Itinerary
Our representative will meet you at Queen Alia Airport, assist you with the visa process and take you to your hotel in the centre of Amman.
After breakfast, we'll head north to Jerash to visit the impressive Greco-Roman ruins, then continue to Ajloun to see the well-preserved Crusader castle used by Saladin before returning to Amman in the afternoon.
First stop is Madaba, where we'll admire the famous mosaic map of the Holy Land inside St. George's Church. Next, we continue on to Amman Beach on the Dead Sea for a few hours' floating in the super-salty water. We then head for Dana to visit the old abandoned village and the women's craftwork centre. We stay here at a hotel overnight.
After breakfast, we take off for a 4-5 hour scenic hike from Dana village down to Wadi Feynan, from where we will transfer to Rummana campsite for the night.
In the morning we drive to Wadi Araba for a few hours of hiking in the desert (or a jeep tour if you prefer). Afterwards, we'll continue to Little Petra to vista Siq al Barid and camp overnight.
After breakfast, we enter Petra by a little-known and picturesque path that brings us out near the Monastery. You will have the whole day to explore the marvels of the ancient city carved into the rock before camping overnight near the Snake Monument inside Petra.
A second day dedicated to discover Petra. In the afternoon, we'll leave though the Siq and the main gate and check into a hotel in town.
After breakfast, we transfer to Wadi Rum, where we'll explore the desert in a 2-hour jeep tour, visiting Lawrence's Spring, Al Khazali Canyon, some old inscriptions, red sand dunes and a natural rock bridge. We stay the night at a private Bedouin camp in the protected area of Wadi Rum.
A second day in the desert, including 5-6 hours of hiking with a Bedouin guide before returning to the Bedouin camp.
In the morning, we drive to Aqaba, where you can spend the day relaxing, swimming in the Red Sea or shopping in the souq in the city centre.
We stay the night in a hotel in Aqaba.
Spend the day as you wish in Aqaba: relax on the beach, shop or dive amongst the coral reefs.
After breakfast, depending on the time of your flight, you will have some free time before we drive you back to Queen Alia Airport in Amman to catch your flight.
