10-Day Private Birdwatching Tour of Jordan
A private ten-day journey linking Jordan’s forests, wetlands, reserves, desert valleys and Red Sea migration sites with cultural highlights and flexible birding.
About this tour
Explore Jordan’s varied bird habitats on a ten-day private journey arranged by Jordan Horizons Tours. The route begins in Amman and moves through northern woodland, the Azraq wetlands, desert and reserve habitats, Dana, Petra, Wadi Rum and the Red Sea coast at Aqaba.
Birdwatching is integrated with Jordan’s natural and cultural landmarks. Guided sessions and self-guided reserve visits are combined with private transport, accommodation and local guiding where specified. The exact routing can be adjusted for season, reserve access, walking ability, target species, recent sightings and flight times.
Spring and autumn are the principal migration periods, while winter can be rewarding for waterbirds and raptors. This is a private, tailor-made programme rather than a fixed departure. The current price depends on dates, group size, accommodation level and guide arrangements, and is confirmed after a BirdWatch inquiry.
