    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. Called castles because of their imposing stature, the desert complexes actually served various purposes as caravan stations, agriculture and trade centers, resort pavilions and outposts that helped distant rulers forge ties with local Bedouins. This is followed by a tour of Jordan’s modern capital, Amman. Amman, often referred to as the ‘white city’ due to its facade of white limestone buildings and houses, offers a variety of historical sites. There are a number of renovations and excavations taking place that have revealed remains from the Neolithic period, as well as from the Hellenistic and late Roman to Arab Islamic Ages. Visit the Citadel which houses many structures such as the Temple of Hercules, the Umayyad Palace and a Byzantine Church. At the foot of the Citadel lies the 6,000 seat Roman Theatre, which is a deep-sided bowl carved into the hill and is still being used for cultural events. Another newly restored theatre is the 500-seat Odeon that is used for concerts. You will also pay a visit to the Jordan Archaeological Museum and the Folklore Museum, located within the above two sites, to get a further glimpse of history and culture. Return to hotel in Amman for overnight. 

  • Day 3 Amman – Jerash - Ajloun - Amman

    Amman – Jerash - Ajloun - Amman

    After breakfast, a full-day visit begins with Jerash, known as 'the Jewel of the North.' It is one of the largest and best-preserved examples of Roman architecture in the world outside of Italy. Often ranked closely behind Petra in the list of favorite Jordanian destinations, the ancient city of Jerash showcases a continuous history of human occupation spanning over 6,500 years. Its golden age occurred under Roman rule, and it is now widely recognized as one of the world's most intact Roman provincial towns. For many centuries, the city was buried under the sand, but it has been excavated and restored over the last seventy years. Jerash offers a beautiful exposition of the grand, formal provincial Roman style of urban planning seen throughout the Middle East, characterized by paved colonnaded streets, majestic hilltop temples, attractive theaters, expansive public squares and plazas, baths, fountains, and city walls interspersed with towers and gates. The tour will continue with a visit to Ajloun Castle before driving back to the hotel in Amman for a restful overnight stay. 

  • Day 4 Amman - Iraq El Amir - Dead Sea - Amman
    discover-jordan-04
    Amman - Iraq El Amir - Dead Sea - Amman

    After breakfast, the entire day is dedicated to exploring Iraq El Amir, followed by a visit to the Dead Sea. This location is recognized as one of the most remarkable natural and spiritual landscapes across the globe, situated at the lowest point on Earth. Undeniably, the Jordan Rift Valley, where the Dead Sea is more than 400m below sea level, can be considered one of the world's most awe-inspiring places.

    This enormous body of water is the convergence point for several rivers, the River Jordan being one of them. These waters, once they enter the Dead Sea, become land-locked and have no escape route, causing them to evaporate. Consequently, a concentrated mixture of salts and minerals is left behind. These substances provide some of the most crucial components for various industries, including agriculture and medicine.

    A unique beauty is added to the Dead Sea due to the mountains flanking it to the east and the rolling hills of Jerusalem to the west. This results in a scenic view that is nothing short of other-worldly. Even though the area is scarcely populated and remarkably peaceful now, it holds historical significance for being the home to five biblical cities: Sodom, Gomorrah, Adman, Zebouin, and Zoar (also known as Bela).

    The day concludes with a return to the hotel in Amman for an overnight stay. 

  • Day 5 Amman – Madaba - Mount Nebo – Kerak – Petra
    discover-jordan-05
    Amman – Madaba - Mount Nebo – Kerak – Petra

    After breakfast, drive along the 2000 year old Kings Highway; the ancient road mentioned in the Bible, which links prehistoric villages from the Stone Age and 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 and other biblical sites 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, which links prehistoric villages from the Stone Age, and biblical towns, to arrive at Kerak, the magnificent Crusader Castle built in the 12th century AD, which is situated on a hilltop about 1000 meters above sea level and surrounded by a valley on three sides. Kerak has been inhabited since at least the Iron Age, and was an important city for the Moabites. Proceed to Petra for overnight. 

  • Day 6 A day visit of Petra – Wadi Rum
    discover-jordan-06
    A day visit of Petra – Wadi Rum

    After breakfast, a full day visit of the “Rose Red City” of Petra - a treasure of the ancient world. Celebrating in 2012 the 200th year of its rediscovery, 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. In 1985 Petra was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Begin your visit by enjoying a walk or a short horse ride from Petra’s main entrance to the entrance of the old city through the “Siq”, which is a 1210 meters 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-colored rocks and sandstones. Petra was an important junction for the silk, spice and other trade routes that linked the Eastern world with that of the West. Indulge yourself, and allow our professional guide to 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, 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 an experience unlike anything else of a lifetime!! Where you can also experience the joy of sleeping under the stars and the food tasting which reflected the true Bedouin generosity and local hospitality. 

  • Day 7 Wadi Rum – Amman
    discover-jordan-07
    Wadi Rum – Amman

    After breakfast, you will join the group to the Wadi Rum visit, 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. Climbers are especially attracted to Wadi Rum because of its sheer granite and sandstone cliffs, while hikers enjoy its vast empty spaces. Wadi Rum is probably best known because of its connection with the enigmatic British officer T.E. Lawrence, who was based here during the Great Arab Revolt of 1917-18. Much of David Lean’s Lawrence of Arabia was filmed in Wadi Rum. , Return to Amman for overnight.
