Your guide will pick you up from your hotel after breakfast and you’ll start a city tour of Amman. Amman was called “Philadelphia” as it was occupied by the Assyrians and then the Babylonians. So, today you’ll see that the appearance of the city represents the different multiple civilizations that ruled it in the past. You’ll visit the Roman theatre, Citadels, churches, and mosques in the city center. You’ll also have time to wander in the local market and enjoy observing people’s daily life before we continue to the modern part. Then, you’ll get a ride to Jerash's ancient city, where you can visit the spectacular ruins of the Roman Empire. Your guide will accompany you and give you an explanation while you visit the attractions like theatres, temples, fortresses, and castles while enjoying walking through colonnaded streets. You’ll be transferred to your hotel in Amman and rest.

There is also a museum you can visit and learn about the strategic role of the Dead Sea in the past. You can also enjoy meals, drinks, and snacks at the resort by the Dead Sea.

When you get there, you’ll continue by a 4WD to a campsite and enjoy a traditional meal for lunch. We’ll also visit the Nabatean ruins. You’ll have leisure time to enjoy the silence and beauty of the desert view. Your overnight stay will be in a wonderful dessert camp under a dreamy sky full of stars!

Accommodation: Grand Tala Bay Resort or Similar
It's time to get back to Amman. You'll have transferred to the airport based on your departure flight time.
Most likely, yes. Some travelers can obtain a visa on arrival (no longer available at the Wadi Araba border crossing). It is best to check the Jordan Tourism Board’s visa info page to determine if citizens of your country need to obtain a visa before arrival or if you can get one on arrival.
Jordanians are known for their warm hospitality, making Jordan not only a safe place to visit, but also extremely welcoming. Although there is unrest in other areas of the Middle East, Jordan is peaceful and often referred to as “the quiet house in the noisy neighborhood.” Of course, you should still take the usual precautions you’d take most anywhere you travel in the world: Leave the expensive jewelry at home, don’t flash wads of money, keep your valuables close by or locked in a safe, and don’t wander off alone at night. If you are traveling to the northern part of Jordan, be aware that you may be asked to show your passport at checkpoints and should not attempt to cross the border. The Syrian border crossings are currently closed and you will not be permitted near them (as of writing this in early 2018).
Absolutely! Jordanians tend to be very family-oriented, so children are welcome in most places. You can find more details on family travel in this article.
While you can visit Jordan any time of year, spring (March-May) or fall (September - October, though September and October can still be hot) are likely to be the most comfortable weather-wise. Summer can be unbearably hot and winter can be quite cold and rainy with shorter days and less light. If spring or fall travel isn’t possible, summer is the next best option — more sunlight means more hours to explore.
It depends. If you are on a budget, you can find affordable local meals — like a falafel sandwich — for a couple of dinars or less, and stay in budget accommodations, like hostels in Amman and Bedouin camps in Wadi Rum for around $20-30 per night. If you’d prefer more upscale dining options and creature comforts, you will find an array of restaurant options with extensive local and international menus in Amman. Luxury hotels in Amman, Dead Sea, Petra, and Aqaba run around $100-$300+ per night. There are mid-range options and lovely boutique hotels for around $100 per night. Whether you are traveling on a budget or planning to indulge, keep in mind that the typical cost per day for a tour is about $125-300.
Visitors to Jordan tend to travel by car — either self-driving a rented car or hiring a car and driver. Public transportation in Jordan can be unreliable and there are no trains. If renting a car, keep in mind that driving in Jordan may be quite different from driving at home. Drivers tend to be aggressive. In many places, there are no lines on the road, and even if they exist, people often ignore them. Road signs are not always posted and GPS may not be accurate. If you find driving in Jordan exhausting, ask our specialists about booking you a driver and guide so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the spectacular scenery. If you are traveling from Amman to Wadi Rum or Aqaba, you may consider a domestic flight from Queen Alia International Airport in Amman to King Hussein International Airport in Aqaba.
