Upon arrival, you will be transferred to your hotel. The remainder of the day is at leisure. Overnight Amman. (D)
Day 2: AMMAN – JERASH – AJLOUN – AMMAN
After breakfast, begin your Amman city tour: Citadel Mount, Archaeological Museum, Downtown, Roman Theatre and old and new parts of Amman. Drive to Ajloun castle which was expanded in 1214 into its current configuration. The castle is one of the best preserved and most complete examples of medieval Arab-Islamic military.

Transfer back to Amman. Overnight Amman. (B, D)
Day 3: AMMAN – UM QEIS – DEAD SEA – AMMAN

Visit this Greco-Roman town, also mentioned in the Bible, located on a hillside of northern Jordan, and marvel at the sweeping view of Lake Tiberias and the Golan Heights from atop this Decapolis. Kindle that transcendental feeling, as you walk through the path of ancient flourishing civilizations, their remnants telling the story of the many travellers who entered its ancient gates; from the Macedonians, who first established their acropolis, to the Romans, Byzantines, Umayyads and Ottomans.

Day 5: PETRA
Enjoy a full day tour of the Red Rose city, where you will explore one of the most stunning sites in the entire Middle East. The Red Rose City of Petra is carved out of craggy rocks by the Nabateans approximately 2000 years ago. Fortified behind a narrow, deep siq (gorge) that slowly winds through a huge rock wall, the majestic façade of the so-called Treasury rises up with a breathtaking view as you emerge into the sunlight. The Monastery and the High Place of the Sacrifice are among the myriad archaeological wonders to be explored in Petra. Overnight Petra. (B, D)
