Jordan is an elaborate mosaic of biblical history that dates back to the times of Genesis. A well-traveled bridge between east and west, sea and desert, Old and New Testaments, this land east of the Jordan River that in ancient times was a designated place of refuge is the only area in the Holy Land that links the lives of Abraham, Lot, Moses, Job, David, Ruth, Elijah, John the Baptist, Jesus and the Apostle Paul. Reminders of their stories are everywhere in Jordan.

Be ready to encounter jaw dropping world wonder and exclusive experiences. Sleep under the stars, float in the Dead Sea and more while in Jordan.

  • Citadel of Amman (known for its grand dome)
  • The Roman Theater
  • and Amman Musuem
  • Old Market of Amman
  • Drive to Mount Nebo – An elevated ridge located in Jordan, approximately 710 meters/2329 feet above sea level. Mount Nebo is mentioned in the Bible as the place where Moses was granted a view of the Promised Land before his death.
  • Drive via desert highway to Petra (3 hr drive), upon arrival check in, dinner and overnight.

Meal (s) Included: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner (Beverages are not included)

For reference: On the edge of the Jordan Valley, you find Mount Nebo, the mountain where Moses showed the Israelites the promised land before he died. The capital Amman is called Ammon in the Scriptures, the capital of the kingdom of the Ammonites. On a mountain in this city, you will still find a proud citadel, which is said to have been built by King David.

Discover Petra – 7th Wonder of the World

Start your day with breakfast at the hotel. The tour guide will escort you to Petra, Jordan’s most visited tourist attraction.

Petra is a famous archaeological site in Jordan’s southwestern desert. Dating to around 300 B.C., it was the capital of the Nabatean Kingdom. Accessed via a narrow canyon called Al Siq, it contains tombs and temples carved into pink sandstone cliffs, earning its nickname, the “Rose City.” Perhaps its most famous structure is 45m-high Al Khazneh, a temple with an ornate, Greek-style facade, and known as The Treasury.

You will have a full day sightseeing in Petra.

Meal (s) Included: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner (Beverages not included)

Why is Petra one of the 7 Wonders of the World?

It’s renowned for its charm and ancient cultural heritage. Petra marks the achievements of an impressive civilization, the Nabataean Arabs, who perfectly carved the city into its mountains.

Journey to Wadi Rum

After breakfast, we’ll drive to Wadi Rum (1.5 hours), upon arrival you will have a jeep safari tour led by a Bedouin driver in Wadi Rum for 4-5 hours.

Virtually all the people living in and around Wadi Rum today are of Bedouin origin and, until recently, led nomadic lives, relying on their goat herds. They are resourceful, hospitable people who are largely responsible for developing Wadi Rum as a tourist destination.

Recognizing the unique natural and cultural history of Wadi Rum and the vital importance of tourism to the local economy, the government of Jordan declared Wadi Rum a protected area in 1998. With support from the World Bank they commissioned the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature, a national NGO, to prepare a conservation plan and build a team of local people to manage the area. This team is now under the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority and is pioneering ways to restore and safeguard Rum’s sensitive desert habitats from ever-increasing human pressure.

Check-in: Evening at Bubbles tents. Enjoy the evening under the stars.

Meal (s) Included: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner (Beverages not included)

For reference: The camp in Wadi Rum is right on the spot of the possible route of the Israelites’ exodus from Egypt, which Moses led.

Journey to the Dead Sea & Bethany

After breakfast, we’ll have a scenic (2-3 hour) drive to Dead Sea.

The Dead Sea, also known by other names, is a salt water lake, bordered by Jordan to the east and Israel and the West Bank to the west. It lies in the Jordan Rift Valley, and its main tributary is the Jordan River.

While in the Dead Sea area, you’ll visit the baptism site (Bethany beyond the Jordan – Al-Maghtas). This is considered by the majority of the Christian Churches to be the location where John the Baptist baptized Jesus of Nazareth. The site is a Christian place of pilgrimage.

After our time in Bethany, we’ll drive (back) to Dead Sea (30 minutes) to your hotel.

Check-in:  At hotel in Dead Sea (Kempinski Ishtar Resort)

Meal (s) Included: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner (Beverages not included)
