Your journey begins with your arrival at Queen Alia International Airport (AMM) in Amman. After clearing customs, you’ll be greeted and transferred to a comfortable vehicle. The first stops are steeped in history and religious significance. You’ll visit Mount Nebo, where Moses is said to have looked out over the Promised Land. The panoramic views of the Jordan Valley and the Dead Sea are breathtaking. Next, you’ll travel to Madaba, known as the “City of Mosaics.” Here, you’ll see the exquisite Byzantine mosaics, most notably the 6th-century Madaba Map of the Holy Land in the Church of St. George. The day culminates with a drive south to the iconic city of Petra, where you’ll check into your accommodation for the evening.

This day is dedicated to exploring the magnificent “Rose Red City” of Petra, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. You’ll walk through the Siq, a narrow gorge, which dramatically opens up to reveal the stunning Treasury (Al-Khazneh). You’ll have ample time to explore the vast archaeological site, including the Street of Facades, the Roman Theater, and the Royal Tombs. Later, you’ll visit Little Petra, also known as Siq al-Barid, a smaller and less crowded version of Petra with carved buildings and tombs. In the afternoon, you’ll continue your journey to the otherworldly desert landscape of Wadi Rum, where you will spend the night under the stars in a Bedouin camp.

Awake in the stunning desert of Wadi Rum and embark on a thrilling 4×4 Jeep tour. Your experienced Bedouin guide will take you through the dramatic sandstone mountains, ancient rock inscriptions, and vast, open landscapes, showcasing famous landmarks like Lawrence’s Spring and the Khazali Canyon. After the tour, you’ll drive towards the Dead Sea. Along the way, you’ll have the option of visiting either Wadi Al Hasa, known for its water trekking and stunning natural gorges, or Dana National Park, a beautiful and diverse nature reserve. The day concludes at the lowest point on Earth, the Dead Sea, where you can experience the unique sensation of floating effortlessly in its hyper-saline waters and enjoy the therapeutic mud.

Begin your day with a final, relaxing float in the Dead Sea. Then, you’ll head north to visit Bethany Beyond the Jordan, the site where Jesus is believed to have been baptized by John the Baptist. This site holds great significance for pilgrims and historians alike. Next, you’ll travel to the impressive Greco-Roman city of Jerash, one of the best-preserved Roman provincial towns in the world. You’ll walk through its colonnaded streets, visit the Temple of Artemis, and see the Oval Plaza. The journey continues to the northern highlands and Ajloun Castle, a 12th-century Islamic fortress built to protect against Crusader attacks. Finally, you will drive back to Amman for your last night in Jordan.

Your final day is dedicated to a tour of Jordan’s capital, Amman. You’ll explore the Citadel, perched on a hill with a view of the entire city, and see the Temple of Hercules and the remains of a Byzantine church.
