Overview

What's this trip about?

    A crossroads for millennia, Jordan has faced endless waves of invaders, from ancient Romans to Ottomans and European crusaders. In their wake, these empires have left ornate churches, crusader castles and desert citadels, as well as the lost city of Petra. Our specialists return, time and again, to find the best ways to explore this timeless land. We can help you get away from the crowds at Petra, hike through the wind-carved wadis (valleys) of the Dana Nature Reserve, camp out under the desert stars or sip coffee with Bedouins.

Itinerary

Day 1 : Amman

Today you begin your journey by boarding your international outbound flight to Amman. Upon arrival at the airport you'll be met and driven to your hotel.

Day 2 : Petra

An early start this morning as it's around a five to six hours drive down the 5,000 years old King's Highway to Petra. En-route you will stop to see Mt. Nebo, with its spectacular views over the Dead Sea; the Christian mosaics of Madaba; and the crusader castle of Kerak. On arrival in Petra you will stay for two nights at your hotel.

Day 3 : Petra

Today you will enjoy a full day guided tour of Petra. Your private guide will be with you for around two to three hours, after which you have some time to explore further on your own. Although it is probably the highlight of your holiday, bring your walking shoes and be prepared for an inspiring but energetic day!

Day 4 : Amman

One day may not be enough, so you have extra time to explore Petra under your own steam. You will then be met by your driver for the 'fast road' up to Amman, where you spend the night. If you have the energy, do think about eating at Hashem's, for the best falafel in town!

Day 5 : International return flight

Your driver will meet you for the transfer to the airport in time for your flight home. Your return flight will arrive the same day.
