Meals Included:
Breakfast, Dinner

After breakfast, transfer to Amman en-route visiting Kerak, Madaba & Mount Nebo. First stop is Kerak. Kerak lies about 150 Km south of Amman. It is famous of its crusader fortress in the centre of underground galleries, rooms and secret passageways and its thick defensive walls pierced by narrow arrow slits where crusader archers held out bravely but in vain for over 100 years. It was the crusaders who made Kerak famous. The fortress was built in 1142 by Payen Le Boutellier, the lord of Montreal. He made Kerak the new capital of the province because it was situated on the king’s highway, where it could control all traffic from north and south. Next, we drive to Madaba, “the City of Mosaics”. Madaba’s chief attraction, in the contemporary Greek Orthodox Church of St. Georg, is a wonderfully vivid, sixth-century Byzantine mosaic map showing Jerusalem and other holy sites. Ten minutes to the west is the most revered site in Jordan: Mount Nebo, the memorial of Moses, the presumed site of the prophet’s death and burial place. A small, square church was built on the spot by early Byzantine Christians and later expanded into a vast complex. Then drive to Amman. Overnight Amman.

Recommend!!

Review for: Magnificent Nile

I absolutely recommend this tour for anyone who wants a truly memorable experience exploring Egypt! Everything was perfect and was far more than what we expected. Everything was taken care of and organized very well. It was the perfect mix of luxury travel and getting the local experience. Visiting the sites and museums in a more private environment was a real VIP experience and my favorite part was getting to visit a local Nubian home. Definitely recommending this to everyone I know and we are already talking about going back with our kids someday.

Thank you

Review for: Nile Discovery

After a representative assisted me through the arrival process (I could highly recommend this company for that alone). It was late, I was tired, and he handled everything quickly to get me to my hotel. I met up with Max the next day. He was so knowledgeable and made me feel like royalty. My own personal bodyguard/ photography/ Egyptologist. He went above and beyond.
