The itinerary

Upon arrival at Amman Queen Alia International Airport, our airport representative will wait for you, assist you with visa procedures, and help you through customs.

Day 02

Amman City Tour, Jerash and Ajloun Castle

At about 09:00 am, our car representative will meet you in the lobby and bring you the car. After that, you can start your tour and enjoy a city tour of Amman to visit the Citadel and the Roman Theater.

After the city tour, you will drive towards the old Roman city of Jerash, one of the best-preserved Roman provincial cities. After visiting Jerash, there will be time to visit Ajlun Castle. Overnight stay at the 3* Larsa Hotel in Amman. Breakfast included.

Day 04

Full-Day Exploration of Petra

Enjoy a full day exploring one of the Seven Wonders of the World. A private English-speaking guide from the Visitor Center for a 2-3 hour city tour would cost 50 JOD in total, not per person.

After visiting the Siq, Treasury, Street of Facades, Theatre, and Colonnaded Street, you will still have time to see the Monastery or the High Place of Sacrifice. It involves a lot of climbing, but it is worth it for the views. Breakfast is included, with an overnight stay at the 3* La Maison Hotel in Petra.

5
Day 05

Petra to Wadi Rum Desert Adventure

After breakfast, drive to the Wadi Rum Visitors Centre. Today you have a 4-hour jeep tour, including a freshly prepared barbeque lunch, and before the jeep tour you can decide whether to enjoy a one-hour camel ride from Wadi Rum Village to Lawrence's Spring.

A jeep tour is the best way to discover many sites in Wadi Rum. The jeep will stop at each site, giving you time to walk or scramble around and maybe even climb some of the beautiful naturally formed bridges in Wadi Rum.

Dinner and overnight at Mazayen campsite in Wadi Rum.
