major archaeological sites. You should not expect a full Amman sightseeing program on arrival day. The value here is the smooth handoff from airport to hotel.
Because pickup is included, you do not need to arrange a separate airport taxi. Confirmation is provided at booking, and the tour is private, so the vehicle is reserved for your group rather than shared with strangers.
Day Two: Ajloun Castle and the Roman Streets of Jerash

The northern route starts with Ajloun Castle, an Ayyubid fortress built to help counter Crusader forces eight centuries ago. You have about an hour here, enough to see the major structure and appreciate its position above the surrounding hills.
Ajloun adds an important medieval chapter to a trip otherwise dominated by Roman, biblical, and Nabataean sites. The nearby Ajlun-Dibbine area is known for pine forests and greener scenery, particularly in spring. If you enjoy getting beyond major cities, this stop gives the day a welcome change of mood.
The visit then moves to Jerash for about three hours. This is one of Jordan’s major archaeological sites, with a broad Roman-era complex shaped by both Greco-Roman and local influences. The Arch of Hadrian, Temple of Artemis, Temple of Zeus, colonnaded streets, and open plazas provide plenty to see.
Three hours is a sensible amount of time for Jerash. You can walk through the ruins without reducing the visit to a rushed stop, though the site is spread out and involves walking over uneven ground. Comfortable shoes and sun protection make a real difference.
Jerash is especially appealing if you like cities you can read as you walk. Columns, gateways, temples, and public spaces show how a Roman provincial city was organized. The Jerash Festival of Culture and Arts is also held there during the summer, although this tour description does not promise festival tickets or dates, so check before you travel if that event matters to you.
Your driver is a key part of this day. Past guests have specifically praised drivers named Emad, Mohammad, and Ahmad for their friendly manner, cultural explanations, route suggestions, and help with photographs. Driver assignments can vary, but the pattern to expect is a driver who does more than simply operate the car.
Day Three: Madaba Mosaics, Mount Nebo, and the Baptism Site

Madaba is known as Jordan’s City of Mosaics, and the half-hour visit to St. George’s Greek Orthodox Church focuses on one of the town’s best-known religious and artistic connections. The church is associated with Byzantine and Umayyad mosaic work, making this a compact but worthwhile stop.
Thirty minutes is short. You will get an introduction rather than a detailed study of Madaba’s art. If mosaics are a main interest, you may wish the schedule allowed more time, but the tight visit helps make room for the other stops.
Next comes Mount Nebo, a sacred mountain rising to almost 1,000 meters. The visit lasts about an hour. From the top, clear weather may allow views toward the Dead Sea, Bethlehem, and Jerusalem. The appeal is both religious and visual: this is a place where the geography of the Jordan Valley helps explain biblical stories.
Do not treat the distant views as guaranteed. Haze can limit what you see, and the experience depends on conditions that day. Even with reduced visibility, the mountaintop setting gives the route a useful pause between Madaba and the Jordan Valley.
The Baptism Site of Jesus Christ, also called Al-Maghtas, receives about two hours. It is a significant religious site on the Jordan River and one of the more distinctive stops on the tour. The schedule then sends you to the Dead Sea area for the night.
The day combines several short visits, so it can feel full. That is a good match for you if you want variety and a broad introduction to Jordan’s religious heritage. It may feel too hurried if you prefer to sit for long periods in each place.

The Dead Sea: A Night Beside Jordan’s Salt Lake
The Dead Sea is not a standard beach destination. Its extremely salty water is famous for making it possible to float with little effort, and the lake sits in the Jordan Rift Valley between Jordan and the area west of the lake.
The tour allows an overnight stay in the Dead Sea region, with the listed stop lasting 18 hours. That gives you more than a quick dip between other attractions. You can use the overnight to rest after a long sightseeing day and enjoy the setting at a slower pace.
The tour information does not specify a particular Dead Sea hotel, spa treatment, or private beach arrangement. Do not assume those extras are included. What is clear is that accommodation in the region is part of the five-night plan, while personal expenses remain your responsibility.
Dinner is included, along with five breakfasts across the trip. Other meals are not clearly listed as included, so you should budget for lunches and any additional dinners beyond the included dinner.
Day Four: Six Hours Inside Petra
Petra is the centerpiece of the tour, and six hours is a strong allocation. The ancient Nabataean city is reached through a dramatic approach between rock walls before opening onto its famous carved architecture. The site is large, and a meaningful visit requires more than a brief stop at the Treasury.
A local guide at Petra is included for three hours. That matters because the remains are spread across a wide area, and a guide can give structure to what might otherwise feel like a long walk among disconnected ruins. After the guided portion, you have time to continue at your own pace within the six-hour visit.
The exact route inside Petra can vary, and the supplied details do not promise particular side trails or monuments beyond the general Petra visit. Still, six hours gives you room to see the principal area and make your own choices about how far to continue.
Prepare for walking on uneven surfaces and for a day that may feel physically demanding. The tour states that most people can participate, but it does not provide a detailed accessibility assessment. If you have mobility concerns, ask the provider for current advice before paying.
The private setup is especially useful at Petra. You can discuss timing with your driver, and the local guide handles the main explanation while your driver remains responsible for transport. Past accounts praise the Petra team, the guides, and the drivers for being attentive and helpful, but guide names are not provided for this stop.
Day Five: Wadi Rum and the Moon Valley Sunset
After Petra, the route heads to Wadi Rum Protected Area, often called the Moon Valley. This is Jordan at its most open and dramatic, with broad desert views and huge rock formations rather than colonnades or carved city walls.
A jeep safari is included. That is an important distinction from a simple vehicle transfer into the desert. A safari lets you see more of Wadi Rum’s open spaces and makes the desert a proper part of the trip rather than a quick viewpoint.
The schedule lists 16 hours in Wadi Rum, suggesting an overnight desert stay. The accommodation is described in the tour information as a Wadi Rum camp, but the camp’s exact room style and facilities are not specified. Ask what type of tent, bathroom arrangement, and heating or cooling are provided if those details affect your comfort.
The sunset is a major reason to stay. Desert light changes quickly, and the open horizon gives you a clear sense of distance. The experience is less about checking off a single monument and more about having time in a very different setting after Petra’s enclosed stone corridors.
WiFi is listed on board the vehicle, not necessarily at the desert camp. Bottled water is included, which is useful on long drives and in the dry climate. You should still plan for personal items and any camp extras, since personal expenses are excluded.
Day Six: A Long Return to the Airport

The final transfer takes about three and a half hours and reaches the airport by evening. There is no sightseeing stop listed for this day, which is sensible after Wadi Rum and helps keep the airport transfer straightforward.
When booking flights, allow plenty of breathing room around the stated arrival time. The tour gives an approximate schedule, and road conditions or delays can change the timing. The provider should confirm the final transfer details, especially if your flight leaves earlier than expected.
What the $1,304.99 Price Really Covers
At $1,304.99 per person, this is not a bare-bones transport package. The price includes private transportation, an air-conditioned vehicle, an English-speaking driver, WiFi on board, bottled water, accommodation for five nights, five breakfasts, dinner, entrance fees to sites not covered by the Jordan Pass, the three-hour Petra guide, and the Wadi Rum jeep safari.
That package can offer solid value for you if you would otherwise pay separately for hotels, a driver, Petra guiding, desert transport, and airport transfers. The private vehicle also has real value for couples, families, or a small group that wants to travel together without sharing a timetable.
There is one important pricing wrinkle. The tour information says the Jordan Pass must be purchased before travel and costs 78 JOD, while also stating that entrance fees to sites not included in the Jordan Pass are covered. Treat the pass as a separate required cost unless the provider tells you otherwise. Confirm which admission fees are handled by the pass and which are paid directly.
Tips for the driver are not included. Personal expenses, unspecified meals, and anything else not listed also sit outside the headline price. Group discounts may be available, so larger private groups should ask for the current rate rather than assume the per-person price is fixed.
The Private Driver Makes the Difference
This tour is best understood as a private road trip with arranged sightseeing. Your driver connects the sites, explains Jordanian culture and borders along the way, suggests activities, and helps you make the most of limited time.
Past itineraries have singled out Emad and Mohammad for being attentive, friendly, and helpful with photographs. Ahmad has also been praised as a trusted companion during the journey. These names indicate the kind of service you might receive, but the assigned driver is not guaranteed in advance from the information provided.
A private driver also lets you stop for small moments that a large coach schedule might miss. One past itinerary included a stop for seasonal fruit. That sort of pause is minor, but it can make a long transfer feel more connected to everyday Jordan.
The practical downside is that your enjoyment depends partly on the driver assigned to your departure. The available accounts are very positive, but ask who will drive you, how often you can request stops, and what vehicle size is planned for your group.
Who Will Like This Tour Most
I would choose this trip if you want Jordan’s headline sights in one organized package and prefer not to manage hotels, guides, and long-distance transfers yourself. It suits first-time visitors, couples, families, and small groups that value privacy.
It is also a good fit if you want variety. In six days, you move from Roman ruins and medieval fortifications to Christian pilgrimage sites, a salt lake, a Nabataean city, and a desert reserve.
I would hesitate if your ideal holiday means sleeping late, lingering in one town, or spending several days at the Dead Sea. The route is efficient, but it is not leisurely. You also need to be comfortable with long drives and substantial walking at Jerash and Petra.
The booking terms are worth noting. You can receive a full refund if you cancel at least six full days before the local start time. Cancellation two to six days ahead receives 50 percent, while cancellation within two days receives no refund.
Should You Book This Jordan Tour?
Book it if you want a private, well-connected route that covers northern Jordan, Petra, and Wadi Rum without building the trip yourself. The strongest features are the six-hour Petra visit, three-hour Petra guide, included desert jeep safari, Dead Sea overnight, and driver-led flexibility.
Before booking, confirm the hotel names, the Wadi Rum camp setup, the assigned driver, the exact treatment of the 78 JOD Jordan Pass, and which meals are included beyond the listed breakfast and dinner. If you are happy with a busy schedule and long road days, this is a practical way to see a remarkable amount of Jordan in six days.
