Itinerary
Arrive in Amman Fly to Amman and transfer to your hotel.
Visit Jerash, one of the best preserved sites of Roman architecture in the world. Explore the forum, nymphaeum, hippodrome, two theatres (complete with numbered seats!) and several temples. Free evening in Amman to visit the Citadel or simply relax.
After breakfast, follow your guide on a walk through the nature reserve along old paths into the mountains. You then continue your journey through Kerak, with its formidable Crusader castle and pass spectacular mountain scenery to the town ofWadi Musa, close to the entrance of Petra.
, you enter a single vast chasm and follow the dusty path between the towering walls of unending rose-red rock until you catch your first glimpse of Petra. You are free to explore the wondrous ‘Khazneh‘ or Treasury, climb to the monastery or mountain-top altars for spectacular views of the surrounding peaks, valleys and canyons below
This afternoon you continue south to Wadi Rum, through the vast parched landscape, passing the black ‘beit ash shar’ tents of the Bedouin. You explore Wadi Rum on a 4WD drive into the desert before visiting a Bedouin encampment.
Transfer to Aqaba on the coast of the Red Sea, where you have free time to relax or snorkel amongst the colorful coral reefs.
