Jordan honeymoon

Carbon reduction

Your holiday will help support local people and conservation. We must also reduce CO₂. Learn about the CO₂ emissions of this holiday and how to reduce them.

Environment

We have incorporated a desert camp (Wadi Rum) into the itinerary which is a low impact accommodation due to the fact they are not large, opposing buildings which disturb the wonderful landscape and nature. They also use less water and electricity due to more basic facilities. The Bedouin camp in Wadi Rum ensures the protection of the Bedouin community through activities with Bedouin guides, cooking demonstrations and Bedouin musicians playing the traditional Rababah.
We are promoting the ancient heritage and natural landscape of Jordan through visiting Petra and Umm Ar-Rasas, UNESCO World Heritage Site’s. Sites are chosen by the UNESCO committee and must "bear a unique or at least exceptional testimony to a cultural tradition or to civilisation", "an important interchange of human values" or be outstanding examples of major stages of Earth's history or ecological and biological processes in evolution.
We attempt to reduce plastic bottle use wherever possible by promoting use of reusable and filtered water bottles. Our partnership with Water-To-Go provides a discount on filtered water bottles to our clients. We do not provide water from plastic bottles to our clients in country but always ensure there is regular access to drinking water on our tours.

Community

On Day 5 you will have the opportunity to take part in a cooking class at Petra Kitchen. You will also explore the streets of Amman and be able to sample some street food. The best way to share stories and meet new people is over a plate of great food and a glass in hand. Supporting the local food industry in Jordan not only maintains the cultural identity of Jordan but connects cultures through the most ancient of pastimes, eating!
In Jordan we use local ground handlers who in turn book locally run hotels, providing employment for a number of members of staff and support families. The ground handlers also use local drivers and guides at the sites – our clients are taken to family run restaurants. This means that all the operational costs go directly into the local economy. For example, we explore the incredible desert of Wadi Rum in the traditional Beduion style on a camel. The low impact mode of transport allows you more time to fully soak in the awesome scenery and understand the history of camels in the Beduion culture and their use for trade.
