place Amman's Roman Heritage, Madaba's Mosaic Treasures, Culinary Delights in Petra

Greet the morning at Hashems, an Amman institution since 1956 with a regular patronage from Jordanian royalty. Here, indulge in a breakfast of freshly fried Falafel, savory Fuul, Arabic bread, and mint tea, embodying the soul of downtown Amman's culinary simplicity. 


Patrons leave with palates ready to explore the Roman remnants—the imposing theater and the Citadel, offering panoramic city views and historical treasures such as the Temple of Hercules and the Umayyad Palace. 


Journey onwards to Madaba, where a local house-turned-restaurant invites you for a homemade Mahashi lunch—zucchini and eggplants stuffed with rice and meat, an emblem of traditional Jordanian hospitality.  Post-lunch, witness the ancient art of mosaic at St. George Church, then ascend Mount Nebo, providing vistas of the Promised Land as once seen by Prophet Moses.

Transitioning from historical to natural wonder, the journey leads to Wadi Rum's lunar landscape. Enjoy leisure time, a camel ride, and the unique Bedouin Zarb dining experience: a blend of meats and vegetables slow-cooked in an earth oven, infusing smoky grace into every bite. 


As night falls, stargazing beckons, unmarred by city lights, completing your remarkable desert stay.
