    After breakfast and a chance to meet your fellow adventurers, it's time for your briefing. Head south to Dana Nature Reserve, one of Jordan’s often-overlooked gems. Today you’ll be hiking the Shaq Al Reesh trail (or similar). This circular trail traverses from Al-Barrah, through a breathtaking siq, to Shaq al Reesh. After your hike, time permitting, you’ll continue south towards Shobak Castle for a panoramic tour. Pull out your camera and take a few great shots, as the castle is perched on the side of a rocky, conical mountain, looking out over fruit trees below on the way to Petra. Memories captured, you’ll then head to your first Bedouin camp experience of this adventure.

Continue via a Nabataean route that skirts the final mountain on a natural rock terrace. You'll soon reach a hidden plateau high above the impressive chasm of Wadi Siyyagh. The monastery suddenly comes into view as you follow the steps down to ancient Petra, where you'll have time to soak it all in and learn about its ancient past.

Hike up to the summit, from which the panorama is spectacular – to the south, you can see the border to Saudi Arabia and to the north, Jebel Rum. You'll descend to a remote Bedouin camp to relax and marvel at the stars in the clear desert night.

Hop back in the van and leave Wadi Rum for the coast, reaching Aqaba in the early afternoon for a well-deserved dip in the Red Sea.

Detailed Logistics

Transfers

Arrival transfers from Amman airport to the hotel in Madaba are included for any time you choose to arrive on Day 1 or Day 2 of the tour (some flights arrive after midnight so fall in the early hours of Day 2). Departure transfers from the final hotel to Amman airport are included for any time you choose to depart on Day 8. If you need a transfer on other days then your host can arrange a private transfer for you, at an additional cost. See the Optional Extras section for prices.

Travel options

There are frequent flights to Amman from airports in the UK and Europe. Choose any flight to arrive on Day 1 and depart on Day 8 - or extend your stay if you wish. Some flights arrive shortly after midnight - if you arrive in Amman in the early hours of Day 2 then your room will be ready and waiting for you, but if your flight arrives in the early hours of Day 1, you will need to book an extra night's accommodation before the tour as rooms are not usually available for check-in until the mid-afternoon. Your host can arrange an additional night of accommodation, subject to availability. See the Optional Extras section for prices.

Trip level explained

Level 3

Moderate

A moderate level of fitness is needed to enjoy this trip. You won’t need to be super fit, but you should be in good shape and feel comfortable hiking up to 6 hours a day on often uneven ground. What’s more important is being comfortable with heights. There will be a few exposed sections, so those with vertigo may not be too comfortable. Your guide will never be far away to help you get through it, though. You won't need any snorkelling experience as full guidance is provided, and you are welcome to do as much or as little snorkelling as you like - the rest of the time you can simply chill on deck or on the beach.

What will I need to carry?

You'll only need to carry a small day rucksack with personal items, snacks and water during each day of activity. Your main luggage will be transported for you.

Climate Factors To Consider

This trip visits locations where daytime temperatures can be extremely high during the times of year when this trip operates. High humidity and limited access to shade can also be factors, and warm temperatures can continue into the nighttime, which additionally influence the body’s ability to cool down. Personal care should be taken to keep as cool as possible in the conditions, such as wearing appropriate clothing and proper hydration. Very high temperatures can impair an individual’s physical abilities to perform an activity that they may otherwise be able to do competently at cooler temperatures. People may experience symptoms associated with dehydration and Heat Stroke (opens in new tab). Your guide(s) are trained to mitigate the risks associated with high temperatures, by carefully managing the intensity of the activity, and to provide the appropriate support response should someone feel ill during the trip. Should you experience health issues during your trip you should inform your guide immediately so the proper care can be provided.

Remote environment: factors to consider

Some parts of this trip take place in areas where access to medical facilities and emergency services may be limited. This may mean that reaching medical care takes longer than you might normally expect, or that local medical facilities have fewer resources than those you may be used to at home.

If someone becomes unwell or injured, initial treatment may be provided locally before onward travel to a larger hospital or city for further care. Evacuation could involve changing the planned route or using different forms of transport to reach appropriate medical facilities. Mobile phone coverage may also be intermittent in some locations.

Your guide is trained to manage situations in remote environments and will monitor the group and respond appropriately if any issues arise. However, it’s important that you let your guide know straight away if you feel unwell or experience any health concerns during the trip.

Before booking, consider your personal health and ability to travel in locations where access to medical care may be delayed. If you have any pre-existing medical conditions or concerns, we recommend seeking advice from a medical professional and discussing them with your host before travelling.

All travellers must have suitable travel insurance that covers the activities included in the trip and emergency medical evacuation if required.

    I joined the trip in December and I had a wonderful experience. Our guide Ahlam was very knowledgeable and took good care of our group. The trip itself has a good mix of activities. There were even some extra experiences you could book e. g. camel ride in Wadi Rum. The hikes aren´t very strenuous however it involves some scrambling. Therefore if you do not have any issues with scrambling the hikes are an easy level. Food was plentiful and very tasty. The accommodation was always good, be aware that it gets much colder ones the sun goes down, so layers are good. I had time to add some days in Amman after trip and I would recommend doing so as you won´t have much time exploring the city and surroundings on the last day. All in all I recommend booking this trip.

  • Shelley L.

    I cannot recommend this beautiful country enough. From the moment I arrived, it was clear that Jordan is an incredibly safe, friendly, and welcoming place. The local hospitality is unmatched! Our itinerary was perfectly planned and completely stress-free. It offered a fantastic balance, highlighting Jordan’s "Wonder of the World" (Petra), the breathtaking desert landscapes of Wadi Rum, Bedouin-inspired glamping, and even some great water activities. A massive highlight was the food, especially the dinner at our Wadi Rum camp. They cooked the meal underground (traditional Zarb), and the variety of dishes was so delicious. I wish I could have packed some to take home! What truly made this trip unforgettable was our guide, Ahlam. She is a wealth of knowledge regarding history and culture and answered every question with ease. Her optimistic, cheery personality made her a joy to be around, and it was evident how much she cares about her work and the people around her. She is a truly excellent representative of Jordanian culture. Thank you to Ahlam and all the locals who made us feel so at home. This was an experience I will never forget. Side note: One of the earlier reviewers of this trip left a very comprehensive checklist and clear picture of what to expect. I found it helpfully accurate and would recommend reading it beforehand as well.

    This was an adventure of wonderment and discovery from start to finish, with the best guide, the best food, and the best people. Best fun I've had in years.

  • Holly B.

    Jordan is a truly special place. There are so many extraordinary parts to this trip that will stay with me. A trip that takes you through different landscapes seeped in a history that we’ve all learnt, read and heard about since we were small. From floating in the misty Dead Sea to rolling down sand dunes in the desert, Jordan is magical. I’ll never forget sitting together under the light of the moon in Wadi Rum around the fire. The people of Jordan made my trip unforgettable. They are endlessly kind, generous, and welcoming. Shouts of “Welcome to Jordan!” follow you wherever you go. Jordanians are incredibly proud of their country, and rightly so. For centuries, they have made visitors feel welcome, and that hasn’t changed today. Our guide, Ahlem, was also truly special. As one of only five female adventure guides in Jordan, I felt incredibly lucky to have her. From the start, it was clear that Ahlem is an experienced guide: endlessly calm, patient, and supportive. She was kind, thoughtful, and always laughing! She gave us real insight into Jordan’s history and what it is like to live there today. But what is truly special about Ahlem is is how everywhere we went, people knew her and looked forward to her visits. She made the friends she has in the places we stayed or walked feel like our friends too. To me, that was a truly special quality—one I will always remember. I am not a foodie, but Jordanian food is INCREDIBLE. Everything tastes amazing. Be prepared to eat yourself silly. Even two weeks later, I still cannot bring myself to eat hummus in the UK again! If you are thinking about this trip, GO! Go see Jordan for yourself and go now! It is a country that is important to everybody’s history and also our understanding of the world right now.

  • David W.

    We crammed loads in from scaling Jordan’s highest peak to caking ourselves in mud at the lowest point on Earth. Not to mention Petra, Wadi Rum, camel rides and snorkelling / diving with a boat to ourselves for the day. Our guide Ahlam was great, and saw us right throughout the trip making sure everyone was included and was flexible throughout. No mean feat given the first half of the week especially is full on, covering a lot of ground with little down time. If you like a lie in, then this trip isn’t for you. There’s a lot going on in the region currently, but I can’t stress enough how safe we felt in Jordan throughout our time there (day and night) - everyone we crossed paths with couldn’t have been more friendly and welcoming. Don’t overthink this one, just book it and thank yourself afterwards. (Side note for coeliacs / GF - take your own pittas / tortillas, and pack snacks as well. Whilst everywhere we ate was accommodating, bread is a big part of the diet and GF equivalents generally aren’t as easy to source, especially in the more remote locations in the itinerary).

  • Elizabeth C.

    A great trip - good job we were advised to bring warm clothes as the desert in December is very cold! A mix of hotels and desert camping. Petra and wadi rum fascinating. Quite a lot of driving to get to locations - would have liked more hiking in the desert and less time in towns. Our guide was very informative and made our group a happy group!

  • Adam C.

    Overall a great adventure and way to see the best highlights of Jordan in a week - Cana Nature Reserve, Petra, Wadi Rum, Aqaba and the Dead Sea! We were lucky to have a wonderful guide for the week (Ahlam) who's passion, knowledge and thoughtfulness was a delight. She also introduced us the the local tasty cuisine with very generous portions! Wouldn't hesitate in recommending this fab trip!

  • Joe M.

    It was a really fun and very well organised week. We packed in so much in a relatively short space of time. Be prepared for a lot of physical activity the first half of the trip, there’s very little down time until nearer the end but it’s worth the effort too see this amazing country. Make sure to bring warm clothes for the desert as it gets very cold at night and on the back of the truck. Maybe even a hot water bottle for the desert camp. Layers are your friend! Also bring a little bottle of alcohol to the desert if you want a drink by the fire in the evening. You will definitely not go hungry on this trip. There’s so much food but pack snacks for the in between times just in case. There didn’t seem to be any problem accommodating dietary requirements. Ahlam our tour guide was the best. She made sure everything ran on time, we were looked after and everyone was included. Nothing was too much trouble for her. Overall this is a really great way to see Jordan. The people are so warm and friendly. We found it very safe and everyone appreciated us coming to support the local economy. If you’re on the fence just book this trip. You won’t regret it.

  • Alison M.

    Absolutely fantastic trip great mix of hiking, sightseeing and snorkelling in an amazing country. Very well organised and our guide Ahlam amazing, so knowledgeable, nothing too much trouble and above all don’t think I have laughed as much for ages very sad it had to end

  • Caroline F.

    Had the best time. The trip surpassed all expectations. The walk through the back door to Petra was breathtaking, aided by the best freshly squeezed pomegranate juice I’ve ever tasted with a view to match. And wadi rum was something else - like being on another planet. It was all made super special by our guide Ahlam, who was so warm, friendly and fun and really knowledgeable. Do not hesitate to book this trip. It has a bit of everything and will leave you with lifetime memories 😎

She made sure everything ran on time, we were looked after and everyone was included. Nothing was too much trouble for her. Overall this is a really great way to see Jordan. The people are so warm and friendly. We found it very safe and everyone appreciated us coming to support the local economy. If you’re on the fence just book this trip. You won’t regret it.

  • Absolutely fantastic trip great mix

    Alison M. December 2025
    Absolutely fantastic trip great mix of hiking, sightseeing and snorkelling in an amazing country. Very well organised and our guide Ahlam amazing, so knowledgeable, nothing too much trouble and above all don’t think I have laughed as much for ages very sad it had to end

  • The most amazing trip

    Caroline F. December 2025
    Had the best time. The trip surpassed all expectations. The walk through the back door to Petra was breathtaking, aided by the best freshly squeezed pomegranate juice I’ve ever tasted with a view to match. And wadi rum was something else - like being on another planet. It was all made super special by our guide Ahlam, who was so warm, friendly and fun and really knowledgeable. Do not hesitate to book this trip. It has a bit of everything and will leave you with lifetime memories 😎

  • Memories for life!

    Bernadette C. November 2025
    What a week!! This trip exceeded every expectation, and I cannot recommend it enough. Everything was so well organised, and the itinerary just kept delivering one incredible experience after another. Lots of credit to Furat, our guide—always so positive, knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely dedicated to making sure we were taken care of. And most importantly… he always made sure we were well fed! 🙂 An unforgettable trip from start to finish.

  • It was amazing trip. . well planned

    Archana A. November 2025
    It was amazing trip. . well planned and organised. Would love to travel again

  • A Massive Thank You for the Truly Incredible Jordan Trip!

    Anamika G. November 2025
    It was truly an incredible, flawlessly organized adventure! ​A special acknowledgment must go to our local team, especially our guide Furat and driver Mahomad. Their professionalism, and knowledge of the country made the logistics feel seamless and Furat's love for the country really brought the history of Jordan to life. ​The highlights for me was Watching the sun set and rise over the dunes in Wadi Rum. The sheer scale and beauty of Petra, especially the view we got after the hike, comfortable accommodation and friendly hosts, and taste of local food. ​Every detail, from the transportation to the thoughtfully chosen itinerary, was perfectly executed. Thank you for delivering a truly much better adventure. I can't wait to book my next trip with you!

  • An amazing trip!

    Heather L. November 2025
    This was one of the best trips I’ve been on, the activities were so varied and packed it felt like I was on holiday for a lot longer than a week! Our guide Furat was brilliant; organised, fun, and full of energy. The group were all lovely and such interesting people. Petra and Wadi Rum were spectacular and the chance to snorkel as a beginner was great. The accommodation was high quality throughout and the food was plentiful and tasty. I couldn’t recommend this trip enough and hope I’ll be back in Jordan in the future!

  • Amazing, go for it!

    Rob M. November 2025
    This was an awe-inspiring adventure, organised incredibly well between the local guide, driver and hosts. Activities were not too strenuous but a few fun scrambles here and there on the hikes, and a few activity upgrades/additions on offer that were well worth taking! The tour moves at quite a nice pace with the last few days being a bit more laid-back. Food was also great (a lot of hummus!). Mostly delicious local/national dishes but some restaurants also offer more 'familiar' food (steak, fish&chips etc) if that's more your thing - just ask your guide! One of our hotels got changed last-minute based on previous groups' feedback. Didn't see the original hotel but the replacement was very nice. It's reassuring to see MBA and the local team adapt quickly like that. Zero complaints. Loved it!

  • Amazing Trip

    Andrea T. November 2025
    This was a fantastic trip, it far exceeded my expectations and I have created some wonderful memories. Furat, our guide was outstanding, nothing was too much trouble for him and we had bonus activities, like lunch in a family home and camel riding in the desert to watch sunrise. Star gazing in Wadi Rum was also very special. Food and accommodation were both excellent

  • Book this trip!

    Kaitlin T. November 2025
    An amazing adventure in the most incredible country. From start to finish everything was seamlessly organised and the trip itinerary is perfectly planned – every day was packed with new landscapes, cultural experiences and a sense of adventure. I don’t think there are many other trips which will have you on a camel ride at sunrise, exploring desert canyons, scaling sand dunes and scuba diving in the red sea by sunset all within one day! A definite highlight of this trip was the time spent in Wadi Rum – the landscape is like nothing else I’ve ever experienced and watching the sunset and stargazing from the overnight stay in the Bedouin camp felt magical and is something I’ll never forget. Another standout of this trip is the people. The hospitality and warmth of the Jordanian culture is unmatched and we were made to feel welcomed and at home in every place we visited. Our guide, Furat, really made the trip, he kept us laughing the whole time and his knowledge and passion for the country and history is incredible. He made sure thar our trip ran effortlessly, alongside our driver, Ahmad, and local guides in Dana and Wadi Rum. I feel very lucky to have spent my time in Jordan in such great company, alongside a great group of like-minded travellers. A big shout out to Furat and my other adventurers for making this trip so unforgettable! Add Jordan to your travel list and book this trip!

  • Memories for life

    Olga S. November 2025
    This has definitely been one of the best travel experiences I've had! Jordan is a country that keeps on giving: abundant food, mesemerising nature, breathtaking trails, welcoming people, hospitality, activities for everyone, clean and comfortable accommodation and many more. What made this trip so unique was the itinerary, a very good mixture of activities (hiking, desert trucks, camel rides, snorkeling, scuba diving, beach fun) and downtime (sunsets, stargazing, beach club). The trip wouldn't have been the same without the people I travelled with. We were a diverse group who gelled together in no time, bringing lots of fun, laughs, but also a lot of support and encouragement to try new things. A special mention is due to our guide Furat, he made this trip one for the books. His undeniable love for his country was evident every time he spoke about it. Top tier organisational skills, unlimited patience and a backpack full of snacks to share with everyone. What more could you ask for? There is not one thing I could fault, except for having to go back home at the end of it. I would do it again in a heartbeat!

  • Trip of a lifetime

    Andrew S. November 2025
    Cannot recommend this trip enough! It definitely lives up to the reviews! Furat the main guide was amazing, really nice guy, every recommendation he made was great, every trip well planned. Cannot wait to return one day and book my next trip also!

  • Seven days through the wonders of Jordan

    Nikolaos P. November 2025
    An exotic journey packed with images, emotions, and experiences in a country so different from what we are used to. In just one week, we managed to see the greatest highlights of this welcoming and beautiful land: the otherworldly calm of the desert, the unique wonder of Petra, the surreal Dead Sea, and the Red Sea with its incredible marine life visible even just a few metres from shore. Add to that plenty of delicious food, and you already have the recipe for a trip of a lifetime. But what truly made this experience unforgettable was our guide, Furat: an absolute phenomenon. He took care of every detail, watched over us constantly, and made sure we had the best tips even for the free hours when some of us explored on our own. He gave us insights into Jordanian life, culture, and everyday reality, helping us understand and appreciate the country far beyond the typical tourist experience. By the end of the trip, we all felt we were travelling not just with a guide, but with a good friend who was proudly showing us the beauty of his country. I feel blessed to have experienced such a truly memorable journey, and it is one I would recommend without hesitation.

  • The Adventure of a Lifetime in Beautiful Jordan

    Simon J. November 2025
    My trip to Jordan was better than anything I could have imagined. It’s a stunning country with beautiful food, warm people, and an itinerary crafted to perfection. Somehow, every single day offered a completely different adventure. The food throughout the week was varied and absolutely delicious. My personal favourite was the Musakhan — homemade by a charming Jordanian family who welcomed us into their home for lunch. It was one of those meals you never forget. The standout highlight was the breathtaking walk through desert and mountains before Petra revealed itself in the distance — an unforgettable moment. But my personal favourite day was waking up in the Wadi Rum desert, taking a camel ride to watch the sunrise, and then ending the day scuba diving and watching the sunset on a Red Sea beach. You can’t ask for more from a single day! Furat was an incredible and patient host, enhancing every experience with his knowledge, humour, and calm encouragement. Every guide and host we met was a credit to the company, and a special shout-out to our driver Ahmed, who was always there on time and ready to take us to the next adventure. I felt absolutely spoilt for a whole week — not just by Jordan itself, but by the fantastic, diverse group of like-minded travellers. We started as strangers and left as friends. As someone who isn’t particularly fit, I found some parts of the hiking challenging, but with motivation from Furat, support from the group, and the inspiring views around every corner, every step was worth it. The sense of achievement is huge. And if you’ve never scuba dived before, don’t let that stop you — I hadn’t either! You can do test dives with professional, reassuring instructors who look after you the entire time. The coral and sea life beneath the Red Sea is incredible, and I highly recommend giving it a go. I can’t encourage anyone enough to book this tour. You’ll come home with memories that will last a lifetime. I already can’t wait to plan my next adventure.

  • Fantastic experience

    Carsten S. November 2025
    We had a fantastic time in beautiful Jordan. Everything was perfectly organised. Furad was the perfect host to this trip. He and the local guides made every day a great adventure.

  • What an experience!!

    Harriet P. October 2025
    If anyone is wondering whether this trip is for them, book it as you’ll love it! Jordan is a stunning country and during the week we were shown the very best of it. Mahmood is a lovely, knowledgeable guide and worked really hard to make it such a success. The food was absolutely delicious, the scenery stunning, Petra was breathtaking, hiking the highest peak was incredible, the local guides were great, sunrise, sunsets and stars beautiful, amazing coral and fish snorkelling and the Dead Sea great fun. A great group of people on the trip, ranging in ages from 30’s to one in their 60’s, all of which made it a really special and memorable experience.

  • Absolutely incredible trip! 🇯🇴

    Elaine V. October 2025
    Everything about this trip exceeded my expectations. I absolutely loved exploring Petra, with its fascinating history and stunning hikes. The snorkelling was fantastic too, such an amazing way to experience another side of Jordan. Our guide Mahmood, was exceptional. He’s clearly passionate about his country, incredibly knowledgeable about Jordan’s history, and was always attentive, ensuring everyone was comfortable and well-fed throughout the trip. We also had a fantastic group, so many laughs, great conversations, and memories that I’ll never forget. It truly made the experience even more special. This was my second MBA experience, and I will most definitely be booking more trips in the future! I would 100% recommend this experience to anyone who loves adventure, hiking, history, and culture. Jordan completely blew me away!

  • There is no better trip in Jordan

    Marisa S. October 2025
    This trip exceeded my expectations in every way. This is by far the best way to see Jordan and hits all of the highlights with a perfect balance of activity and relaxation. The food was incredible and most importantly, Mahmoud was the most incredible guide with all the knowledge and passion for Jordan. He really made the trip special. I’ll never forget it.

  • Fantastic tour of Jordan's highlights.

    Paul H. October 2025
    Fantastic tour of Jordan's highlights. Petra and Wadi Rum exceeded already high expectations. Physical activity is indeed moderate -- not too strenuous, but best to be in at least decent condition for some of the hiking. Our guide Mahmoud took what would have been a baseline very good traveling experience to the next level: knowledgeable about a whole range of interesting topics, passionate about the country, and full of patience, energy, and humor.

  • Amazing Trip

    Jessica N. October 2025
    I had such an amazing trip to Jordan! It wasn’t near as crowded as I expected - we showed up to the back door of Petra and there was hardly anyone there (which was great for photos, of course). I loved Wadi Rum - the landscape is incredible. Riding on the camels for sunrise was also amazing. Red Sea was also fun and I enjoyed the boat ride. The Dead Sea was the icing on the cake for a great week. Truly a bucket list experience!! I have to give a shout out to our guide Ahlem! She truly felt like a friend I’ve known forever. She was fun, well organized, went out of her way to help me find some artisanal gifts I wanted to take back home. If I could change anything about the trip I would choose 2 nights in Wadi Rum and only one at the Red Sea. The Red Sea days felt repetitive and there was much more to see in the desert! Also, I would aim to hike more in the AM and travel to new locations during the hot parts of the day.

  • Great trip!

    Grace W. October 2025
    An amazing experience exploring the incredible landscapes of Jordan. The hike exploring Petra was very cool and the days spent in Wadi Rum were stunning. Ahlam was the perfect guide and did a great job adjusting for certain group members when needed. Thanks!

FAQs

We recommend booking more than 31 days in advance to guarantee your spot on the trip. If requesting to book less than 31 in advance, the host will need to check accommodation availability before accepting your booking (please do not book flights until your booking has been confirmed by the host). Due to high demand in Jordan, if requesting a spot within two weeks of departure, chances are that there won't be any availability – so the sooner you can make plans the better.

Ramadan will take place from around 28th February to 30th March 2025. The national holiday of Eid ul-Fitr will follow for 2-3 days. Ramadan is an Islamic festival where the religious do not eat or drink during daylight hours. While this is a really interesting time to travel, you can expect some business hours will be shortened, alcohol is not permitted during daylight hours and some restaurants will be closed during this festival period. Activities for local people tend to be limited during the day and the nights are very active in cities with lots of different foods being sold and consumed. However in hotel restaurants and tourist areas food and drink are served as normal and Ramadan will not affect the inclusions on your trip. Liquor stores are likely to be closed for the month but in tourist enclaves bars stay open (although some may not allow alcohol outdoors - but inside is generally okay).

Yes. Trips to Jordan have been running as normal since the Israel conflict escalated in October 2023 – check out our latest customer reviews! Much Better Adventures operate trips in line with the British FCDO travel advice and also consult with security advisors, both of whom have confirmed that trips are safe to run. We continue to receive real-time updates from the FCDO and our local host in Jordan will also inform us immediately should anything change locally. In case you have any questions, we have prepared some additional information about travel to Jordan during the Israel Conflict.

For current Government advice about travelling in Jordan, have a read of the FCDO pages here.

Tourists are not allowed to bring drones, binoculars, or some large telephoto camera lenses into Jordan. These will be confiscated at the airport and returned on departure, so please do not risk bringing these on your trip. Even if these are missed by airport security, your guide cannot allow them to be used, as this can have legal consequences if you are caught.

This trip operates in areas where daytime temperatures can reach extreme highs, where limited shade and high humidity can also be a factor. These conditions can affect physical performance and increase the risk of dehydration or heat-related illness. Your guide will adjust the pace and monitor the group closely, but hydration, proper clothing, and sun protection are essential.

Before travelling, consider your ability to be active in high temperatures and consult a medical professional if you have concerns – especially if you have any cardiovascular or heat-sensitive conditions. Arriving a day or two prior to the trip may help you adjust gradually to the heat.

The weather in the summer can get very hot, especially in the desert, with daytime temperatures averaging between 32-36°C. May to October tends to be exclusively sunny, while the nights are cool and balmy. Rain is unlikely but not unheard of, so do be prepared, especially if travelling between November and March.

We partner with the World Land Trust to ensure this trip achieves Net-Zero emissions. We also support their Buy an Acre programme, helping local communities to buy and protect natural habitats in perpetuity.

What's the number?
It works out on average at 444kg of CO2 emissions per person, including all local transport, accommodation, food, activities, guides, staff and office operations.

The only thing it doesn’t include right now is flights and travel to the destination. We do make an overall estimate across all our customers separately, but as we don’t book flights, have customers from all corners of the world, and no way of reliably knowing their travel plans, we simply can’t include an individual number in the figure on display here. We’ve got a goal to fix that, so that when you book, there is a way to measure and mitigate the carbon emitted by your flight too.

But what does the number mean?
Yep, hard to picture eh? To give you an idea:

  • Driving 1000 miles/1609km would be approximately 281kg of CO2 in an average car (or 140.5kg per person, if there were two of you in it).
  • A return economy class flight between London and New York would be approximately 1619kg (1.66 tonnes) per person.
  • 10 trees in a temperate forest are estimated to remove approximately 250kg of CO2 from the air in a period of 5-10 years.

What are we doing about it?
Our trips are relatively low-carbon by design, and we're working with all our hosts to develop long term carbon reduction plans. We partner with the World Land Trust to ensure this trip achieves Net-Zero emissions. We also support their Buy an Acre programme, helping local communities to buy and protect natural habitats in perpetuity, ensuring the protection of the reserve and its wildlife.

Want to know more?
Amazingly, no international travel company has ever publicly published their carbon measurements before, as far as we know. We believe that must change, quickly. So we’re openly sharing the method we used in the hope that other companies will be able to more easily follow suit and build on what we've done so far. You'll find it all here.
