Day 2

place Amman / Jerash (Full Day)

After breakfast, we are heading to the beautiful and green north of Jordan to visit Jerash, just around 60 minutes from Amman, Jerash is a close second to Petra on the list of favorite destinations in Jordan and one of the best places to explore Roman civilization outside of Italy, inhabited since the Bronze Age, Jerash is known for the ruins of the walled Greco-Roman settlement of Gerasa just outside the modern city.


Later we go back to Amman to visit the Citadel, which is the highest hill in Amman and is the site of ancient Rabbath-Ammon. Occupied since the Bronze Age, We then descend to visit the Roman theater, which is the most obvious and impressive remnant of Roman Philadelphia and is the highlight of Amman for most visitors. 


Later we explore the downtown on foot where we visit the old souks, and shops, and maybe try a plate of Kunafa, which is a Jordanian pastry based on sweet goat cheese.  Overnight in your hotel in Amman.

Day 3

place Amman / Madaba / Mount Nebo / Wadi Rum

After breakfast, We take a 40 minutes drive south of Amman to visit Mount Nebo and the memorial of Prophet Moses and where he saw the promised land, later to visit the town of Madaba and the St George Church which contains the oldest surviving original cartographic depiction of the Holy Land and especially Jerusalem on mosaic.

 

We proceed for a 3 hours’ drive to Wadi Rum! In the valley of the moon, we arrive to the camp (and we bet you’re hungry by then) for a Bedouin specialty dinner: ZARB. What’s that, you may ask? Well, it’s a mix of meat like lamb and chicken, rice, potatoes and carrots, placed in a hole in the ground, which is filled with flaming coals. The hole is then covered, and after a few hours, the meat and rice are all smoked, steamed, and grilled, all at the same time!


After dinner, you can enjoy a night of stargazing since there is no light pollution in the area. Overnight in your camp in Wadi Rum.

place Petra / Dead Sea (Full Day)

After breakfast, we leave Wadi Rum and take a 90 minutes drive towards Petra! The crown jewel of Jordan and traveler’s ultimate destination! The Nabateans carved this city in stone with simple tools 1500 years ago, and nothing will prepare you for the beauty and the sheer size of Al Khazna! Mark my words when it starts peeking at you by the end of the Siq (the pathway to Petra)! After our visit, we drive back to the Dead Sea, for overnight.
