After breakfast, we depart for Jerash, one of the most spectacular Roman provincial cities in the Middle East. We walk along the colonnaded streets, explore the Oval Plaza, visit the Temple of Artemis, and climb the North Theatre for a panoramic view of the ancient city. Jerash offers a unique glimpse into Jordan’s Roman past, with remarkably preserved streets, temples, and amphitheatres.
We enjoy lunch at a local restaurant known for its authentic Jordanian and Levantine cuisine before returning to Amman.
This afternoon, we explore Amman, starting at the Citadel, which sits atop Jabal al-Qal’a, this ancient site contains ruins from the Roman, Byzantine, and Umayyad periods, including the Temple of Hercules and the Umayyad Palace. We continue to the Roman Theatre: An impressive 6,000-seat amphitheatre still in use today and lastly the Archaeological Museum & Folklore Museum which offers insights into Jordan’s history, from ancient artifacts to traditional costumes.

Day Three: Madaba, Mount Nebo, Shobak & Petra
We begin our day with a visit to Madaba, the “City of Mosaics.” Here, we explore St. George’s Church, home to the famous 6th-century mosaic map of the Holy Land, a priceless artifact of early Christian art. We then continue to Mount Nebo, the biblical site where Moses is believed to have viewed the Promised Land before his death. Enjoy breathtaking views over the Jordan Valley and the Dead Sea.
This afternoon, we make a photo stop at Kerak, renowned for its Crusader castle, before visiting Shobak Castle, a 12th-century fortress built by the Crusaders. Its strategic location and dramatic views make it a photographer’s dream.

We spend a full day exploring Petra, Jordan’s most iconic archaeological treasure and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Entering through the Siq, a narrow gorge flanked by towering cliffs, we are led to the awe-inspiring Treasury (Al-Khazneh).
We wander through the Street of Facades, the Roman-style Theater, and the Royal Tombs, before hiking to the Monastery (Ad-Deir), an incredible structure carved into sandstone cliffs, offering sweeping views of the surrounding valley.
Our tour guide will share the fascinating history of the Nabateans, Petra’s original inhabitants, who built this city over 2,000 years ago.

We then continue to Wadi Rum, Jordan’s “Valley of the Moon,” famous for its red desert sands and towering sandstone formations.
