What to expect

Day 1: Airport – Mount Nebo – Madaba – Petra
  1. 45m
    Day 1: Arrival in Jordan – Mount Nebo – Madaba – Petra

    Upon arrival at Queen Alia International Airport, you will be met and assisted by our representative before beginning your journey.

    Your first stop is Mount Nebo, the sacred site where Moses is believed to have viewed the Promised Land. Today, the mountain stands as an important pilgrimage destination and memorial site. Visit the Church of Moses, built by early Christians, and admire its remarkable Byzantine mosaics. From the summit, enjoy breathtaking panoramic views over the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and, on clear days, even Jerusalem in the distance.

    Continue to Madaba, known as the “City of Mosaics,” to see the famous 6th-century mosaic map of the Holy Land.

    After your visit, travel south toward Petra for overnight accommodation at a 4-star hotel.
  2. Madaba Mosaic Map
    45m · Admission ticket included
    Madaba, the 'City of Mosaics', stands perched on an archaeological site with more than 4,000 years of history buried beneath it. The quality and quantity of mosaic flooring has made Madaba one of the most prominent cities in the world for mosaics. St. George's Church houses the world-famous mosaic floor depicting a large mosaic map of Palestine. Centrally located on this mosaic floor is a detailed map of Jerusalem as it was during the sixth century AD. At the Church of the Apostles, at the southern entrance of the city, is a mosaic floor attributed to the craftsman Salamanios, depicting the sea, with the central figure of a woman encircled with a selection of creatures, vegetation and an inscription.
  3. Petra Kitchen
    3h · Admission ticket included
    The Petra Kitchen enriches a Petra visitors' experiences by offering nightly cooking classes and dinners, sharing authentic local cuisine in a casual, family atmosphere. Visitors work alongside local chefs to prepare dishes found on a typical family’s menu using fresh ingredients. No freezers in our kitchen. By sharing recipes and flavors we are presenting our history and culture to you and we encourage our guests to return home to share the tastes of Jordan with friends and family. Guests who join us for a multi-night cuisine course will share in food sourcing at the local markets and preparation with the chef to learn how dishes are assembled, from the earth to the plate.
Day 2: Petra – Wadi Rum – Dead Sea
  1. Petra
    3h · Admission ticket included
    Start the visit from the main gate of Petra to the entrance of the old city. The ancient city of Petra was built from 800 BC to 100 AD by Nabetean Arabs. In this era Petra was a fortress, carved out of craggy rocks in an area which was virtually inaccessible. In the first and second century, after the Romans took over, the city reached the peak of its fame. Petra covers an area of about 100 square km where over 800 monuments can be found. When shipping slowly displaced caravan routes, the city's importance gradually dwindled; it fell into disuse and was lost to the world until 1812, when it was re-discovered by the Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt. Today Petra is Jordan's number one tourist attraction, known as the 'rose-red city half as old as time'. The Khazneh (the Treasury) even starred in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
  2. Wadi Rum
    4h
    Otherwise known as Valley of the Moon, the landscape of Wadi Rum with its immensity, colour and awe-inspiring shapes creates an almost supernatural atmosphere. This was the setting for the film Lawrence of Arabia, and the actual location where T.E. Lawrence set his camp. His book "The Seven Pillars of Wisdom" was named after the seven natural columns varying in height located en route to Wadi Rum. Bedouin camps are evident in the Wadi, which is still home to a number of Bedouin families who welcome visitors with the hospitality and generosity that Bedouins are so famous for.

    Your lunch will be served under Bedouin Tent.
    Explore the desert with a 4x4 driven by a local Bedouin for 2 hours.
  3. Dead Sea Region
    12h
    After the tour drive to the lowest point on the Earth, the Dead Sea. At 400 metres below sea level, the Dead Sea is infinite in what it has to offer. Ever since the days of Herod the Great, people have flocked to the Dead Sea in search of its curative secrets. Due to high annual temperatures, low humidity and high atmospheric pressure, the air is extremely oxygenated, and the high content of oxygen and magnesium in the air make breathing a lot easier. With the highest content of minerals and salts in the world, the Dead Sea water possesses anti-inflammatory properties, and the dark mud found on the shores have been used for over 2,000 years for therapeutic purposes
Day 3: Dead Sea – Amman
  1. Dead Sea Region
    3h
    Free day at leisure till departure
