Explore the city’s most impressive ruins, including theaters, baths, fountains, winding paved streets, and striking hilltop temples. Upon returning to Amman, the “white city,” your city tour begins. Amman’s white limestone buildings are a sight to behold. Your expert guide will delve into the city’s rich history, highlighting excavations and renovations spanning the Neolithic, Hellenistic, late Roman, and Arab Islamic eras. A tour highlight is the Citadel, where you’ll uncover the ancient temple of Hercules, the 8th-century Umayyad Palace, the Byzantine Church, and the well-preserved 6,000-seat Roman theatre dating back to the 2nd century.

Day 3: Unveiling Madaba, Mount Nebo, Kerak Castle, and the Enchantment of Petra
Today, we embark on a picturesque journey along the King’s Highway en route to Petra, soaking in the stunning vistas of Jordan’s wadis, olive groves, and rustic villages. Our adventure includes stops at significant historical sites, commencing with Madaba, where we’ll visit the Greek Orthodox Church of St. George. Here, you’ll admire the renowned 6th-century Byzantine mosaic map of the Holy Land, among other biblical landmarks. Our path leads to Mount Nebo, affording breathtaking panoramic views of the Holy Land from its summit. En route to Petra, we’ll traverse the remarkable Wadi al-Mujib and pause at the formidable 12th-century Kerak Castle, a colossal fortress constructed by Crusader King Baldwin along the ancient Egypt-Syrian caravan route. Finally, we’ll reach Petra and assist you with the check-in process at your hotel for the night. While you’ll have some free time to explore the city independently, we strongly recommend the Petra by Candlelight tour through the Siq to the Treasury—an enchanting experience not to be missed.

Day 4: Exploring the Wonders of Petra & camping under stars in Wadi Rum
Today, we embark on a full-day expedition to uncover the marvels of Petra, the renowned Nabatean site. Dating back to the 1st century AD, Petra once thrived as the Nabatean commercial empire’s capital. Forgotten for centuries, it was rediscovered in 1812 by Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt. Accessible solely through the narrow passage known as the Siq, Petra is nestled on the precipice of Wadi Aruba, encircled by towering canyon walls and hills. Our guided tour guides us through the winding Siq, a narrow passage that rises 200 meters and narrows to just 2 meters wide. We’ll pass the terracotta pipes that once conveyed water into the city and the ancient Nabatean water channel. Upon emerging from the Siq, we’ll be mesmerized by the sight of the Khazneh, also known as the Treasury, one of Petra’s most magnificent landmarks. Our exploration continues to the Roman amphitheater, colonnaded streets, and the multi-colored sandstone cliffs leading to the Monastery, Petra’s grandest carved monument, standing at an impressive 50 meters in height and 45 meters in width. The vistas of Wadi Aruba and the Jordan Valley from this vantage point are simply awe-inspiring. Following an unforgettable day in Petra, we journey to Wadi Rum, an awe-inspiring desert landscape characterized by towering rock formations and cliffs. Here, we’re welcomed by hospitable Bedouin hosts and make ourselves at home in a comfortable campsite beneath the starlit sky. Indulging in a delectable traditional Jordanian meal, we spend the evening gathered around the campfire, stargazing, and relishing the serenity of this magnificent desert backdrop. OVERNIGHT: Wadi Rum Bedouin camp MEALS: Breakfast, Dinner EXTRAS: None

Day 5: Jeep Safari adventure in Wadi Rum & Swim in the Dead Sea
Our day kicks off with an exhilarating jeep safari through the captivating desert landscape of Wadi Rum. This region, renowned for its towering cliffs and intriguing rock formations, became famous through its depiction in the film “Lawrence of Arabia.” We’ll navigate the desert’s diverse terrain, taking in the breathtaking vistas that stretch before us. Following our Wadi Rum adventure, we’ll journey northward to the shores of the Dead Sea. This remarkable body of water holds the distinction of being the Earth’s lowest point, situated more than 400 meters below sea level. It receives waters from various sources, including the Jordan River, and the convergence of these waters leaves behind a unique amalgamation of salts and minerals, contributing to the production of high-quality local products. We’ll pause for a swim in the Dead Sea, an extraordinary experience unlike any other. Thanks to its remarkably high salt concentration, you’ll effortlessly float on its surface, creating a truly unforgettable and unique encounter. Just remember to avoid getting the water in your eyes, as it can be quite uncomfortable. After savoring this distinctive swim in the Dead Sea, we’ll make our way back to Amman, savoring the picturesque views of the hills of Jerusalem along the journey. This region is historically associated with five biblical cities: Sodom, Gomorrah, Adman, Zebouin, and Zoar (Bela). For those desiring additional time at the Dead Sea for spa treatments or relaxation, we offer the option of spending your final night in Jordan here rather than returning to Amman.
