We will start our day with breakfast at the hotel, and then we will journey through history. Our first stop, Citadel. Located on a hill and it will give you a glimpse into the evolution of Amman and provides stunning views of downtown Amman. The Citadel offers the remains from the Roman to the Islamic period. Among the sites you can’t afford to miss at the Citadel are the Umayyad Palace complex, the Temple of Hercules and the Byzantine Church. After our journey through history, we will then drive to spend the day floating and relaxing at the Dead Sea. At the Dead Sea, we will discover the spectacular natural wonder that is perfect for religious tourism and fun in the sun with the family at the lowest point on earth while trying out the mud bath to cleanse the skin. We will watch the sunset over the hills of the West Bank with Jerusalem in the distance. After sunset, we will return to Amman for overnight at the hotel.
Included Meal: Breakfast
We will start our day with breakfast at the hotel and then we will proceed to head north for a full-day excursion. Our first stop is Jerash, one of the best-preserved Roman city in the world. The ancient city of Jerash, which boasts an unbroken chain of human occupation dating back more than 6,500 years. After Jerash, we will then proceed to Ajloun visiting Al-Rabid Castle, which helped to defeat the Crusaders centuries ago. After Al-Rabid Castle, we will then head to Anjara to visit the Pilgrimage to Our Lady of the Mountain Church – a rebuilt cave that is venerated as a place where Jesus and his mother Mary passed during their journeys between the Sea of Galilee, the Decapolis cities, Bethany beyond the Jordan and Jerusalem. Anjara was designated by the Vatican as a Millenium 2000 pilgrimage site. After seeing the church, we will then return back to Amman and overnight in Amman.

We will have breakfast at the hotel and then drive to Mount Nebo. There, we will view where Moses looked across to the Promised Land and later died and buried. We will then head to the town of Madaba and discover the amazing Byzantine and Umayyad mosaics. Continue driving via the Kings Highway to Mukawir, the site of Herod the Great. Upon Herod’s death, his son Herod Antipas inherited the fortress and it is from here that he ordered John the Baptist to be beheaded after Salome’s fateful dance of the seven veils. After Mukawir, we will continue driving to Kerak and touring the Kerak Castle. This castle will instantly make you understand why the fates of Kings and its nations were decided here for millennia. After touring the castle, we will drive to Petra and overnight in Petra.

The tour will start by crossing the “siq” lined with mountains in multiple colors up to the treasury. After the tour, we will drive to Amman and overnight in Amman.
