Welcome to my 6-day road trip itinerary around the beautiful country of Jordan. 🇯🇴 I share my top tips for road-tripping in Jordan, general country information, as well as my detailed day-by-day itinerary with top attractions to see, places to stay, and food to try.
I personally took this trip in September 2022 - starting and ending in Amman - and my goal was to maximize my time and see all that the country had to offer.
This trip includes a mix of history and culture, famous food, and outdoor desert exploration.
Places highlighted in this itinerary: Wadi Rum, Wadi Musa (Petra), The Dead Sea, Jerash, & Amman

The Middle East is a remarkable region. The cradle of civilization to the crossroads of East and West, the region has so much to offer. Unfortunately, instability and war makes travel to some countries like Iraq and Syria impossible and to others like Lebanon and Israel/Palestine challenging.
In steps Jordan: the most stable country in the Middle East and maybe the safest country I've ever visited. I had the amazing opportunity to spend three months living in Amman and exploring all around the country.
While Jordan may not be quite as culturally rich as its neighbors, there are a lot of amazing sights to explore. Petra's ancient facades speaks for themselves. The sandy dunes and alien-like rock formations of Wadi Rum is (literally) the movie image of Mars. The Dead Sea is a buoyant and beautiful place. And this only cracks the surface.
This guide is an all-in-one-place guide to exploring Jordan and the wealth of exploring Jordan. This guide features listings from Amman, Jerash, the Dead Sea, sights on the Kings Highway (i.e. Madaba), Petra and Wadi Musa, Wadi Rum, and Aqaba. If you need a more hands on approach to a trip to Jordan, reach out to me! I offer planning services to craft the perfect Jordanian itinerary for you.
So as the Jordanians would say, yalla!

A journey in Jordan is an immersion into a land rich in history, culture, and breathtaking landscapes. It begins with the capital, Amman, a city that blends ancient and modern with its lively markets and historical sites like the Citadel.
Crossing the desert, you reach the captivating Wadi Rum, a vast expanse of red sand with majestic rock formations. Sleeping under the stars in a Bedouin camp is an unforgettable experience.
The highlight of the journey is Petra, the "Rose City" carved into the rock, an ancient wonder that leaves you breathless. Walking through the Siq and seeing the Treasury emerge is a magical moment.
The Dead Sea offers a unique opportunity to float in its incredibly salty waters, while the city of Aqaba on the Red Sea gifts you crystal-clear waters and colorful coral reefs.
Don't forget to explore the biblical history of Madaba and Mount Nebo, which offers spectacular views of the Promised Land.
Throughout the country, the hospitality of the locals, delicious cuisine, and welcoming atmosphere make the journey in Jordan an unforgettable adventure, a blend of ancient and modern, culture and nature.

When I travel, I seek destinations where I can go on excursions, meet new people, be immersed in the culture, and feel safe as a Black woman traveling solo.
The Middle East has always been one of my favorite regions to explore and Jordan had always been on my bucket list because I’d heard not only of its world wonders but the world-class hospitality of the people who live there.
On this trip, I had more once-in-a-lifetime experiences than I can even count AND I felt extremely safe the entire time. Again: as a Black, solo female traveler, that's an incredibly important and sometimes difficult thing to find!
With that in mind, here's my 10-day Jordan Itinerary!
This guide includes
👉 A detailed 10-day itinerary
👉 Accommodation recommendations for each stop
👉 Adventure AND cultural travel excursions
👉 Unique Jordan experiences (woman-owned, sustainable, etc.)
👉 Can't miss photo spots
👉 Links to blog articles for further information
👉 Links to my TikToks and Instagram posts highlighting my visit to a place
🙏🏽 My honest experiences, opinions, and reviews!

This post is inspired by the route I planned for me and my 3 friends in Jordan. We rented a car and had the best week ever. The Jordanian people are some of the most welcoming people I have ever interacted with. It is very much a place I will return too and I would feel safe as a Solo-female traveller.
