Itinerary

A timeless land where ancient ruins tell stories of civilizations past, vast deserts stretch beyond the horizon, and serene seas invite you to relax and reflect.

Arrive in Amman, Jordan’s vibrant capital, and transfer to your hotel. After settling in, spend the afternoon exploring the city. Visit the Amman Citadel for stunning views of the city and the Temple of Hercules. Wander through the bustling markets in downtown Amman, and make sure to stop by the Roman Theater, which dates back to the 2nd century AD. Enjoy your first dinner in Jordan, perhaps sampling traditional dishes like mansaf (lamb with rice and yogurt) or falafel.

Start your day with a visit to the ancient city of Jerash, one of the best-preserved Roman cities in the world. Walk along the impressive colonnaded streets, explore the ancient theaters, and marvel at the Hadrian’s Arch. Afterward, return to Amman and visit the Jordan Museum to learn more about the country’s history. In the evening, take a stroll through Rainbow Street and enjoy dinner at one of the rooftop restaurants overlooking the city.

Travel to Petra, Jordan’s most famous attraction. Arrive and check into your hotel before heading out to explore the site. Start your visit with the famous Siq, the narrow gorge that leads you to the Treasury, one of the most iconic structures in Petra. Take your time to wander through the ancient city, exploring tombs, temples, and amphitheaters carved into the red sandstone cliffs. If you’re up for it, hike up to the Monastery for breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding valley.

Spend another day exploring the hidden treasures of Petra. Start by visiting the Royal Tombs, and don’t miss the Temple of the Winged Lions. For a quieter experience, head to Little Petra, a smaller and less crowded site just north of the main Petra area. This site offers beautiful carved facades and can give you a different perspective on the ancient Nabatean civilization. In the afternoon, enjoy a relaxing break at your hotel or visit a local Bedouin market.

After breakfast, head to the stunning desert of Wadi Rum, known for its dramatic landscapes, towering sandstone mountains, and vast sand dunes. Take a jeep tour through the desert, passing by natural arches, ancient petroglyphs, and the spot where Lawrence of Arabia once camped. You can even enjoy a short hike up one of the mountains or take a camel ride for a unique desert experience. In the evening, relax at a Bedouin-style camp, enjoy a traditional meal, and gaze at the stars under the clear desert sky.

Travel from Wadi Rum to the Dead Sea, one of the most unique places on Earth. The Dead Sea is the lowest point on the planet, and its high salt content allows you to float effortlessly on its surface. Spend the day relaxing at one of the luxurious resorts along the shores, enjoying the therapeutic mud baths, or simply floating in the water. Don’t forget to take in the beautiful views of the surrounding hills and the Jordanian countryside. In the evening, enjoy a sunset by the sea.

Start your final day by relaxing at the Dead Sea and enjoying more time in the mineral-rich waters. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can visit the nearby Ma’in Hot Springs, where natural hot water flows down from the mountains into beautiful pools. Afterward, return to Amman for your departure. Depending on your flight time, you can take a last stroll through the city or visit one of the local markets to pick up some souvenirs.
