Many indeed, and below we show you a list of these experiences to enjoy in Jordan. After all, it’s the special activities that turn a good trip into an unforgettable one. That’s why Jordania Exclusiva, like the rest of the Mandala Tours agencies, offers a catalog of unique experiences to enjoy at each destination. All of them are connected to traditional culture, local nature, and other aspects that define the character of each community, which find in these experiences a way to preserve their identity and share it with those who visit. Some of them are featured in our Activities section, and those that aren’t can be organized according to your preferences and included at the most fitting moment of your itinerary.
4×4 route through Wadi Rum
The Wadi Rum desert, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is home to many of these experiences you can enjoy in Jordan. In this case, a classic one: exploring the trails of this magical, arid territory by jeep, winding between striking rocky hills and stone arches that seem to defy the laws of gravity.
Hot air balloon ride over Wadi Rum
Another way to discover this desert is from above, aboard hot air balloons that take flight with the first rays of sunlight, when the atmosphere is calmer… and the light, if possible, even more spectacular. Without a doubt, one of those times when waking up so early is truly worth it.
Stargazing in Wadi Rum
If you’d rather enjoy the view from the opposite direction (from solid ground up toward the sky), Wadi Rum is also an ideal spot to marvel at the heavens. Its night sky is truly special, thanks to the minimal cloud cover and complete absence of artificial light. And if you also have the guidance of an expert, even better: you won’t miss a single moon of Jupiter or ring of Saturn.
Petra at night
Jordan’s other great tourist destination, Petra, also has a great deal to offer visitors, even after dark. Here, a nighttime light and sound show unfolds, allowing you to admire the Siq and the Treasury in a different way, one that feels even more moving and magical.
Diving in Aqaba
The Aqaba Marine Reserve, recently named a UNESCO World Heritage Site, conceals true treasures beneath its waters. Yet once you venture in, they become clearly visible, especially the sheer variety and abundance of coral reefs covering the seabed. For all these reasons, spending a day diving here is one of the most special experiences you can add to your itinerary.
Mud bath in the Dead Sea
Covering yourself in Dead Sea mud is an experience many travelers come to enjoy, whether for the fun of seeing themselves in such a state or for the skin benefits it’s said to provide. We can arrange this experience safely, using this mud so highly prized by the cosmetics industry.
Cooking Classes in Madaba
A community’s identity is deeply rooted in its cuisine. And one of the best places to connect with the heart of Jordanian gastronomy is Madaba, through personal cooking classes or workshops lasting several hours, where you can learn to prepare delicacies such as mensaf, baba ganoush, and bazelleh.
And of course, alongside these cultural experiences that we can arrange privately for you, you can also add the activities organized by the Jordan Heritage Revival Company (JHRC): theatrical historical reenactments staged at iconic sites such as Shobak Castle or the Umm Qais archaeological site.
