Jordan cruise: how to choose the right one

A cruise in Jordan almost always calls at Aqaba, the gateway to the Red Sea and the starting point for two of the country's great sights: Petra, the Nabataean city carved into the rock, and Wadi Rum, a vast landscape of sandstone, sand, and canyons.

A port call can also be enjoyed more simply along Aqaba's waterfront, with snorkeling, beaches, and the city's laid-back atmosphere.

Depending on the itinerary, the experience can focus on culture, the desert, the beach, or quiet contemplation, often as part of a cruise that also visits Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Emirates, or covers longer routes between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea.

Tips for choosing your cruise to Jordan

1. Choose your region

  • Aqaba and the Red Sea : The cruise port area, ideal for the waterfront, beaches, snorkeling, beach clubs, and a more relaxed port call.
  • Petra : The signature excursion from Aqaba is the top choice if you want to devote your port call to one of the Middle East's greatest archaeological sites.
  • Wadi Rum : A spectacular alternative or complement, with desert landscapes, rock formations, canyons, golden light, and guided 4x4 tours.
  • Red Sea and Middle East routes : Depending on the season, Jordan is often included on cruises visiting Suez, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Dubai, or the Eastern Mediterranean.

Must-see experiences on a Jordan cruise

Walking through the Siq before discovering Petra's Treasury

Travelers often remember the approach to Petra as vividly as the monument itself. The passage through the canyon, the light on the rock, and the Treasury gradually coming into view give this excursion from Aqaba a rare intensity.

Crossing Wadi Rum between sandstone cliffs and red sand

Wadi Rum presents another side of Jordan, one that is more open and peaceful. Travelers appreciate the 4x4 tracks, rock arches, canyons, and changing light that give the desert real visual depth.

Enjoy the Red Sea without leaving Aqaba

For travelers who prefer a shorter excursion, Aqaba offers a seaside experience of Jordan. Travelers enjoy the beaches, snorkeling trips, marina, and resort atmosphere framed by the mountains.

Hidden gems off the beaten path

Stopping in Khazali Canyon during the Wadi Rum excursion

Khazali Canyon gives a more intimate break amid the great landscapes of Wadi Rum, where travelers enjoy entering this narrow passage, observing the carved walls and finding some shade before returning to the open trails.

Snorkeling at Aqaba's Japanese Reef

Japanese Reef is a good option for travelers who want to enjoy the Red Sea without venturing too far from the port. The coral, colorful fish, and clear water make for a more ocean-focused port call, very different from the major excursions to Petra.

Taking the time to see Petra beyond the Treasury

Many visitors stop too soon after seeing the first great façade. Travelers who continue to the theater, tombs, and ancient road gain a better sense of Petra's scale and leave with a more complete picture of the site.

Must-sees in Jordan


Three quarters of Jordan's territory is desert, yet this small country lives up to its nickname of Land of Flowers. Everywhere in the country, flowers, true warriors, manage to find their place between the dunes. Near Siq al-Bardi, poppies form a scarlet carpet at the gateway to the desert. The Dana reserve is adorned with fine ribbons of oleander. As for the long King's Highway, it is lined with black irises, Jordan's emblematic flower. In spring, the Umm Qais site in the far north of the country is a vast garden where pale yellow hollyhocks, thistle flowers, mauve orchids and tall immaculate daisies form a colorful tableau.

On the way to Dana, a 6,000-year-old village that sits proudly atop a hill, you can admire the rocky slopes of Jebel Rummana, from which you have a breathtaking view of Wadi Dana. If you're lucky, you may come across a Sinai agama scampering down the rocks or a fierce ibex grazing peacefully in the heart of the gullies. Challenging the dunes of Wadi Rum, you'll discover the Bedouin, the people of the desert, who invite you into their tents for tea and hookah.

For history buffs, a stay in Jordan is a journey out of time. Throughout the country, astonishingly well-preserved historical remains stand proudly. Amman's Roman theater and citadel, Jerash's long colonnaded road and its ancient baths and hippodrome plunge you into the fascinating world of Roman antiquity and its architectural wonders. Madaba is another historical landmark that you won't want to miss during your stay in Jordan. Long located at the crossroads of merchant caravans, invading troops and pilgrims in search of the Promised Land, Madaba is a fascinating cultural melting pot where ancient buildings and museums of all kinds evoke its long epic. Before leaving Madaba, be sure to admire the city's rich collection of mosaics. Following the Road of the Kings, you'll discover other vestiges of Jordan's past. Along the way, you'll come across the city of Petra, the work of the Nabataeans, with its astonishing troglodyte buildings. You'll also pass through Umm ar-Rasas, one of the ancient Roman outposts and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. At Kerak and Shobak, you'll come across ancient Crusader castles. Even as you wander through the desert, you'll come across other historic relics of interest, such as the out-of-nowhere buildings left by the early Umayyads.

The ideal time for a trip to Jordan


The ideal time for a trip to Jordan is from March to November, i.e. from spring to autumn. However, if you want to enjoy reasonable temperatures, it's best to plan your trip for spring or autumn. At this time of year, temperatures remain reasonable, even around the desert. What's more, the most interesting sites are reasonably crowded, so you can make the most of every visit.
