Day 2: Wadi Rum – Petra.

We will depart Wadi Rum early this morning for Petra, one of the world’s most stunning ancient cities. The beautiful buildings and elaborate sculptures of the ancient Nabatean civilization will captivate you as you enter the site.
You will see the renowned Treasury, Royal Tombs, and Street of Сolonnades, which are all carved into the red sandstone cliffs. Read about the Nabateans’ history and culture, which flourished in this desert metropolis over 2,000 years ago.

Day 3: Petra free day.

Hike to the High Place of Sacrifice atop Jabal al-Madhbah on a free day in Petra to take in the stunning mountain landscape and views of the huge valley with its various monuments. Afterwards, pay a visit to the Petra History Museum, which houses a magnificent collection of ancient artifacts relating to Petra and the Nabatean civilization.
You will get the opportunity to ascend an old rock-cut staircase of more than 800 steps to one of Petra’s iconic landmarks, the Monastery. It was constructed as a Nabataean mausoleum in the third century and is similar to the Treasury in architecture but much larger (50m wide and 45m high). It gets its name from the crosses etched on the internal walls, which hint to its function as a church during the Byzantine period. Spend the night in a hotel in Petra.

Little Petra, Beer Al Araies, the Nabatean Markets, and Siq al Barid, as well as Nabatean Quest homes and temples, will be visited in the morning.Then visit the castle of Shoubak, which was known as Montreal during the crusades since it was the first fortress erected by the kingdom of Jerusalem on the other side of the Jordan River, and then travel to the village  of Dana, which gives a magnificent view of the Dana Natural Reserve.

Day 5: Amman – Jerash – Amman.

We will begin our day by seeing Amman’s tallest point, the Citadel. Several ancient civilizations, including the Romans, Byzantines, Persians, and Greeks, have occupied this historic location. The town was given the name Philadelphia by the Greeks, and the location changed hands multiple times until being taken by Muslims and renamed Amman.
The Archeological Museum, which houses 6,000-year-old Neolithic statues, a Dead Sea bronze scroll written in Aramaic characters, and ancient items of daily life such as pottery, glass, flint and metal tools, is also worth a visit, as is the Museum of Popular Traditions, which has five different galleries containing preserved pottery, costumes, mosaics, jewelry, and other artifacts from daily life.
We’ll go to Pompeii of the East – Jerash after seeing the wonderfully rebuilt Amman Roman Theater, which formerly accommodated 6,000 people and is now used for performances and concerts in the summer.
Jerash is a superb example of provincial Roman town layout, which can be seen all across the Middle East. Cobblestone lanes with colonnades, stately temples on hills, spectacular amphitheatres, wide city squares, baths, fountains, and enormous city walls with towers and gates define this style. Jerash is an extraordinary combination of Eastern and Western civilizations behind its Greco-Roman façade. Traces of the collision and interpenetration of two great cultures persisted in its architecture, religion, and languages – the Greco-Roman culture of the Mediterranean and the traditions of the Arab East.

Day 6: Amman – Desert Castles – Amman.

After breakfast, drive to Jordan’s eastern desert, where you will view Qasr Al-Kharanah, also known as Qasr al-Harrana, Qasr Kharanah, or simply Kharaneh / Hraneh. This enormous thick-walled construction, located in the middle of a large uninhabited plain, was most likely the inspiration for the ‘desert castle’ name and is undoubtedly the most picturesque of all desert castles.
Following that, we will visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Qasr Amra, which was erected between 723 and 743 by Walid Ibn Yazid, the future Umayyad caliph Walid II, whose influence over the region was increasing at the time. It is widely regarded as one of the most significant examples of early Islamic art and architecture. Azraq Castle is the last stop before returning to Amman today. It is a desert castle erected by the Romans in 300 AD, while the current building was completed in 1237 by the Mamelukes. Its strategic position in the heart of the Azraq Oasis was chosen with care; this area is the only source of water for approximately 7,000 square miles. The black-blue color of the basalt castle is its most noticeable characteristic.

Day 7: Amman – Madaba – Nebo – Dead Sea – Aqaba.

Following breakfast, travel to Madaba, which is notable for its mosaics from the Byzantine and Umayyad periods, mosques, churches, and archaeological sites. You’ll go to Greek Orthodox Saint George’s Church to see a massive Byzantine mosaic that is the earliest map of Palestine, but it also represents other areas including Jerusalem, Gaza, the Dead Sea, and the Nile Delta.
Your next destination will be Mount Nebo, where you will be able to see the Holy Land and the Dead Sea as Prophet Moses did. If the sky is clear, you will see Jerusalem, Jericho, and Bethlehem.
Afterwards drive to the Dead Sea, the lowest spot on Earth, where you will have free time to swim, float, and take a mud bath before returning to Aqaba in the evening.
