Jordan

DAY: 1 - PETRA

• Welcome to Amman. On arrival, you will be met by our local representative. After freshening at the airport, we proceed to Mt. Nebo (site only as the church is closed down for renovation) a city mentioned in the bible as the place where Moses was granted a view of the promised. It's over 700m above the Jordan Valley and offers spectacular views of the Promised Land as seen by Moses. Next, we drive to Petra, one of the 7 wonders of the world and a UNESCO World Heritage site.

DAY: 2 - PETRA

• Today, we proceed on a day trip to visit Wadi Rum. Explore Wadi Rum on a 4×4 jeep ride into the Jordanian desert! Wadi Rum was best described by T.E. Lawrence as “vast, echoing and god-like”, and by the locals as “Valley of the Moon”. Also, enjoy a camel ride in the desert. (The Wadi Rum visit is subject to weather conditions and visit may be cancelled due to flash floods warnings and closure of the site by local authorities at short notice). Later, we drive back to Petra.

DAY: 3 - AMMAN

• Today, we check out of our hotel and proceed on a guided walking city tour of Petra. Enter the city through 1km long narrow gorge which is flanked either side by 80m high cliffs! Notice the dazzling colours and formations of the rocks. The site is massive and contains hundreds of elaborated rock-cut tombs, a treasury, Roman-style theatres, temples, sacrificial altars and collonaded streets. Petra is half-built, half-carved into the rock, and is surrounded by mountains riddled with passages and gorges. It is one of the world’s most famous archaeological sites, where ancient Eastern traditions blend with Hellenistic architecture. Next, we drive to Amman.
