Petra Express

Welcome to Jordan! Our representative will greet you upon arrival and assist you to your hotel for dinner & overnight. (D)

After breakfast, we’ll leave bustling Amman and head for the Byzantine era sites of Madaba and Mount Nebo, famed for the ancient mosaics preserved there. Of the wondrous floors populated with animals, plants and people, none will prepare you for the “Madaba Map”, an intricately detailed picture of the surrounding area as it appeared 1500 years ago. In the afternoon we’ll journey south to Kerak and it’s spectacular crusader castle. Admire the dramatic desert landscape as we transport you to Petra, your stop for the night. (B, D)

It’s impossible to prepare for your first glimpse of Petra. As you wind your way through the Siq, the narrow gorge that is the fabled city’s only entrance, the sight of the Treasury hits you unexpectedly and profoundly, as it has every visitor two millennia. With an expert guide you’ll spend the day exploring this remarkable Nabatean city – later, after dinner, you’ll reflect on the day and see it as truly a once in a life time experience. You’ll stay in Petra tonight. (B, D)

After a hearty breakfast, we’ll head to Wadi Rum and a landscape straight out of Lawrence of Arabia (much of it was filmed here…). You’ll be treated to a two hour tour by jeep, the most effective and enjoyable way to take in spectacular sights of this desert “Valley of the Moon”. We’ll drive back to Amman for dinner and a final evening together. (B, D)

Enjoy breakfast knowing we’ll get you to the airport in plenty of time for your flight. (B)
