Flight time
The flight from Auckland to Jordan takes roughly 28 hours with a stopover. A long flight is a small price to pay for the culture, history and beauty you're about to be immersed in.
Magic in the mountains, stories in the sand
Jordan is a land where history, culture and stunning landscapes come together in a tapestry of marvels. Be awe-struck by the rose-red city of Petra, float effortlessly in the Dead Sea, or explore the Mars-like beauty of Wadi Rum – where the sunsets feel otherworldly.
In vibrant Amman, Roman ruins sit alongside lively souks, while Madaba and Mt Nebo reveal ancient mosaics and sweeping biblical views.
Hike through wild desert beauty, uncover archaeological treasures, and connect with local culture along the way. Jordan’s legendary hospitality and rich cuisine have to be experienced to be believed – think smoky baba ganoush, crisp falafel and fragrant mansaf shared over stories and sweet tea. You’ll feel like you’ve made lifelong friends everywhere you go.
Whether you’re following the footsteps of prophets, stargazing from a Bedouin camp, or simply soaking up a slower way of life, Jordan is unforgettable in every sense.
Let our Jordan specialists craft your perfect adventure – your story begins here.
Best time to go
March to May and September to November are the best times for outdoor adventures as they fall between the cold winter rains and hot summer sun.
Time difference
Jordan is 9–11 hours behind New Zealand depending on daylight saving in both countries. You'll adjust, but it might take a few days till day is night and night is day.
