Things to Do in Jordan in December

Navigating Jordan's distances in December requires a strategy as reliable as the stone of its castles. This private transportation service has a tailored solution, turning the journey between Amman and places like Jerash, Ajloun, or the Dana Biosphere into a comfortable, heated passage through landscapes where bare winter trees silhouette rolling hills.

This two-day circuit is the classic Jordan experience compressed into a manageable winter escapade. Imagine the first day spent in Petra, where the cool air makes the walk through the Siq invigorating, and the rose-red city seems to absorb the low-angled sun, followed by a night in Wadi Rum under a blanket of stars so sharp and cold they seem to crackle. The second day brings the surreal float in the heavy, mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea, a bracing contrast to the desert chill.

The Red Sea off Aqaba defies Jordan's winter, with water temperatures remaining relatively mild while the arid mountains behind the coast stand in crisp relief. A private scuba experience here means descending into a world of busy coral forests where parrotfish crunch and angelfish drift, all while feeling the cool embrace of the depths, a stark contrast to the dry, cool air you'll breathe back on the boat.

For those pressed by time, this tour delivers a formidable one-two punch of Jordan's wonders. You will walk through the narrow, shadowy Siq of Petra in the cool morning, emerging before the Treasury, then later feel the strange, oily weight of the Dead Sea on your skin, all within a single day's circuit from Amman.

This tour examines the central plateau's spiritual and artistic heritage, from the Byzantine mosaics of Madaba, a map of the world rendered in stone, to the windy summit of Mount Nebo, where views stretch across the promised land. It culminates with the tactile oddity of the Dead Sea, its shores often quieter in December.

First and last impressions matter, when arriving in a December chill or departing after nightfall. This transfer service provides an easy, pre-arranged link between Queen Alia International Airport and your hotel in Amman, the Dead Sea, or beyond, in a warm vehicle with a driver who knows the routes.
