You will be met on arrival at Queen Alia International Airport and transferred to your hotel in Amman. Overnight stay in Amman.
DAY 2: AMMAN - DESERT CASTLES - AMMAN CITY TOUR
After breakfast, begin your full-day tour with a visit to some spectacular early Islamic art complexes, the Desert Castles. Jordan's Desert Castles, beautiful examples of both early Islamic art and architecture, stand testament to a fascinating era in the country's rich history. Their fine mosaics, frescoes, stone and stucco carvings and illustrations, inspired by the best in Persian and Graeco-Roman traditions, tell countless stories of life as it was during the 8th century.
This is followed by a tour of Jordan’s modern capital, Amman. Often referred to as the ‘white city’ due to its facade of white limestone buildings and houses, Amman offers a variety of historical sites. Explore the Citadel which houses many structures such as the Temple of Hercules, the Umayyad Palace and a Byzantine Church. Pay a visit to the Jordan Archaeological Museum and the Folklore Museum, and get a further glimpse of history and culture.
Return to hotel in Amman for overnight.
Day 3: Amman – Jerash - Ajloun - Amman
After breakfast, begin a full-day visit starting with Jerash, ‘the Jewel of the North’ - one of the largest and most well-preserved sites of Roman architecture in the world outside Italy. A close second to Petra on the list of favourite destinations in Jordan, the ancient city of Jerash boasts an unbroken chain of human occupation dating back more than 6,500 years.
The city's golden age came under Roman rule, and the site is now generally acknowledged as one of the world's best-preserved Roman provincial towns. Discover how Jerash reveals a fine example of provincial Roman urbanism, as you roam the paved and colonnaded streets, soaring hilltop temples, grand theatres, imposing public squares and plazas, baths, fountains and city walls presided over by towers and gates.
Continue to Ajloun Castle for a visit before your return to your hotel in Amman for overnight.
DAY 4: AMMAN - IRAQ EL AMIRE - DEAD SEA - AMMA
After breakfast, embark on a full day of visiting Iraq El Amir, and the Dead Sea, one of the most spectacular natural and spiritual landscapes in the world (and the lowest point on Earth)! Jordan Rift Valley is a dramatic, beautiful landscape, which at the Dead Sea, is over 400m below sea level. Flanked by mountains to the east and the rolling hills of Jerusalem to the west, the Dead Sea has an almost other-worldly beauty. Although sparsely populated and serenely quiet now, the area is believed to have been home to five Biblical cities: Sodom, Gomorrah, Adman, Zebouin and Zoar (Bela).
Return to the hotel in Amman for overnight.
Day 5: Amman – Madaba - Mount Nebo – Kerak – Petra
After breakfast, drive along the 2000-year-old Kings Highway; the ancient road which links prehistoric villages from the Stone Age to biblical towns. Stop at Madaba, ‘The City of Mosaics’; 30km south of Amman. Visit the town’s main attraction, the Greek Orthodox Church of St. George where the famous 6th Century Byzantine mosaic map of the Holy Land is found.
Proceed to Mt. Nebo, known as the burial place of Prophet Moses. The mountain, which rises to 840m altitude, offers a spectacular view of the Holy Land. Continue driving via the Kings Highway to arrive at Kerak, the magnificent Crusader Castle built in the 12th century AD. Situated on a hilltop about 1000 meters above sea level, Kerak is surrounded by a valley on three sides and has been inhabited since at least the Iron Age.
Proceed to Petra for overnight.
DAY 6: PETRA - WADI RUM
After breakfast, you will venture to the “Rose Red City” of Petra - a treasure of the ancient world. The ancient Nabatean city of Petra was recently voted as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. It is without a doubt Jordan’s most valuable treasure and greatest tourist attraction. Begin your visit of this celebrated UNESCO World Heritage Site by enjoying a walk or a short horse ride from Petra’s main entrance to the old city through the “Siq”, a 1210 metre-long narrow canyon. As you reach the end of the Siq, the first and greatest monument of Petra slowly comes into view - this is the famous Treasury monument “Al Khazneh”.
Petra is an extraordinary and unique place, which was built by the Arab Nabatean more than 2000 years ago. The Nabatean carved their monumental tombs, palaces, temples and treasury from the desert’s natural rose-coloured rocks and sandstones. An important junction for the silk, spice and other trade routes, Petra linked the Eastern world with that of the West. A professional guide will walk you through the architectural and spiritual wonders of this majestic place, explaining every detail.
Just 2 hours’ drive south of Petra, a unique experience at the most magnificent place on earth awaits you! Jordan’s Wadi Rum is one of the world’s most beautiful deserts, filled with magnificent rose sandstone mountains, canyons & dunes.
Wadi Rum Overnight is a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Sleep under the stars and tuck into delicious food which reflects the true Bedouin generosity and local hospitality of the region.
Day 7: Wadi Rum – Amman
After breakfast, you will join a group visit to Wadi Rum, Jordan’s vast and echoing desert, for a 4x4 jeep ride. Stunning in its natural beauty, Wadi Rum epitomizes the romance of the desert. With its "moonscape" of ancient valleys and towering sandstone mountains rising out of the sand, Wadi Rum is also home to several Bedouin tribes who live in scattered camps throughout the area.
Return to Amman for overnight.
DAY 8: DEPARTURE
After breakfast, transfer to Q.AI Airport for your flight home!

Jordan
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, take advantage of Jordan's coastline with a visit to the Dead Sea. Thanks to the incredibly high salt quantities in the water, you can float atop the waves, make the most of the natural minerals and their healing properties and enjoy a well deserved rest!
