8-Night Best of Jordan Including Wadi Rum, Petra, Dead Sea, and Aqaba

Amman, Jordan

Discover Jerash, the Dead Sea, Petra, Wadi Rum, and Aqaba on this 8-night tour of Jordan from Amman. Explore Amman's Greco-Roman heritage and the ancient ruins of Jerash, float in the Dead Sea’s salty waters, gaze over the rugged Moab Desert, and lounge by the brilliant blue Red Sea. Visit St. George’s Church in Madaba and learn of the city’s biblical sites. Take in panoramic views over the Jordan Valley from Mount Nebo. Enjoy a full day’s sightseeing in UNESCO–listed Petra and explore Wadi Rum by 4x4.

After pickup from Amman airport on Sunday, you'll overnight in Amman. Monday begins with a panoramic tour of Amman, before driving out to the impressive Roman ruins of Jerash. Spend Tuesday relaxing by the super-salty waters of the Dead Sea, before returning to Amman. On Wednesday, drive from Amman to Petra, stopping at the famous mosaics at Madaba, Mount Nebo, and a crusader castle on the way. Enjoy a full day at Petra, giving you time to walk the Siq to the Treasury, climb to the Monastery, and more. You'll depart for Wadi Rum on Friday morning, where you'll roar through the desert in a 4x4 and spend the night at a Bedouin camp. Enjoy Saturday at leisure in Aqaba, on the shores of the sparkling Red Sea: you'll return to Amman on Sunday in time for dinner.
