Itinerary

Amman - Jerash - Ajloun - El Himma instructions local representative + pick up rental car

After breakfast our local representative will meet you in the lobby of your hotel to discuss the rest of your trip. You receive the keys from the rental car and from here you will continue your journey.

The first stop is Jerash, the Pompeii of the Middle East, a city founded by Alexander the Great. It is one of the best-preserved Roman cities in the world. Unfortunately Jerash is not allowed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, because wrong methods were used to restore the city. Nevertheless, Jerash is one of the biggest surprises of Jordan. Located in the middle of a contemporary city, you can imagine yourself back in Roman times. A must see in Jordan.

The second stop is Ajloun. The Ajloun Castle protected the communication routes between south Jordan and Syria, and was one of a chain of forts that lit beacons at night to pass signals from the Euphrates as far as Cairo. Today, Ajloun Castle is an amazing sight with a fascinating labyrinth of towers, chambers, galleries and staircases to explore, while its hilltop position offers stunning views of the Jordan Valley.

If you have not had enough you can travel towards Pella. Archaeological finds from the Bronze and Iron Ages indicate that Pella was a prosperous city which was trading with Egypt, Syria and Cyprus.

Continue your journey north to El Himma, a hidden treasure which is still unknown to many people. You will visit the natural hot springs and spend the night in our private accommodation, El Himma Chalets. The private accommodation is located near the hot springs of El Himma. A private dinner will be prepared by the local owner.

El Himma - Umm Qais - Jordan River - Dead Sea

After a relaxing morning at the hot springs in El Himma, you will continue your journey to Umm Qais, a ruin complex near Irbid. Since you are in the far north of Jordan, you will hardly encounter any tourists. After visiting Umm Qais you will continue south and drive to the Dead Sea in about 2.5 hours.

On the way south you will drive along the banks of the Jordan River. Jesus was baptized here, you can even visit the exact spot.

When you arrive at your hotel next to the Dead Sea, you can check-in and relax. The rest of the day is at leisure.

Petra including backdoor hike with guide

Today you will visit the ancient city of Petra, one of Jordan’s national treasures and one of the seven wonders of the world! Today you enter the red city of the Nabataeans. Centuries ago, the Nabataeans built a kingdom which was hidden in the mountains. The ingenious water system enabled the kingdom to flourish in this remote place for a long time. This also is one of the main reasons why all the carvings are so well preserved.

You can spend an entire day in the city. It will be an unforgettable visit but make sure you are ready for a full day of hiking. There are two ways to visit the site. The first one is the traditional way through the Siq (Canyon), this is the main entrance. The Siq will take you to the Treasury. You can visit the Treasury, basin, the royal tombs and the theater, the High Place of Sacrifice and the Roman soldier tombs. All the way at the end of the complex you will find the Monastery.

The second one is through the back door; the more adventurous route! It begins with a 20 minute drive through the desert. After the drive you will begin with a 1,5 hour hike through a mountain area, until you reach the Monastery. Then you will continue through the main site of Petra. Your guide will explain about the archaeology and the history of the site and it inhabitants. After exploring the city you will be exiting from the main gate. This way you are avoiding the tourist crowds, definitely an advantage.

Wadi Rum - Aqaba optional balloon flight Wadi Rum at sunrise

If you wish you can start the day in a very unique way: with a balloon flight over the Wadi Rum at sunrise!

Today you will leave the vast landscape of the desert and return to civilization. You can still enjoy the quietness of the desert in the morning before you continue your journey towards Aqaba.
