Continue planning with our Jordan tours, and consult the official Jordan Tourism Board for current destination information.
Solo travel is freedom. But freedom works best when you have a safety net. The Solo Traveller Jordan Explorer is designed for independent travelers who want to explore at their own pace without the logistical headaches of solo travel in an unfamiliar country. Your Solo Support Specialist is available 24/7 via WhatsApp for everything from restaurant recommendations to emergency assistance. You stay in social, solo-friendly accommodations where you will meet other travelers. Your guide joins you for key activities (Petra, Wadi Rum) but leaves you free to explore Amman, Aqaba, and Madaba independently. This is not a group tour where you are tied to others. It is a solo journey with expert backup.
This 7-day solo Jordan adventure gives you the independence to explore on your own terms with the confidence of 24/7 expert support. Day 1-2: explore Amman independently with your Solo Support Specialist providing restaurant recommendations, walking routes, and safety tips via WhatsApp. Day 3: guided day trip to Jerash and Ajloun (group tour, perfect for meeting other travelers). Day 4: guided Petra day trip with transport and a knowledgeable guide who walks you through the highlights. Day 5: transfer to Wadi Rum for a solo jeep safari and Bedouin camp experience (you join a small group of other solo travelers). Day 6: free time in Aqaba for beach, snorkeling, and socializing. Day 7: departure. You are never alone unless you want to be.

Useful labels that help compare this journey with other Jordan Journey experiences.
Clear answers before you reserve your journey.
Yes. Jordan is one of the safest countries in the Middle East for solo female travelers. The culture is hospitable and respectful toward women. Our Solo Support Specialist provides female travelers with additional safety guidance: recommended dress codes, safe neighborhoods, and vetted transportation. Female guides are available for all activities. Solo female travelers consistently report feeling safe and welcome in Jordan. Standard precautions apply: avoid isolated areas at night, keep valuables secure, and trust your instincts.
Both. This tour is designed for independent exploration with group activities mixed in. You explore Amman and Aqaba independently (with Specialist support). You join small groups (2-8 travelers) for the guided day trips to Jerash, Petra, and Wadi Rum. This mix gives you the freedom to wander alone and the social connection of group activities. You are never forced to join group activities: everything is optional.
Flexibility is a core feature of this tour. Your Solo Support Specialist can modify your schedule with 24 hours notice. Want to stay an extra night in Petra? Skip Aqaba and add the Dead Sea? Join a cooking class? Your Specialist handles the changes. Some modifications incur additional costs (extra nights, private transport), but there is no change fee for adjustments within the existing package.
No. English is widely spoken in tourist areas, hotels, and restaurants. Your Specialist speaks Arabic and can assist with any language barriers. Learning a few basic Arabic phrases (hello, thank you, please) is appreciated by locals and enhances your experience. Your Specialist provides a phrase list on arrival.
The Hostel Package includes vetted, social hostels with clean dormitories, common kitchens, rooftop terraces, and organized events. The Boutique Package includes small guesthouses with private rooms, en-suite bathrooms, and a more intimate atmosphere. Both are solo-friendly: staff are accustomed to solo travelers and can provide recommendations and assistance. Photos and reviews are available before booking.
The guided day trips (Jerash, Petra, Wadi Rum) are the best places to meet other solo travelers. Your Specialist can also connect you with other Jordan Journey solo travelers in Amman and Aqaba if both parties consent. The hostels organize nightly social events (dinners, bar crawls, game nights) that are perfect for making friends.
Your Solo Support Specialist is available 24/7 via WhatsApp for any issue. For medical emergencies, they know the nearest hospital and can dispatch a driver immediately. For safety concerns, they can arrange alternative accommodation or transport. For lost items or scams, they provide immediate guidance. All Solo Support Specialists are trained in crisis management and first aid.
