Journey through Jordan

Fly to Amman, a history-soaked capital with a youthful feel. Transfer to your hotel in the city.

Today, enjoy a city tour followed by a drive to Jerash, an ancient Roman city known as the Pompeii of the East. Learn about the city's past and see its well-preserved Hippodrome, once the home of Roman chariot races. Continue to Ajloun, where we visit the 12th century castle overlooking the Jordan Valley.

Head out of the city for a visit to some of Jordan's desert castles, which are beautiful examples of early Islamic art and architecture. Return to Amman and explore the old city of Amman, visiting the Citadel and Roman theatre.

Today you will make your way to Mount Nebo, the Biblical site from which Moses was granted a view of the Holy Land. Here, explore the ruins of 4th and 5th-century churches and admire their marvellously intricate mosaics. Continue to the town of Madaba where you will visit the Orthodox Church of St George and the Madaba Mosaic Map, the oldest surviving depiction of the Holy Land.



Travel to Petra, which is sure to be one of many memorable highlights of this tour. Tonight, enjoy a Levantine cooking class with a local chef.

This morning, explore the beauty of this Lost City of the Nabateans, carved directly from the pink sandstone cliffs. Surrounded by imposing mountains and approached through a deep, narrow gorge known as the Siq, Petra stands as one of the most unique and unforgettable cities of the ancient world. Enjoy an afternoon at leisure before returning to Petra after sunset, when you'll see the Treasury lit by the glow of over 1,500 candles.

Start with a visit to Little Petra before transferring to Wadi Rum, the Valley of the Moon. Embark on a 4x4 adventure through the desert, where you'll discover ancient valleys and towering sandstone mountains rising out of white and pink coloured sands. Explore Lawrence's Road, drive among sand dunes and canyons and venture through the dry oasis, exploring the most interesting and exciting sites of Wadi Rum. This evening, you will stay in a unique desert camp with en-suite private tents.

Check out of your desert camp in Wadi Rum this morning and head north to the Dead Sea - the lowest point on Earth. After lunch, you are free to enjoy the delights of the Dead Sea. Float in its super-buoyant waters, or perhaps visit the hotel spa for a rejuvenating treatment.

Transfer one hour from your Dead Sea hotel to Amman airport for your flight home.
