Itinerary
We will all meet at the airport in the morning and go through security together before boarding our flight to Amman.
Upon Arrival in the late evening we will take our private transfer to our hotel where we will be staying for the next 2 nights. We will be staying in 4* and 5* accommodations throughout the trip sharing twin rooms with en-suite. A room to yourself is available for a cost of £210 for the 7 nights.
After breakfast we will start by exploring Al Qastal Amman. The next stop today is the castle of Ajloun. The castle was constructed between 1184 and 1188 by the nephew of the Muslim military leader Saladin. Saladin fought against the Christian military during the Crusades in the 12th Century. The strategic location of the castle enabled Saladin’s army to look out across the Jordan Valley for invaders.
We will visit Hadrian’s Arch, The Hippodrome, The South gate, the Temple of Zeus, The temple of Artemis and a small museum.
The Roman City of Jerash is our final stop today. The ancient city of Jerash is one of the most popular attractions in Jordan behind Petra. It is one of the largest and most well preserved sites of Roman architecture in the world outside of Italy and its history goes back more than 6,500 years.
There will be a stop for lunch during the day (included)
Return to the hotel and enjoy dinner. For those that would like to this evening we will join our guide on a walking tour of Bazaar.
After breakfast and checking out we are heading towards Petra today.
First stop is a mosaic tour of Madaba, a city known for its mosaic map of the holy land.
Next is Mount Nebo, where we will be able to look out across the Jordan valley, the hills of Jerusalem and the dead sea.
This evening we reached our hotel in Wadi Musa, the nearest town to Petra. one of the “seven Wonders of the world”
Check into our hotel in Petra and enjoy dinner.
This really promises to be one of the most magical days you will ever have 🙂
Today is the day, put those walking shoes on! We are going to spend the day visiting the Ancient city of Petra.
We start by adventuring through the Petra seeq (Canyon) this can either be done on foot or we can arrange a short horse/golf cart ride for you, (not included) “Al Khazneh” was excavated into the red mountains by the Arab Nabateans more than 2000 years ago and is a truly impressive sight.
We can buy lunch today from outside Petra at one of the many shops close to the hotel so that we don’t have to leave Petra for an organised lunch and can maximise our time there. We have the whole day to explore the magical monuments.
Overnight Petra.
After breakfast we will explore the Petra Museum and enjoy lunch before departing for the “Valley of the Moon”, Wadi Rum, the most impressive desert in the world.
Upon arrival we will explore by means of a 2 hour jeep safari, visiting the naturally multicoloured canyons, Lawrence of Arabia’s house, the sandstone mountains and the dunes of Wadi Rum.
This stunning setting has been used as a backdrop in many films, “the Martian”- 2015 , “Aladdin” 2019 and “Rogue One” 2016 along with many others…..
This evening we experience Bedouin life staying in a Bedouin Camp in Bubble tents with dinner included. You can also take an optional camel ride (not included).

The Dead Sea is known to be earth’s lowest elevation on land and the deepest hyper saline lake in the world. Its harsh environment does not permit any plants or animals to flourish here.
On the other hand, it has extremely healthy and beneficial properties that have attracted visitors for thousands of years and today it will supply you with natural mud to spread on your skin putting skincare lotions to shame!
