Travel into the heart of the Wadi Rum desert, a seemingly endless expanse of colourful rocks and desert. Journeying on camels, make your way across this remarkable landscape to an authentic Bedouin camp, where you will be welcomed for a unique lunch experience by friendly Bedouin locals. Learn the secrets of the local Bedouin who forge a living between the harsh rock and sand.

Waking early, take to the skies for a sunrise hot air balloon flight. Rising with the sun, you will gain a new perspective on the vast landscape which stretches ceaselessly out below you. Landing in a secluded spot, you will be greeted by a fresh breakfast spread, overlooking the sandstone mountains of Wadi Rum. Spend the afternoon hiking and climbing in the Valley of the Moon, a landscape which holds a mystical otherworldly aura. By night, relax around a bonfire dinner whilst you are surrounded by a show of traditional music and dancing creating an enchanting and mystical atmosphere.

Leaving Wadi Rum behind, it is time to visit the renowned Rose City, the ancient city of Petra. Spend the day exploring this incredible wonder of the world, learning about the intricate history and complex structures. As evening falls, you will visit the Lost City of Little Petra at night.

Reaching the striking Nabatean monument, you will find your dining table set up in this surreal and exclusive location.
