Moving on to Day 2: Amman City Tour – Jerash – Petra

Start your day with a hearty breakfast at your hotel in Amman. At 8:00 a.m., your tour kicks off with a visit to Amman’s Citadel, perched on a hill in central Amman. This ancient site offers panoramic views of the city and a glimpse into its rich history. Next, explore Amman-Downtown, known locally as “Al-Balad,” where you can wander through bustling markets and ancient souks, very similar to what you would you see in Marrakesh. The highlight of this tour is the Roman Theatre, a testament to Amman’s historical significance when it was known as Philadelphia around 106 AD.

A short 45-minute drive takes you to Jerash, one of the best-preserved Roman cities. Here, you’ll witness the grandeur of Greco-Roman architecture and the enduring Arab traditions. If you’re lucky, you might catch a historical reenactment of gladiators and chariot races. After a 3-hour drive, you’ll arrive at your hotel in Petra. Consider attending Petra’s night show, a magical experience available on select nights.

Proceeding to Day 3: Explore Petra – Lunch in Petra – Wadi Rum

After an early breakfast, embark on an adventure through Petra’s Siq, a narrow canyon leading to the iconic Al Khazneh (The Treasury). This 45-meter-high monument, carved into red mountain rock by the Nabateans over 2000 years ago, is one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Enjoy a delicious lunch at Al Qantara restaurant in Petra before heading to Wadi Rum.

In Wadi Rum, join a 2-hour sunset Jeep tour to explore its multi-colored canyons, towering sandstone mountains, and dunes. Known as the Valley of the Moon, Wadi Rum has been a backdrop for numerous films like “The Martian” and “Aladdin.” End your day at the Wadi Rum Bedouin Camp, where you can relax and enjoy a traditional dinner under the stars.

Next up is Day 4: Wadi Rum – Madaba – Mt. Nebo – Dead Sea – Amman

Begin your day with breakfast at the camp before driving to Mount Nebo, a 4-hour journey. From here, you’ll have stunning views of the Jordan Valley, Jerusalem hills, and the Dead Sea.

Visit the Moses Memorial Church on Mount Nebo, which houses ancient mosaics and artifacts.

In the afternoon, drive to the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth. Enjoy a stress-free day floating in the saltiest body of water in the world and indulge in a mud bath with its renowned therapeutic properties. After a relaxing day, return to Amman for a farewell dinner and overnight stay.
