Overland Journeys

An Overland Journey is a very specific type of travel, which originated in Australia. It usually involves traveling for an extended period of time, as well as a distinct focus on travelers involvement with all facets of the trip. On any given day you may be helping cook meals, clean up, or organize an activity. This type of travel is not for everyone - most trips include long stretches over rough, bumpy terrain, and the term “roughing it” definitely applies to the experience. But the community aspect attracts open minded, fun, people and you’re sure to make lasting friends.

Jordan Highlights by World Expeditions
Another wonderful trip with World Expeditions
In addition to the expected highlights of Petra, Wadi Rum, snorkelling in the Red Sea and floating in the Dead Sea, the unexpected delights of visiting a local family at Um Qais (and cooking/dining with them), the expansive Roman ruins at Jerash and our extraordinary driver Firas made this trip wonderful.
The small additional cost of having a representative meet us at the airport and guide us through immigration was well worth it. The process was very quick and smooth.
We would thoroughly recommend this trip.

Jordan Highlights by World Expeditions
Our trip to Jordan was excellent

Despite being a little anxious about the procedure for getting a visa on arrival, the person who met us at the airport was fantastic. He moved us past long queues of people & took us to another desk, spoke to the visa officer & recieved our visas in about 2 mins!! This saved us hours at the airport at 11pm after a long flight. Excellent service. We then met our driver who accompanied us for the entire trip. From this arrival until our departure 14 days later, we had nothing but a wonderfully organised trip/

A fabulous trip to see all that amazing treasures that Jordan has to offer
Be prepared for loads of stairs and sometimes even rock climbing. But the people are lovely and the food amazing.
