Fly to Amman, arriving the following day. On arrival, transfer to your hotel with the remainder of the day at leisure. (D)
Begin your Jordan adventure with a visit the Roman city of Jerash, known as the 'Pompeii of the East'. Continue to Ajloun, where we visit the 12th century castle overlooking the Jordan Valley. (B/L/D)
Head out of the city for a visit to some of Jordan's desert castles, which are beautiful examples of early Islamic art and architecture. Return to Amman and explore the old city of Amman, visiting the Citadel and Roman theatre. (B/L/D)
A visit to Mt Nebo, the site of Moses' Tomb, will leave you in awe of the ruined 4th and 5th century churches here, with their floors still richly decorated with mosaics. Continue to Madaba to visit the Orthodox Church of St George, famed for its mosaic map. Your evening ends in the town of Petra, where we'll enjoy an authentic Levantine cooking class with a local chef. (B/L/D)
Explore beautiful Petra, the Lost City of the Nabateans, carved directly from the pink sandstone cliffs. Surrounded by imposing mountains and approached through a deep, narrow gorge known as the Siq, Petra is a poignant remnant of the ancient world. Spend an afternoon at leisure. After sunset, we'll return to Petra and see the Treasury lit by the glow of over a thousand candles. (B/L/D)
Start with a visit to Little Petra before transferring to Wadi Rum, the Valley of the Moon. This wondrous desert is filled with ancient valleys, towered over by sandstone mountains. A comfortable 4x4 will whisk you into the heart of the wadi, where you'll follow in the footsteps of Lawrence of Arabia and hear the desert's long history. This evening, stay in a unique desert camp with en-suite private tents. (B/L/D)
Depart your luxury desert camp and head north for our final stop – the Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth and famed for its spa-like minerals. Your afternoon is at leisure to float in its super-buoyant waters before our farewell dinner. (B/L/D)
