The Siq at dawn. The Treasury emerging from rose-red rock. No crowds. Just you and 2,000 years of Nabataean ambition. β The Pure Coastal
“At 6 AM in the Siq, the only sound is your footsteps on 2,000-year-old stone. Then the canyon opens β and there it is. 45 metres of rose-red rock carved by hand into the most beautiful building you have ever seen. This is the moment our guests say they understood why they came.”
Jordan is the Middle East distilled into one extraordinary country β ancient beyond imagination, yet effortlessly modern and safe. The Pure Coastal designs completely private Jordan journeys that move at your pace through one of the world’s most spectacular landscapes.
Petra β The Rose-Red City
Petra is not just an archaeological site. It is the greatest act of human ambition carved into a mountain. The Nabataeans built an entire civilisation β temples, tombs, markets, a theatre seating 8,500 β inside rose-red sandstone cliffs 2,000 years ago. Walking through the Siq β a 1.2km narrow canyon where the rock walls rise 80 metres overhead β and emerging to face the Treasury for the first time is one of the most dramatic experiences on earth.
- Private dawn access β arrive before the gates open. The Treasury at first light, with no other visitors. A moment you will never forget.
- The Monastery (Al-Deir) β 800 steps cut into the cliff face lead to a monument even larger than the Treasury. Fewer tourists make it here. Your private guide carries the water.
- Little Petra (Siq al-Barid) β a smaller, quieter Nabataean settlement with remarkable painted ceilings. Almost nobody comes here.
- Petra by Night β 1,500 candles illuminate the Siq and Treasury twice a week. One of the most magical spectacles in the world.

Wadi Rum β The Valley of the Moon
Lawrence of Arabia called it “vast, echoing and God-like.” NASA tested its Mars rovers here β the landscape is so alien it has served as Mars in more than a dozen Hollywood films. Wadi Rum is 720 square kilometres of rose-red desert: soaring sandstone mountains, ancient rock carvings, and absolute, profound silence.
Your private Bedouin guide navigates the desert by instinct. Lunch is cooked underground in a zarb β a traditional sand oven. Your luxury camp appears at the base of a cliff as the sun sets. Then darkness falls β and in Wadi Rum, darkness is not empty. It is filled with more stars than you can comprehend.

The Dead Sea β The End of the Earth
The Dead Sea sits 430 metres below sea level β the lowest point on the surface of the earth. Its water is so dense with minerals that the human body floats effortlessly. The mineral-rich black mud that lines its shores has been used for therapeutic purposes since the time of Cleopatra. Compare with luxury Red Sea properties here.
A private luxury resort on the Jordanian side of the Dead Sea offers infinity pools appearing to merge with the water, spa treatments using Dead Sea minerals, and sunsets that turn the entire landscape shades of gold and violet.
Amman β The White City
Jordan’s capital is built on seven hills and its history stretches back 10,000 years. The Roman Theatre (2nd century AD, 6,000 seats) still hosts concerts. The Citadel overlooks the city from its highest hill. The Rainbow Street neighbourhood is all artisan coffee shops, vintage boutiques and some of the best food in the Middle East.
