Out Adventures

A Journey Worth Savoring

After our tour of Egypt concludes, we welcome you to join this short Jordan extension. Our 5-day adventure begins in the Dead Sea to float in its salt-dense waters and enjoy an exfoliating mud bath. We'll appreciate the region's deserts and dunes during a 4×4 truck tour. And perhaps most importantly, we'll hike through rose-y, sandstone cliffs en route to UNESCO-listed Petra and its world-famous, stone-carved facade. Throw in a few fragrant dinners, some Indiana Jones references, a splash of ancient history, a luxe desert campsite and it all adds up to a sun-soaked Middle Eastern escape.

Follow in the footsteps of Lawrence of Arabia and Indiana Jones on this gay Jordan & Petra tour.
