This adventure is rated 2 out of 5 for difficulty level. Most activities do are not strenuous, but some like the climbing or camel ride do require higher level of adventure comfort. Both activities are beginner friendly and no previous experience is needed. These activities are built into the trip, but can also be opted out of if they are out of your comfort zone. All other activities are easy.

Join us on an unforgettable 8-day women’s-only adventure through the heart of Jordan, where ancient wonders and desert magic await. This immersive journey takes you from the mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea to the red-sand expanses of Wadi Rum, where you’ll sleep in futuristic Martian domes under a sky full of stars. Ride camels across dramatic dunes, hop in 4x4s for a wild jeep ride through the canyons, and climb the red rock formations that have inspired countless explorers. Throughout the trip, you'll be surrounded by a group of adventurous, like-minded women, sharing moments of connection, empowerment, and awe.

No visit to Jordan is complete without experiencing Petra, the legendary rose-colored city carved into stone. You'll walk through the narrow Siq and arrive at the breathtaking Treasury, then explore ancient tombs, climb hidden stairways, and uncover ruins that whisper stories from thousands of years ago. Along the way, you'll enjoy local meals, meet inspiring people, and have the time to soak it all in. This trip blends adventure, culture, and rest in perfect balance—designed to leave you feeling grounded, inspired, and deeply connected.
