Tips

If you have extra time, consider adding a day in the north to explore the pristine landscapes of Umm Qais and the historic town of Irbid. For a shorter trip, you can combine Day 5 and Day 6 by flying out of Aqaba after the Wadi Rum desert experience, skipping the beach day while still enjoying the desert’s unforgettable sunset.
