Experience the ultimate Jordan Tours Petra & Wadi Rum itinerary, combining history, culture, and adventure over eight unforgettable days. Your journey begins upon arrival at Queen Alia International Airport, where our English-speaking staff will assist you with entry formalities and transfer you to your hotel for a welcome dinner and overnight stay.
Start your exploration with the ancient city of Jerash, known as the “Pompeii of the East,” where Roman theatres, an oval plaza, and colonnaded streets bring history to life. Continue to the majestic Ajloun Castle, a 12th-century fortress built by Saladin to defend the region from Crusaders. Return to Amman in the evening for dinner and overnight accommodation.
Discover Amman, the modern capital with an ancient soul, on a guided city tour. Visit the Citadel, the Roman Theatre, and stroll through the vibrant old souks, learning about the city’s long history as Rabbat Ammoun.
No trip to Jordan is complete without visiting Petra, the rose-red Nabatean city carved into the mountains. Enter through the narrow Siq to reach Al-Khazneh (The Treasury) and explore temples, tombs, monasteries, and striking multi-colored rock façades. You’ll also have free time to wander and discover Petra’s wonders at your own pace.
Next, visit Little Petra, a historic caravan stop, before continuing to Wadi Rum. Here, enjoy a 2-hour Jeep safari across red dunes, towering mountains, and rock inscriptions dating back thousands of years. Overnight at a Bedouin-style desert camp, with dinner under the stars for a truly unforgettable experience.
Travel north to the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth, where you can float in mineral-rich waters or enjoy therapeutic mud treatments. The tour concludes in Amman, with opportunities for shopping, optional excursions, and cultural exploration. Finally, our staff will escort you to Queen Alia International Airport for your departure.

Reception upon arrival at Queen Alia International Airport in Amman, assistance with entry formalities, and transfer to the capital. Check-in at the hotel, dinner, and overnight stay
After breakfast, depart for Jerash, the Pompeii of the East.
Enter through the monumental South Gate and find yourself in a true Roman city. Walk through the Oval Plaza surrounded by columns, visit the Roman Theatre and the Byzantine Churches with their typical mosaic floors. Stroll along Jerash’s main street, called the Cardo, and visit the Nymphaeum.
You will be amazed by the wonderful acoustics of the theatre, which serves as the stage for the annual Jerash Music Festival. You’ll also notice how the Romans were able to build earthquake-resistant columns along the colonnaded street.
After the visit to Jerash, continue to Ajloun, an Islamic military castle used by Saladin’s troops to defend the region against the Crusaders.
Then return to Amman to explore the capital, once known as Rabbat Ammoun. Visit the Citadel, the Roman Ruins, and the Roman Theatre, located in the bustling center of the old souk.
Return to the hotel for dinner and overnight stay.
After breakfast, depart for Madaba, where you will visit one of the most spectacular churches in the world: St. George’s Church with its mosaic floor depicting the Map of Jerusalem. After the visit, continue to Mount Nebo, the place where Moses was buried. If you are lucky and the sky is clear, you can enjoy an extraordinary view of the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and Jericho on the other side of the Jordan River. Then continue along the King’s Highway to visit Shoubak and the magnificent Crusader castle of Montreal. Afterwards, proceed to Petra for dinner and overnight stay at the hotel.
After breakfast, depart for Petra. No visit to Jordan is complete without exploring the capital of the ancient Nabatean kingdom, Petra. The lost city of Petra, entirely carved into the rose-red mountains, truly challenges the imagination. The natural beauty of the mountains here combines with the culture and architecture of the Nabateans, who carved their theaters, temples, façades, tombs, monasteries, houses, and streets directly into the pink rock.
It is no wonder that UNESCO has included the city on the World Heritage List! Entry into Petra is through the Siq, a deep and narrow gorge that leads to Petra’s most famous monument: Al-Khazneh, or The Treasury. You may recognize it from the final scene of the film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
But The Treasury is just the beginning: as you continue walking, you will see hundreds of buildings carved into the rock, worn by time, with fabulous multi-colored walls. After the guided tour of the site, there will be free time for independent exploration before returning to the hotel for dinner and overnight stay.
After breakfast, depart for Little Petra. Unlike Petra, where the Nabateans lived and buried their dead, Little Petra was designed to host caravans coming from Arabia and the East, heading toward Syria and Egypt. To provide a stop after crossing the Wadi Rum, the Nabateans first carved small caves into the sandstone and later built larger structures to accommodate the numerous caravan travelers who stayed there.
Continue to Wadi Rum, an ancient passage for caravans carrying precious goods from the Arabian Peninsula northward to the ports of the Mediterranean. Its beauty is characterized by time-worn mountains, dry ancient lakebeds, and towering dunes of intense red color.
In this area, an Italian researcher, Professor Borzatti, discovered some of the oldest known alphabetic inscriptions, the Thamudic script, dating back 6,000 years. The desert is also rich in rock carvings and paintings in the famous “Valley of the Moon.”
Enjoy a 2-hour 4x4 Jeep excursion through the desert. Accommodation at a Bedouin-style camp, with dinner and overnight stay under the desert stars.
After breakfast, depart northward toward the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth at 423 meters below sea level. Enjoy a few hours of free time at the Dead Sea, which lies right on Jordan’s western border. The salty water, unusually rich in minerals, along with its therapeutic muds and natural hot springs, offers a true rejuvenation for body and spirit.
Continue onward to Amman. Dinner and overnight stay at the hotel.
After breakfast, enjoy a free day for relaxation, shopping, and exploring the capital. Dinner and overnight stay at the hotel.
After breakfast, meet our assistants at the hotel who will escort you to Queen Alia International Airport for your departure.
