5.Amman to Wadi Rum
Distance: (Via Desert Highway) 326.5 Kms,
Time: 4 hours
If road-tripping the entire country in the span of two weeks seems impossible; my friend, you haven't visited Jordan yet. Well, not with the intention of scaling it in your SUV at least. While the whole idea might sound too ambitious to a road-trip noob, one can definitely try and not miss driving up to Wadi Rum or the valley of Moon, a 74000-hectare property, from the capital city - Amman.
This protected valley boasts of lofty sandstone mountains, rugged river beds and steep gorges, all coated in a kaleidoscope of natural rock colors right from faint pinks to vivid reds. It takes roughly 4 hours to arrive at Wadi entrance. You can opt for a guided tour, a popular way to explore this gorgeous set up. A typical 2-hour tour includes beingn driven in a 4X4 with a bedouin driver, a 30-minute camel ride and a visit to Bedouin tent to meet the friendly locals.
