Exploring Jordan in five days can provide an enriching experience, as you will be able to see a mix of historical sites, natural wonders, and unique cultural experiences.
Day 1: Arrival in Amman, Transfer to the Dead Sea
Welcome to Jordan! Upon arrival at the Queen Alia International Airport in Amman, you’ll be met by your driver and transferred an hour west to the shores of the Dead Sea. After a scenic drive through a landscape of otherworldly, arid hills, you’ll reach one of the most spectacular natural and spiritual landscapes in the world. This landlocked lake is the lowest point on earth and the world’s richest source of natural salts, hiding wonderful treasures that accumulated throughout thousands of years.
Get settled into your hotel, then spend the rest of the day at your leisure—floating in the salty waters, enjoying a full-body mud treatment, or relaxing in the sun.Day 2: Transfer to Petra via Mount Nebo, Madaba & Kerak
After breakfast at your hotel, you’ll check out and meet your driver for today’s journey south. Along the way, you’ll stop at Mount Nebo, an elevated ridge of the Abarim range said to be where Moses took in the view of the Promised Land. Follow in his footsteps and look out at the Dead Sea and beyond, before making your way to the Memorial Church of Moses, a modern structure that now houses excavated relics from the region.
Back on the road, you’ll continue to Madaba to check out its intricate Byzantine and Umayyad mosaics, including the spectacular Madaba Map, the oldest preserved mosaic map of the Holy Land. Nearby, the Madaba Archaeological Park preserves the mosaic-rich Church of the Virgin Mary and artifacts from the Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, and Islamic eras.
Carry on south along the King’s Highway to Kerak to visit the impressive Crusader castle of the same name. Exploring the fortress-like structure provides an opportunity to experience the vaulted halls and passageways typical of the era, a remarkable insight into the architectural and military prowess of the Crusaders. When you’re ready, continue to Petra where you’ll check in to your hotel for the night.Day 3: Explore Petra, Transfer to Wadi Rum
Today you’ll explore Jordan’s beloved archeological treasure: the lost city of Petra. Known as the “Rose City” for the area’s distinctive red sandstone, it’s easy to see why Petra was named one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. Its intricate architectural design is hundreds of years old, and remarkably well maintained.
Enter through the Siq, a dramatically narrow gorge flanked by towering cliffs, and spend your day wandering at your leisure through Petra’s seemingly endless temples, tombs, and colonnaded streets. Navigate the impressive water conduit system of the historic Nabataean city, paying a visit to Qasr al-Bint, a grand temple that was once the population’s primary place of worship.
If you’re feeling adventurous, climb your way up the 800 steps to the Monastery, Petra’s largest and lesser-visited monument. For a stunning view overlooking the Treasury and jagged mountains beyond, hike your way up the steep stone-carved staircase to the top of Jabal al- Khubtha.
After getting your fill of Petra, your driver will take you south into the wilderness of the Wadi Rum, an expanse of desert dubbed the “Valley of the Moon” by Lawrence of Arabia. Along the two-hour drive, you’ll pass through red valleys, rock canyons, and dunes to reach a Bedouin-style camp, where you’ll enjoy a traditional meal and spend the night sleeping under the stars.Day 4: Wadi Rum Jeep Excursion, Transfer to Amman & Afternoon City Tour
After breakfast, you’ll set out in a sturdy Jeep for an off-road excursion that takes you deeper into the UNESCO-protected Wadi Rum. Travel through valleys, rock canyons, dunes, and deserts, stopping to check out rock inscriptions and petroglyphs as well as majestic views. Spend a little time at each stop to hike and scramble and explore at your own pace. Along the way, you’ll visit desert oases, see 2,000-year-old Kufic rock art, and learn about the history of the area and the local Bedouin culture.
Other activities like camel and horse rides, hiking trips, and ATV excursions are also available. After a morning of desert adventure, your driver will pick you up for the 4.5-hour drive back to Amman. After checking in to your hotel, head back out to see more of the capital with an afternoon tour of the historic Old City. Discover the magnificent Amman Citadel (Jabal al Qal’a) and the 2nd-century Roman Theater, two of the most famous archaeological sites in the capital, and stroll amid colorful wares and aromatic spices in Amman’s old souks (markets).Day 5: Transfer to Airport & Departure
