Itinerary

1. Day 1: Amman City Tour - Desert Castles

   • 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.
   • Later, head to Al-Azraq, a medieval fortress once used by 'Lawrence of Arabia'.
   • Delve into UNESCO-listed Quseir Amra, an 8th-century castle famous for its interior frescoes and dome zodiac painting.
   • Explore Qasr Al-Kharranah or Kharaneh Castle, a 12th-century hilltop fortress built to stave off Crusaders. 
   • Then back to Amman for an overnight stay.

2. Day 2: Visit Petra

   • 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.
