You will arrive at Queen Alia International Airport in Amman, where you will be met by our travel rep who will help with immigration. From here you will be transferred to your hotel in Amman, the capital city of Jordan.

Amman, the capital of Jordan and one of the oldest cities in the world is a fascinating city. With a unique blend of old and new, ideally situated on a hilly area between the desert and fertile Jordan Valley.
In the commercial heart of the city, ultra-modern buildings, hotels, smart restaurants, art galleries and boutiques rub shoulders comfortably with traditional coffee shops and tiny artisans’ workshops. However, there is still evidence of the city’s much older past.

Overnight in Amman

After breakfast we will head out on a historical tour.

Jerash will be your first stop. The Greco-Roman city known as the ‘Pompeii of the East’. Built over 2,000 years ago, Jerash is widely regarded as the best-preserved city of the Decapolis, a confederation of 10 Roman cities dating from the 1st century! We’ll explore the site taking in the colonnaded street, amphitheater and more.

The walk will include parts of the Jordan Trail and take you through one of Jordan hidden forest trails, Wadi Zubia. With high rolling hills of the North and some of the oldest Olive trees in the region, this hike is not one to miss.

Overnight at Petra

The ancient city of Petra is one of Jordan’s national treasures and by far its best known tourist attraction. Petra is the legacy of the Nabateans, industrious Arab people who settled in Southern Jordan more than 2,000 years ago. Admired then for its refined culture, massive architecture and creative complex of dams and water channels, Petra is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Much of Petra’s appeal comes from its spectacular setting deep inside a narrow desert gorge.

We will discover the site through Petra back door. This is an adventurous trail that begins with a 20min drive to the area called Little Petra. This served as the trading post for the main site of Petra. We will begin with a 2hr hike through Little Petra and its beautiful surrounding mountains , until you reach the Monastery. Take in the vast size and detail of this incredible building before continuing through to the main site of Petra exiting from the main gate

After breakfast, depart to Wadi Rum (2hr drive). You will be met by your Bedouin guide and board 4 x 4’s to take you further into the desert. We will board the 4 x 4’s and explore the desert by jeep for 4hrs. You will have a traditional cooked lunch and watch the sunset before heading to your camp.

Check in to the camp and enjoy dinner and overnight in Wadi Rum.

Two camp options:
-Wild camping in the desert independently (Tents, sleeping bags and mattress). You will be alone with your desert guide.
– Fixed tourist camp with other tourists, Rahayeb Desert camp or Wadi Rum Nights

Overnight in Wadi Rum

After breakfast, you get the chance to ride a camel in the desert! Sit back and relax as the sun continues to rise and you can really appreciate the incredible scenery of the Wadi Rum desert.

Optional Snorkelling Activity:
Discover the coral and the underwater fish life in the Red Sea as you endeavour on a 3 hour snorkelling excursion. This will include transfers, towels and a lunch on the boat.

If snorkelling isn’t your cup of tea, then you should definitely look in at the “Souk By The Sea”. It is an outdoor craft centre and bazaar that was started in 2011 as a community development scheme to keep money in the local hands. It is a lively affair that is run in the middle of Aqaba every Friday evening (except in summer).

You will have breakfast at the hotel before your transfer to the King Hussein Airport in Aqaba where you will depart.
