9 DAYS JORDAN CLASSICAL TOUR ITINERARY:
Day 1 - Amman - Arrival Day
Upon arrival at Queen Alia International Airport in Amman, you will be met by
our English-speaking local representative who will assist you with getting your
visa, retrieving your bags, and passing through customs procedures. (Visas are
$15 USD for all nationalities, paid in cash upon arrival). Afterwards, you will
be transferred by private car to your hotel. The rest of the day is yours to
explore the city. Overnight in Amman.
Day 2 - Amman - Desert Castle
(Breakfast included)
Your Jordan tour package begins with sites in Amman, a safe, friendly, and
modern city dating back thousands of years. Above the city, the ancient Citadel
watches over Amman as it reveals its past. In this city known in the Old
Testament as Rabbath Ammon and in Greco-Roman times as Philadelphia, you will
visit the Amphitheater and Jordan Folklore Museum as well as the Citadel
including the Byzantine Church, the Temple of Hercules, and the Umayyad Palace
complex. Later in the day, we leave Amman for a tour of the Desert Castles. Our
stops include Amra Castle with its zodiac dome adorned with early examples of
Omayyad fresco paintings, the mysterious fortress-like Qasr Kha-ranah, and the
black basalt Roman/Medieval Islamic fort at Azraq. In the afternoon we drive
back to your hotel. Overnight in Amman.
Day 3 - Amman - Jerash - Ajloun - Amman
(Breakfast included)
In the morning we leave Amman and drive north to Jerash, the best example of a
Roman provincial city in the Middle East. You will visit Hadrian's Arch, the
Hippodrome, the Colonnade, the Cathedral, the Jerash Archaeological Museum, the
North Theater, and the South Theater.
After Jerash we proceed to Ajlun Castle (Qal'at Ar-Rabad), built by Saladin's
general in 1184 AD. The strategic placement of the Castle helped control the
iron mines of Ajlun and helped to counter the progress of the Crusaders in two
ways: by dominating the three main routes leading to the Jordan valley and by
protecting the communications routes between Jordan and Syria. The castle is a
fine example of Islamic architecture and dominates a wide stretch of the
northern Jordan Valley.
At the end of the tour we travel back to your hotel in Amman. Overnight in
Amman.
Day 4 - Amman - Madaba - Mt. Nebo - Petra
(Breakfast included)
After breakfast we leave Amman and begin the drive toward Petra. The first stop
along the way is Madaba, where St George's Greek Orthodox Church houses a famous
floor mosaic from the 6th century AD. The mosaic illustrates the pilgrimage from
the surrounding areas to the Holy Land; you will be able to find Egypt on the
map.
Our next visit is to Mount Nebo, where you will find a memorial to Musa (Moses)
and a 4th-century church that Italian Franciscan priests excavated and restored
in 1933. The panoramic view overlooks the Jordan River Valley, the Dead Sea,
Jericho, and Jerusalem. As you may recall, the Bible tells that Moses never
reaches the Promised Land, but is able to see it from a distance before he dies.
It is from Mount Nebo that one can see these lands on a clear day, which leads
scholars to believe that this is the burial place of Moses.
In the afternoon we arrive in Petra and escort you to your hotel. Overnight in
Petra.
Day 5 - Petra City Tour and Short horse ride
(Breakfast included)
Today, you have the entire day to explore the Rose Red City of Petra. The city
is thought to have been first established in the 6th century BC by Nabataean
Arabs, a nomadic tribe who settled in the area and laid the foundations of a
commercial empire that extended into Syria. Despite successive attempts by the
Seleucid king Antigonus, the Roman emperor Pompey and Herod the Great to bring
Petra under the control of their respective empires.
Petra remained largely in Nabataean hands until around 100 AD, when the Romans
diverted to the north the caravan routes that had brought Petra its wealth. It
was still inhabited during the Byzantine period, when the former Roman Empire
moved its focus east to Constantinople, but declined in importance thereafter.
The Crusaders constructed a fort there in the 12th century, but soon withdrew,
leaving Petra to the local people until the early 19th century, when it was
visited by the Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt.
The approach to Petra is unforgettable, made either on foot or horseback through
the Outer Siq and then on foot through the Siq itself. The Siq ends in an open
space which is dominated by the Treasury, Petra's most famous building. A local
guide will give a brief history of the city. You will also see Pharaoh's Castle,
the Triumphal Arch, the Amphitheater and Monastery before returning to your
hotel. Overnight in Petra.
Day 6 - Petra Free Day
(Breakfast included)
Today is a free day to do as you like. You can continue to explore the lost city
of Petra on your own, or you can add one of our optional tours. Overnight in
Petra.
Day 7 - Petra - Wadi Rum - Agaba
(Breakfast included)
In the early morning we set out for the desert of Wadi Rum, the wild desert
landscape that fascinated the British officer Lawrence of Arabia, who described
it as "vast, echoing and god-like"; we believe he could not have said it better.
We drive for 2 hours in a 4-wheel drive jeep through the desert to see
Lawrence's spring. We pass majestic mountains and explore a gorge with ancient
rock drawings.
Afterwards, we return to our bus and drive to Aqaba. There, you will find
exceptional weather more than eight months of the year, allowing you to enjoy
sailing, water skiing, and swimming. Aqaba is home to some great reefs for
diving and snorkeling; you'll find the colorful and varied marine life of the
Red Sea here. We will arrange any activities that suit your interests. Overnight
in Agaba.
Day 8 - Agaba - the Dead Sea
(Breakfast included)
Today you will have a free morning in Aqaba to spend however you wish.
In the afternoon we will drive to the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth and
the largest natural spa anywhere. The Dead Sea is one of the world's true
natural wonders and a unique destination. At 417 meters (1,373 ft.) below sea
level, the mineral-rich waters and mud flows have natural health and beauty
benefits acclaimed globally. Recognized as a mini-universe with its own
microclimate, the Dead Sea is the saltiest and most mineral-laden body of water
in the world. The unparalleled buoyancy and warmth of the water has everyone
floating. Its health-promoting thermo-mineral springs and famous cosmetic black
mud have been praised by visitors for millennia. Relax and treat yourself to all
this unique place has to offer. Overnight in the Dead Sea.
Day 9 - the Dead Sea - Amman - End of the Tour
(Breakfast included)
Today is the last day of our tour, it's time to say goodbye with you. Regarding
your flight departure time, we will arrange your transfer to Queen Alia
International Airport in Amman for your international flight back home. We hope
your tour was a memorable one and we would like to see you in future in one of
our tours again. Have a nice trip back home and thanks for choosing TravelShop
