An introduction to Jordan combining ancient and medieval sightseeing
Meet our representative at Queen Alia International Airport and be transferred to your hotel. The remainder of the day is at leisure. Overnight Amman.
After breakfast depart Amman for Petra via the Desert way. Begin a full day tour of Petra where you will explore one of the most stunning sites in the entire Middle East – the legendary “Red – Rose” City of Petra carved out of craggy rocks by the Nabateans, the industrious Arab people who settled in the South more than 2,000 years ago. Fortified behind a narrow, deep Siq [Gorge] that slowly winds through a massive rock wall, the majestic façade of the so-called ‘Treasury’ [Al-Kazneh] rises up with a breath taking view as you emerge into the sunlight. The Monastery [El Deir] and the High Place of the Sacrifice [Al Madbah] are among the myriad archaeological wonders to be explored at Petra. Overnight Petra.
After breakfast, depart for Amman via King’s way and en route visit Kerak Castle, which was built in 1132 a.d. by Baudouin king of Jerusalem on a strategic location on the caravan road linking Egypt to Syria. The fortress is a maze of galleries, arched chambers and fortified towers overlooking the valley of Wadi Mujib, 500 yards below. Stop in Madaba, the city of Mosaics [Medeba in the Bible]. Visit St. George Greek – Orthodox Church which shelters a famous 6th century mosaic map featuring Jerusalem and the Holy Land. Less than 10 km away there is Mt. Nebo, the presumed burial site of Prophet Moses. Arrive in Amman. Overnight Amman.
After breakfast, be transferred to Queen Alia International Airport for your flight home. End of our services.
