Welcome to Jordan! Upon arrival in Amman, you will be met at the airport by your guide for a private transfer to your hotel (35km / approx. 45 mins). Standard check-in time at your hotel is 16:00. Overnight at Amman

This morning drive out of the city to Madaba (38km / approx. 45 mins). Madaba, otherwise referred to as the ‘City of Mosaics’ is best known for its collection of Byzantine-era mosaics. The most famous of these is the mosaic map of Jerusalem and the Holy Land which can be found on the floor of St George’s Church. Continue with a visit to Mount Nebo, one of the most important biblical sites where it is believed that Moses first sighted the Holy Land. A small Byzantine church was built on the site by the early Christians and has since been expanded into a vast complex. During his visit to Jordan in 2000, Pope John Paul II held a sermon here that was attended by over 20,000 people. Your final stop today is a visit to Shoubak castle (240km / approx.3 hrs.’). Perched on a rocky hilltop, this imposing fort was built by the Crusader King Baldwin I of Jerusalem in AD 1115 to guard the road linking Syria and Egypt — the old King’s Highway. It successfully withstood numerous sieges until it fell to Saladin's troops in 1189. Enjoy a wander around the remains of this old castle and admire the spectacular views across the barren landscape. After finishing your sightseeing tour continue with the drive to Petra (30km /approx. 30mins) arriving late afternoon.

This morning enjoy a guided tour around one of the world's most famous and awe-inspiring archaeological sites – the UNESCO World Heritage Listed ancient city of Petra. Start by entering through the Siq, a long and winding narrow gorge flanked on either side by soaring 80m high cliffs which will lead you to the breathtaking façade of The Treasury (AlKhazneh). The Treasury is arguably one of Jordan’s most iconic wonders and was featured in the film ‘Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade’. Spend some time exploring the city’s main highlights including the Roman Theatre, Street of Façades and the Royal Tombs. This afternoon is free for you to explore the vast network of hidden passages and fascinating tombs and palaces at your leisure. You may wish to climb up to the High Palace of Sacrifice which is located at the summit of the Attuf Ridge and offers spectacular views over the red sandstone landscapes of Wadi Araba. Or perhaps head to the Monastery, one of the largest monuments in Petra boasting an impressive façade measuring 47m wide and 49m high (please note this climb involves around 800 steps). This afternoon you will be transferred to your Dead Sea resort. (200kms/approx. 3 hrs.’). Enjoy a day at leisure at the lowest point on earth.
