Amman - Umm Qais (approx. 100 km)

Umm Qais (Gadara) was a fort city set on a hill and the ruins are still surrounded by the ancient walls, crumbled and partly submerged in places. It is a hilltop site with grand views over Lake Tiberias, the Yarmouk River and the Golan Heights. It is mainly associated with the story of Jesus casting out demons and sending them into a herd of pigs which rushed down a steep slope and drowned in the lake. Segments of a temple and basilica, two amphitheatres, a bathhouse, a hippodrome and other important buildings have survived along with a section of paved road, complete with chariot wheel grooves. Gadara was noted for its rich intellectual life and as the birthplace of several famous philosophers and poets of the ancient world like the Cynic philosopher Menippus. It was the home of several classical poets and philosophers, including Theodorus, founder of a rhetorical school in Rome, and was once called “a new Athens” by a poet.

Umm Qais - Jerash (70 km approx.)

Jerash (Gerasa), is, without doubt, one of the most beautiful Roman cities preserved in the Near East, the city of 1000 pillars. After Petra, Jerash is the second largest tourist destination in Jordan. The ancient city of Jerash can proudly situate the beginning of its occupation by men to more than 6500 years. Conquered by General Pompey in the year 63 BC, it passed under Roman control and became one of the ten great Roman cities composing the Confederation of Decapolis. Our local guide will introduce you to his colonnades, temples, theatres, churches, cardo-maxims and other monuments.

Amman - Mount Nebo (approx. 40 km)

Meet your driver/guide at the hotel in the morning, and transfer to Petra via Kings' Highway Road - the world’s oldest continuously used commute route. It used to link ancient Bashan, Gilead, and Ammon in the north with Moab, Edom, Paran, and Midian in the south. The Kings’ Highway is first mentioned in the bible by name in Genesis 20:17 when Moses led the Exodus through southern Jordan, also King’s Highway connected Syria with the Gulf of Aqaba by way of what is now Jordan. On the way to Petra, you will visit Madaba, Mount Nebo and explore Kerak Castle.

Mount Nebo is located about 47 km from Amman and 10km from Madaba. It is believed to be the place where Moses lived out his remaining days and was viewed as the Promised Land. The first church in Mount Nebo was built at the end of the 4th century AD and marks its historical importance in the area. From a platform in front of the church, you can see a bronze memorial of a snake on a cross that symbolizes the serpent raised by Moses in the desert, as well as the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Mount Nebo offers a fantastic view of the Dead Sea, the West Bank, Jericho, the Jordan River, and on a clear day Bethlehem and Jerusalem. According to Christian and Islamic beliefs, Moses was buried somewhere in the mountain, although the exact place of burial is not specified.

Mount Nebo - Madaba (about 10 km)

Madaba is a small town in central Jordan located 33 km south of the capital Amman. It was an important early Christian station on the pilgrim’s route from Jerusalem to Mount Nebo via the Jordan River. This city is a gift among many churches which are decorated with mosaics, hence its name came from "City of the Mosaic". It is also known as the location of the "Madaba Map" at St. George Churches, which were built in the 6th century showing a depiction of Jerusalem and parts of the Holy Land.

Madaba - Kerak (90km approx.)

Whether you approach Karak from the ancient Kings Highway to the east or from the Dead Sea to the west, the striking silhouette of this fortified town and castle will instantly make you understand why the fates of kings and nations were decided here for millennia. The town is built on a triangular plateau, with the castle at its narrow southern tip. The castle is some 220m long, 125m wide at the north end, and 40m wide at the southern end where a narrow valley deepened by a ditch separates it from the adjoining and a much higher hill. Throughout the castle, dark and roughly-shaped crusader masonry is easy to discern from the finely-crafted blocks of lighter and softer limestone used in later Arab work.

Day 4: Petra

Kerak - Petra (180 km approx.)

The giant red mountains and vast mausoleums have nothing in common with modern civilization and are one of the greatest wonders ever wrought by Nature and Man. Although much has been written about Petra, nothing really prepares you for this amazing place. It has to be seen to be believed. Petra the world wonder, a UNESCO World Heritage Site is without a doubt Jordan’s most valuable treasure and greatest tourist attraction. It is a vast unique city, carved into the sheer rock face by the Nabataeans who settled here more than 2000 years ago.

Their presence turned it into an important junction for the silk, spice and other trade routes that linked China, India and southern Arabia with Egypt, Syria, Greece and Rome. You will visit the unique “Rose-Red” city of Petra, built by the Arab Nabateans who hewed their monumental tombs, palaces, temples and treasury from the desert rock’s sandstone in its’ natural hues of rose and gold. You will begin the trip on horseback for 700m to the entrance of the impressively narrow gorge that leads marvellously to the magical moment. There you can glimpse the Treasury, continue to the street of facades, the Royal Tombs, the Cardo, Temples, Churches and Museums.

Petra - Aqaba (approx. 150 km)

Aqaba is a combination of all the good things Jordan has to offer, including a fascinating history with some outstanding sites, excellent hotels and activities, and superb visitor facilities.

The Red Sea itself with its beautiful reefs combined with the amazing underwater life provides the main attraction for Scuba diving, snorkelling, swimming, sailing, windsurfing, water skiing, or just chilling out on the beach. The water is warm, the weather is perfect, and the facilities are second to none.

Full to the brim with epic scenery, ancient history, captivating cities and bucketlist attractions, Jordan is a popular tourist destination that offers its guests a true immersion into the charms of the Middle East.

While Jordan offers a variety of spectacular UNESCO World Heritage Sites, none are more beloved than Petra, a fascinating archaeological city that sits within a mountain gorge and features beautiful 'rose-tinted' stone. Frequently referred to as one of the seven new Wonders of the World, this architectural masterpiece is a must-stop spot on any tourist's itinerary in Jordan.

For those hoping to escape the arid climate of the desert, we recommend taking advantage of Jordan's coastline with a visit to the Dead Sea. Thanks to the incredibly high salt quantities in the water, here, you can float atop the waves, make the most of the natural minerals and their healing properties and enjoy a well deserved rest, away from the hustle and bustle of daily life!
