Day 2: Aqaba – Wadi Rum

Day 3:  Wadi Rum – Petra Guided Tour

Breakfast, at the camp, the driver will meet you and continue the 2-hour drive to Petra for the site visit. This “Rose Red City” is the legacy of the Nabataean’s, an industrious Arab people who settled in southern Jordan more than 2000 years ago. Admired then for its refined culture, massive architecture and ingenious complex of dams and water channels, today Petra is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New 7 Wonders of the World. We will arrange your entrance fees and hire for you an English speaking site to start the tour of Petra for about 3 hours covering the main attraction of the site at the lower part. You and the guide will start from the main gate all the way through the Siq to visit the Treasury, Street of Facades, the Theatre, all the way down to the Nymphaeum and Qaser El- Bent.  You then have some free hours on your own to explore further places, such as the Monastery.  Dinner and overnight in Petra.

 

Day 4:  Petra – Kerak Castle – Mt. Nebo – Madaba - Amman

Breakfast at the hotel, the driver will meet you and continue to Kerak to explore its famous Crusader Castle built over the remains of earlier citadels some which date back to Nabataean times. The castle in itself is more imposing than beautiful, although it is an impressive example of the Crusaders' architectural military genius. The commanding view over the region is spectacular.  Next stop is Mt. Nebo to retrace the steps of Moses and admire the spectacular view of the Promised Land just as he did over 2,000 years before. It is very easy to feel that you have arrived at some place special. On a clear day Jerusalem, Jericho, and the Dead Sea can be seen. A memorial in Moses’ honor can be found at the entrance to the early Byzantine Christian church where Moses is believed to have died.  Continue to Madaba to visit the Church of St. George to view the oldest preserved mosaic map of the Holy Land. Madaba is most famous for mosaics and colorful, hand-woven carpets, but there is much more to see than that. If time permits, take the time to walk along the streets to see local craftspeople and artists crafting unique and authentic pieces of art. End the day in Amman with dinner and overnight.

 

Day 5:  Amman – Jerash – Ajloun Castle - Amman

Breakfast at the hotel, then continue to the remarkable Roman ruins of Jerash, so well preserved that you can almost hear the banter of the merchants and the creaking of chariot wheels along the cobblestoned streets. It was an extraordinary place in the days of Alexander the Great (332 BC) and was very prosperous - 20,000 inhabitants once lived here. With an English speaking site guide, explore numerous and breathtaking ruins of colonnaded streets, arches, temples and baths in a remarkable state of preservation and completeness.  After a short drive arrives at Ajloun to explore Al Rabad Castle better known as Ajloun Castle. Though looking like a Crusader fortress, it was actually built by the Muslims in 1184 as a military fort and to protect the region from invading Crusader forces. Continue back to Amman for dinner and overnight.

 

Day 6:  Amman City Tour – Dead Sea

Breakfast at the hotel, then the driver will meet you to start the Amman City Tour.  Towering above old city on Jabal Qala'a is the Citadel. This site has seen the rise and fall of most of the civilizations that have inhabited Amman for the past 7,000 years. It is most noteworthy for the Temple of Hercules, the Umayyad Palace, and the remains of a small Byzantine Church. At the foot of the hill lies the 6,000 seat Roman Theatre, built in 161 CE, and which too much amazement is still used for cultural events today.  Also, visit the Folklore and Archeological Museums.  Then we continue to the Dead Sea for an afternoon of pampering and relaxing.  Dinner and overnight at the Dead Sea.
