Highlights
  • Explore the World Heritage Site of the Roman Theatre
  • Capture the ancient beauty of Amman Citadel
  • Visit the ancient site of Jerash, a place of 1000 ancient pillars
  • Marvel at the beautiful rock-carved structures in Petra
  • See the desert landscape at Little Petra
  • Day 1: Amman - Jerash City Tour expand_more
    • Meet the tour guide at the airport (or hotel or any other desired location) and head to the downtown area for a visit to the Amman Citadel located right above downtown. The citadel offers ruins of many previous cultures and views of downtown that are breathtaking!
    • Visit the Roman Theatre, which is the second biggest on earth.
    • Walk to the Nymphaeum for a quick look. After that, it's time to join the locals at the fresh produce market.
    • Go to the Al Husseini Grand Mosque (1400 years old), the oldest mosque in the country, for a look.
    • Ride from downtown to the west of Amman to visit the new side of town, including the Royal Automobile Museum. 
    • After that, we will drive about 40 minutes to get to Jerash. Our visit to Jerash will last for 2 hours. Jerash is the most preserved Roman site. Antioch, Pompeii of the East, whatever name you choose, the city with 1000 pillars is an apple to the eye. If you think you have been amazed by Rome, this is a place that's more Roman and thus more amazing!
    • Head back to Amman to your chosen drop-off spot. 
  • Day 2: Visit Petra expand_more
    • Start early from Amman, heading to Petra to arrive there after 3.5 hours of driving.
    • Visit the site of Petra and enjoy a min of 8 hours tour of the site. The rosy red charm carved in the sandstone mountains of Wadi Musa is evidence of the connection between the old cultures. The city will have an effect on you like a child in a candy shop. The marvellous colours and atmosphere of the Siq are as if time stood still; you don't actually walk down the path, it's more like gliding, and as it opens itself wide to the site of the treasury, it will hit you like an Indiana-Jones-movie scene and a secret hidden for thousands of years, a sight like no other. Taking the steps up to the Monastery is long and tiring, but when you reach there, you can say "top of the world" and no less. A cup of tea at the view up there with the fresh breeze around sunset will be priceless.
    • Go to little Petra to complete the picture of the culture that built this amazing city. Discover a 4000-year-old winery and the drawings from before the clock started to tick. It is a must-see wonder of the world. 
    • Return to Amman in the late evening to end your tour.

Know before you go
  • Amman: The Roman Theatre is believed to be Greek of origin, but no matter, it was the place your guide would always start his journey from before heading downtown as a child. Maybe he just wanted to salute the ancient crowds before he headed into town! You will be able to smell the history before you lay an eye on it. Imagine the second biggest Roman theatre in the world among real Souqs. The arches and the shops are just lined up there, watching the citadel as it sits quietly on top of the surrounding hills; diverse is what you will find here. The guide will personally recommend one of those hole-in-the-wall eateries and some Kenafah for dessert to cap off your tour. Maybe go for a walk in Rainbow St if you are still eager to take in more of the city. Come to Amman and feel right at home!
