Jordan Essentials Tour

7 Days | Amman to Amman, Jordan | Seasonal

Spend seven days uncovering the highlights of one of the Middle East's most rewarding destinations.

Visit the Crusader fortress at Kerak before descending to the Dead Sea for a day of pure relaxation at the lowest point on earth. A compact itinerary that covers Jordan's history, faith, and landscape in one unforgettable journey.

ENQUIRE NOW

  • Arrive at Queen Alia International Airport, where your entry visa will be provided on arrival. Transfer to your hotel in Amman and settle in for two nights in Jordan's ancient and modern capital.

  • Head north to Jerash, one of the best-preserved Roman provincial cities in the world. Walk through the Triple Arch Gate, stand beneath the columns of the Temple of Zeus and take in the scale of the Roman Theatre, all remarkably intact after 2,000 years. Return to Amman for an afternoon visit to the Citadel, where the Temple of Hercules and the remains of a Byzantine Church sit high above the city's famous seven hills, with sweeping views across the rooftops below.

    Meals: Breakfast

  • Today's drive south takes in two significant biblical sites. First, Bethany Beyond the Jordan, the sacred site where Jesus is believed to have been baptised by John the Baptist. Then on to Mount Nebo, where Moses is said to have looked out over the Promised Land for the last time. Continue to Petra, the ancient Nabataean city carved into rose-red sandstone cliffs, and check in for the next two nights.

    Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

  • Spend a full day exploring the UNESCO World Heritage-listed city of Petra. Enter through the Siq, a narrow canyon that winds for more than a kilometre between towering sandstone walls before opening dramatically to reveal the Treasury, Petra's most iconic facade. Beyond it lies an entire ancient city to explore, from carved tombs and temples to a colonnaded street and a vast amphitheatre. Meals: Breakfast, Dinner

  • Pause at Kerak to visit its imposing Crusader Castle, built in AD 1142 and a key stronghold during the battles between the Crusaders and Saladin's forces. The thick stone walls and commanding position over the surrounding valley give a real sense of the fortress's strategic importance. Continue descending to the Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth at 423 metres below sea level, and check in to your resort for the night.

    Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

  • A full day at leisure on the shores of the Dead Sea. Float effortlessly in the mineral-rich waters, whose extraordinary salt content has made them famous for their therapeutic properties for centuries. Relax by the pool, book a treatment at the spa, or simply do nothing at all.
