Itinerary

DAY 1:                               AMMAN

Upon arrival, you will be transferred to your hotel. The remainder of the day is at leisure. Overnight Amman. (D)

DAY 2:                               AMMAN – JERASH – AMMAN

After breakfast, tour the city of Amman, known as Rabbath Ammon and Philadelphia in Biblical times. See the remains of the Roman Theatre, the Archaeological Museum and the Citadel containing the remains of the massive Temple of Hercules. Later, drive to Jerash, the Graeco-Roman city, and close second to Petra on the list of favourite destinations in Jordan. Possessing an unbroken chain of human occupation, dating back over 6,500 years, hidden in sand for centuries before being excavated and restored over the past 70 years. Take the opportunity to walk beneath four imposing gates or down the “Street of Columns” north of the Oval Plaza while stepping over the tracks of chariot wheels still visible in the paving stones. Return to Amman. Overnight Amman (B, D)

DAY 3:                               AMMAN – DEAD SEA

After breakfast, transfer from Amman to your hotel in the Dead Sea. Day is at leisure to utilise the hotels facilities or to have a float in the lowest place on earth. Overnight Dead Sea. (B, D)

DAY 4:                               DEAD SEA – WADI RUM

Depart for Wadi Rum and join a jeep tour over the famous desert mountains. See the striking landscape of endless sand and rock formations that appear out of the desert sands. Overnight will be a truly authentic experience, under the stars in a Bedouin Style Tent or Martian Dome. Overnight Wadi Rum. (B, D)

DAY 5:                               WADI RUM – PETRA

After breakfast, depart for 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 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. Horse ride is included. Overnight Petra. (B, D)

DAY 6:                               PETRA – KERAK – MADABA – MT NEBO – AMMAN

After breakfast transfer to Amman, with a stop at Kerak, Madaba & Mount Nebo. Kerak lies about 150km south of Amman. It is renowned for 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 the north and south. Then 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. Proceed to Amman. Overnight Amman. (B, D)

DAY 7:                               AMMAN

After breakfast, transfer to Amman airport for departure. End of our services. (B)

Review for: Petra Overnight

Wow!!!!! One of the best experiences of my life!! This is a MUST!! Our driver/tour guide was Qutaibeh. He was amazing!!! Really went above and beyond to accommodate everyone in the whole group. We had the best time!! Petra was awesome, the camp was amazing, beautiful sunset, the jeep tour was really cool and the food was great!! Qutaibeh took us everywhere we wanted to, was so patient, honest, and funny. He knew a lot of fun facts and made sure we were entertained and happy the whole time! As a solo female traveller I felt so safe and had the best time ever!!!

JUST DO IT !!!

Review for: Jordan & The Bedouins

THIS IS A MUST!! Our trip to Jordan wouldn’t nearly have been the same without our amazing tour guide. He always went above and beyond 200% effort in everything we did. We were always on time and got to see way more than we ever imagined. I mentioned wanting a melon while driving to the Dead Sea and he hailed a melon truck 1 minute later and got the driver to give us melons and we ate them by the Dead Sea and it was delicious!! Definitely ask for restaurant recommendations as well, he knows the spots!! One of the most fun tours I’ve ever been on. He said some people take the tour 3 times, alone, with family, and with friends. I can definitely see why!! Don’t miss out!!!
