Joyful Roads: Dead sea - Petra (opens in a new tab)

1 min – 3 days

In Jordan we have a saying: "You are around my neck." This means I take full responsibility and care for my guests. Foreigners in Jordan are one of our most important values. I love to make sure you have an affordable, fun, interesting journey and my entire business is dedicated to this. I keep my car in the best maintenance and cleanliness for your comfort and safety. I can simply take you from where you are staying at the Dead Sea to your destination in Aqaba (or vice versa), or we can plan to see another attraction, or embark on a multi-day adventure to see the beauty of Jordan. Making your stay in Jordan the best is my desire.

Petra Guided Trails ( Little Petra via Siq al-Barid ) (opens in a new tab)

1 1 h 20 min – 2 h

Little Petra , Petra’s northern suburb of Siq al-Barid, 9km north of Wadi Musa town, is often touted to tourists as “Little Petra” – which, with its short, high gorge and familiar carved facades, isn’t far wrong. However, although it sees its share of tour buses, the place retains an atmosphere and a stillness that have largely disappeared from the central areas of Petra. Adding in its location in gorgeous countryside and its proximity to Beidha (a rather less inspiring Neolithic village), it’s well worth half a day of your time. The route to Little Petra follows the road north from the Mövenpick hotel. A short way along, where the road curves left, you can park on the shoulder for one of Petra’s best views, a breathtaking sweep over the central valley of the ancient city, with many of the monuments in view, dwarfed by the mountains.
