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. Despite its turbulent history, Jordan today is a safe, stable country that’s easy to navigate, making a holiday in Jordan a good introduction to the Middle East. The country offers you natural wonders, too, including the salt-crusted shores of the Dead Sea, coral reefs in the Gulf of Aqaba, and the Wadi Rum desert, where monumental rock formations tower over deep-red sands.

Itinerary

Day 1 : Amman

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

Day 2 : Amman

Today you will be picked up from your hotel and driven north to the impressive Roman site of Jerash, where a local guide will show you around the ruins. You will also stop at the crusader castle at Ajloun before taking in the spectacular views over the valley below at Umm Qais.

Day 3 : Amman

This morning your guide will pick you up from the hotel and accompany you on a walking tour of the city. You'll visit the bustling souqs, the Husseini Mosque, the Roman Theatre and the citadel, which will give you a panoramic view over the city.

Day 4 : Petra

An early start this morning as it's around five to six hours' drive down the 5,000 years old King's Highway to Petra. En-route you will stop to see Mount Nebo, with its spectacular views over the Dead Sea; the Christian mosaics of Madaba; and the crusader castle of Ke...

Day 5 : 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 6 : Petra

One day is never enough to fully take in the wonders of Petra, so you have an extra day to explore under your own steam.

Day 7 : Wadi Rum

Today you travel from Petra to Wadi Rum, where you enjoy a jeep tour of the seven sites, before watching the sunset at your Bedouin style camp.

Day 8 : Aqaba

Travel to the coastal resort of Aqaba today. You have the rest of the day to enjoy beside the Red Sea.

Day 9 : Aqaba

Today you might want to arrange a treatment in the hotel spa.

Day 10 : Dana Nature Reserve

After breakfast you will be met and taken to Dana Nature Reserve, where you will stay at the Guesthouse tonight.

Day 11 : Dana Nature Reserve

This morning you will set off on a walk from Dana Guesthouse to the other end of Wadi Dana, ending at Feynan Ecolodge, where you spend the night.

Day 12 : The Dead Sea

The Ecolodge offers a number of traditional Bedouin experiences to local villages nearby, so you may wish to join a tour before travelling to the Dead Sea later today.

Day 13 : The Dead Sea

You have a day to enjoy relaxing at your Dead Sea resort, or floating weightless on the water, famous for its high salinity levels. You could also indulge in a massage or spa treatment at your hotel - the area is well known for its healing practices.

Day 14 : The Dead Sea

You could spend more time relaxing by the sea. Alternatively, visit The Dead Sea Panorama Complex set in the hills. Here, informative displays allow you to learn about the history and ecology of the Dead Sea.

Day 15 : International return flight

An early start for the transfer to Amman Airport in time for your flight home. Your return flight will arrive the same day.
