Overview

The Golden Triangle consists of Aqaba, Petra, and Wadi Rum.

If you are in Aqaba and looking for a 3 days tour, then this is your best option. We start from Aqaba for an exciting day visiting the oldest Crusader castle in Jordan, the Shobak Castle. After that, you will explore Little Petra and get a feeling of the old Nabatean cities. This night you will stay in an exceptional Bedouin Camp owned and managed by one of the oldest families from the area that supports the local community. The camp is surrounded by magical long mountains and at night, the sky will be glowing with stars.

In the morning, you will be taken to Petra for a day to remember exploring the historical Nabatean Site and its wonders. In the afternoon, you will be transferred to Wadi Rum and taken into the deepest desert for a 2 hours Jeep tour ending up at your Bedouin camp for an overnight stay.

On the third day, you will have the option to chill in the desert or select an activity for the day before returning to Aqaba by noon.

If you have more or less days in Jordan, you can create your own trip and indicate the starting point as Aqaba.

Please indicate in the special requirements field which activity you prefer for the last day in Wadi Rum in order to present you with an exact quotation.

Day 1

7:00 am

Pick up from Aqaba

Your driver will pick you up from your location in Aqaba to start your adventure into the Golden Triangle.

 

10:00 am

Visit Shobak Castle - Montreal

Set atop a mountain, Shobak Castle is an enchanting castle that was built in 1115 under the rule of King Baldwin.

It is particularly striking due to its remote location in the desert which will make visitors feel a world away from home. Within the castle grounds, visitors can explore the churches, historic ruins, and a secret passageway that leads to a charming spring. The castle also boasts a watchtower, catacombs and a number of Christian carvings and Islamic tablets.

12:00 pm

Visit Little Petra

It is thought to have been occupied from 7200BC to 6500BC, which makes it one of the first settled villages in human history. Around that time the settlement burned down, and was rebuild. After its reconstruction, it was only inhabited for a short while, before being totally abandoned.

3:00 pm

Overnight in Little Petra

Stay at one of our recommended camps in Little Petra.

A hidden gem and a great place to stay and meet the local Bedouins and try their food.

Day 2

8:00 am

Visit Petra

The city of Petra, capital of the Nabataean Arabs, is one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world.

It is not known precisely when Petra was built, but the city began to prosper as the capital of the Nabataean Empire from the 1st century BC, which grew rich through trade in frankincense, myrrh, and spices.

Petra was later annexed to the Roman Empire and continued to thrive until a large earthquake in 363 AD destroyed much of the city in the 4th century AD.
The earthquake combined with changes in trade routes, eventually led to the downfall of the city which was ultimately abandoned.

Wear comfortable shoes and a hat to protect your head from the sun, and carry plenty of drinking water.

1:00 pm

Lunch (Recommended Place to Eat)

After a long morning of excitement, a good meal is needed. Our method of work is that we do not include meals in tours when there are options to choose from.

Introduction into Bedouin heritage Cuisine

You will participate in preparation for the traditional bedouin dinner “Zarb”.

It is a traditional Bedouin underground oven used by nomadic herding peoples in the Arabian Peninsula. Much like a barbeque, the methods start by digging a hole in the soft sand. Then cook down wood to coals, place the food over the coal and cover the hole with sand.

The bedouin chef will be telling you about the practices and techniques used to make the best Zarb.
