In a short period, you will discover among the most important Jordan’s highlights. The first day you will visit the impressive ruins of the ancient Roman city of Jerash and relax at the Dead Sea. The second day, from the Dead Sea, you will proceed to Petra, one of seven world’s wonders.

 

Day 1, Amman/ Jerash/ Dead Sea

 

Pick up in Amman. Depart Amman to visit the Greco-Roman City of Jerash, also known as the City of the thousand columns. Jerash showcases the grandeur of Imperial Rome (and is sometimes referred to as the Pompeii of the East). It is considered one of the largest, and most well preserved sites of Roman architecture in the World outside Italy. As the most pristine Decapolis City (meaning ten cities in Greek) in the modern world, Jerash’s prosperity can be admired in the colonnaded main street and lovely Oval Piazza. . Continue to Dead Sea. Overnight at hotel.

 

Day 2, Dead Sea/ Petra visit/ Amman

 

Breakfast. Depart the Dead Sea south to Petra for a full day visit of the city. We will start our journey to explore Petra, aptly described as the “rose-red city, half as old as time”. The ancient city was founded by the Nabateans 2000 years ago. Its massive architectural structure and its multicolored stones are an incredible attraction. The visit of the ancient Nabatean capital starts on horseback, followed by a walk through the Siq, a long narrow fissure between two overhanging cliffs. Towards the end of the Siq, you will be spellbound by Petra’s most famous monument; the Treasury. The tour then proceeds to gradually unfold the mysteries of the city. Return to Amman. (No accommodation booked).
