DAY 1 | Arrival in Amman
Welcome and assistance by our representative at Queen Alia airport; they will wait for you with a sign bearing your name and will assist you before going through border control and customs for obtaining the visa. You will then go downstairs to pick up your luggage. Once your luggage has been collected, they will accompany you to your driver who will take you to your hotel in Amman for the night.

Overnight stay in Amman

DAY 2 | Amman - King's Highway - Madaba - Nebo - Kerak - Petra
After breakfast, we say goodbye to Amman as we hit the King's Highway and head to south Jordan. On this road, we'll take in the beauty of the landscape while crossing olive groves, rural villages and agricultural lands.
We'll stop off in Madaba along the way to visit the Greek Orthodox Church of St. George, made famous by its Byzantine mosaic map of the Holy Land from the 6th century as well as other biblical sites. Then we'll head to Mount Nebo, the famous resting place of Moses, which offers a spectacular view of the Holy Land.
We will continue south before stopping at Shobak Castle, one of the fortresses scattered throughout Jordan that offers us a spectacular view of the surrounding hills and plains. At the end of the day, we leave for the Dana reserve.

Overnight stay in Petra

DAY 3 | Petra
A full day of exploring Petra will begin after breakfast

Today, we explore the renowned Nabataean site of Petra, capital of the former Nabataean trading empire until the Romans took power in 106 AD.

Petra is located on the edge of Wadi Araba, and one of the best ways to get there is to go through the Siq, a narrow and winding gorge crossed by the imposing walls of the canyon and the surrounding hills. Once in Petra, you will notice that there are very few independent buildings, as the Nabataeans preferred to carve their houses into the pink sandstone cliffs.

The guided tour takes you through the Siq before arriving at Khazneh, one of Petra's most elaborate temples. Discover how the Nabataeans carved their lands into the rocks and learn more about its spiritual significance.

We will also visit the old Roman ruins of the amphitheatre and the colonnaded street. We will be guided through the city and then you'll have free time to explore at your own pace. During this time, explore the steep and winding gorges to reach the striking monastery, the largest of Petra's sculpted monuments. It's a tiring walk, but the view makes it all worth the effort. If you still have enough energy, you can also go to Jebel al-Madhbah and the Lion Fountain.

Overnight stay in Petra

DAY 4 | Petra - Wadi Rum - Dead Sea
After breakfast, we start the day by exploring the beautiful desert and mountainous landscapes of Wadi Rum. Keep an eye out for the copper-coloured rocky "jebels" that fascinated Lawrence during his visits to the desert during the Arab Revolt, before becoming famous in the film Lawrence of Arabia. We will take a jeep safari through the stunning desert landscape where we'll catch a glimpse of the beautiful steep cliffs.

After this desert adventure, we head north towards the Dead Sea, one of the most spectacular destinations on the planet. Not only is it the lowest point on earth, 400 metres below sea level, but it's also considered one of the most spiritual landscapes in the world, teeming with spectacular natural wonders.

Many rivers flow into The Dead Sea, including the Jordan River. Once the waters reach the Dead Sea, they are cut off and have nowhere to go. So they evaporate, leaving behind a dense and rich mixture of salts and minerals that provides industry, agriculture and medicine with some of its best products.

The Dead Sea is flanked by mountains to the east and the hills of Jerusalem to the west, giving it an almost supernatural beauty. Although sparsely populated and serenely calm at present, the region is said to have sheltered five biblical cities: Sodom, Gomorrah, Adman, Zebouin and Zoar (Bela).

We will stop along the way to enjoy a dip in the extremely salty waters that offer a unique bathing experience. In fact, swimming isn't usually possible, and it's easier (and more photogenic!) to float sitting or lying in the water. Be careful not to get water in your eyes, as this could be quite uncomfortable.

Overnight stay at the edge of the Dead Sea

DAY 5 to DAY 6 or DAY 7 | Dead Sea
Day 5 to Day 6: Dead Sea

Breakfast at the hotel

2 free days to enjoy the peace and natural beauty of the Dead Sea.
