Risala Travel is a Jordan-based agency working out of Aqaba — arranging hotel stays, Petra day tours and Wadi Rum desert camps for travellers coming to the south of Jordan.
Risala Travel is based in Aqaba, on Jordan's Red Sea coast — the natural gateway to Petra and Wadi Rum. Being on the ground here means we can hold a hand-picked hotel room, confirm a Bedouin camp, and brief a driver, all without the guesswork of booking from abroad.
We work directly with a small number of trusted hotels and guides in the south of Jordan rather than reselling anonymous packages, so every stay and every tour is one we can vouch for personally.
We arrange stays at Cloud 7 Ayla Residences in Aqaba, part of the Ayla waterfront development — a convenient base for guests heading on to Petra or Wadi Rum, or simply staying for the Red Sea.
Petra and Wadi Rum sit within about two hours of Aqaba, which is why most of our itineraries build outward from here.
Through the Siq to the Treasury, on to the Royal Tombs and the High Place of Sacrifice if you have the legs for it — paced to who's walking, with a licensed local guide.
