Family Tours & Trips in Jordan
Jordan’s main highlights sit fairly close to one another, which makes travel easier for families. Petra’s rock-cut façades remain the best-known sight, with Little Petra nearby. The Dead Sea is famous for its buoyant water, and Aqaba rests along the Red Sea. In towns and desert camps, shared meals with local families are still common. It’s a total cultural experience.

Family Jordan, Petra and Desert AdventureBeautiful, safe and diverse country, excellent guide and itinerary, a great travel experience as a family!
Jordan Family HolidayWe just came back from an amazing visit to Jordan. This is the second time we have used Agate Travel for a trip and like the first time, everything was meticulously planned and executed. We had a personal driver (Radwan Alshwikee) the entire time who went to great lengths to make sure we were taken good care of everywhere we went. He provided insights into the culture, took us to great local restaurants, and helped us with anything we needed every step of the way. In Jerash and Petra, we supplemented our visits with extremely knowledgeable tour guides who shared great insights and information about these ancient sites. We went back to Petra in the evening to experience it by candlelight and with the help of our driver, Radwan, we were able to be among the first people to get in, so we largely had the place to ourselves before other people showed up. Jordan is a wonderful country to visit, the history is unmatched, the desert is spectacular, and the people are very friendly. If you are contemplating visiting: Go! You won’t regret it.
