Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 Amman
  • Once you arrive in Amman, you'll be met at the airport and transferred to your hotel.
  • The rest of the day is yours to spend at leisure.
  • Overnight - Amman
  • Today we tour Jerash, arguably the world’s best-preserved Roman provincial city, with whisper-perfect acoustics in the South Theater, chariot-wheel marks in the paving stones of the Cardo and an exciting chariot race in the 2,000-year-old Hippodrome.
  • Drive on to Umm Qais (Biblical Gadara) to visit a dramatic black-basalt Roman Decapolis city featuring great views over the Sea of Galilee and the Golan Heights.
  • Later on, we return to Amman
  • Overnight - Amman (B)
  • After a quick visit to the Citadel and Archaeological Museum, we’ll walk through the bustling local souk to enjoy typical Jordanian street treats of felafel and hummus at the country’s most popular local street stand.
  • As the pictures on the wall will prove, the unglamorous food stand was a great favourite of the late King Hussein!
  • Leaving Amman, we’ll stop first at Mt. Nebo, the site from which Moses saw the Promised Land. The amazing panorama includes the Jordan River Valley, Dead Sea, Jericho and the spires and domes of the Mt. of Olives and Bethlehem on the Judean hills just across the wide valley.
  • Your next port of call will be one of Jordan’s World Heritage Sites at Um ar-Rasas, once an important stop on the busy caravan routes. The impressive mosaic floor of the St. Stephen Church features medallions commemorating all the early Christian pilgrimage sites of the region, and the extensive ruins also include one of the area’s earliest Stylite towers, where a Byzantine hermit lived atop the tower and preached to the pilgrimage visitors.
  • You’ll make a late afternoon stop at the Shobak Crusader Castle (Mont Real) en route to Petra for the night.
  • Overnight - Petra (B)
  • Begin the day with a walk through the mysterious mile-long Siq, the narrow gorge with towering sandstone walls which leads into the ancient capital city of the Nabatean trading empire.
  • Explore the Khazneh (the temple of Indiana Jones fame), Theater, Colonnaded Street and Museum.
  • After lunch, climb to ad-Deir (the Monastery), Petra’s largest carved façade.
  • Want to learn how to cook Middle Eastern food? Consider opting for our Petra Kitchen bolt-on tonight!
  • Overnight - Petra (B)
  • This morning we have the opportunity to join our guide for a return to Petra along the “secret way” of al-Madras, with visits to the High Place of Sacrifice and Wadi Rum.
  • Mid-day stop in the Wadi Musa souk to pick up shawarma sandwiches or fruit and veggie snacks from the local produce souk before making the scenic drive to Wadi Rum.
  • We make a late afternoon Jeep tour of this moonscape desert terrain, arriving to our remote campsite deep in the heart of the Wadi Rum Protected Area.
  • See out the old year at a Bedouin party featuring folkloric dancing, Bedouin musicians, hands-on demonstrations of traditional Bedouin coffee and bread making, fireworks and more, along with a lavish buffet dinner and a champagne toast at midnight.
  • Overnight - Wadi Rum (B, D)
  • Hotel check-out and included onward departure.
  • Transfer to Amman's Queen Alia airport. (B)
