Itinerary |
|
|
Amman, Petra, Aqaba |
|
Day 1 - Amman |
|
Arrival at Queen Alia International
Airport where our guests would be assisted through formalities
and passport control. Later on, guests would proceed
to their hotel in Amman for over night.
|
| Day
2 - Amman |
|
After breakfast, guests would be transferred
for half day city tour of Amman visiting the Citadel,
Museum, Amphitheatre, Folklore Museum, & King Abdullahs
Mosque, the old and new part of Amman (2-3 hours). After
the tour, head to the North to Jerash which is a 45-minutes
drive away from Amman. Jerash, the Graeco-Roman City
of Jerash [ancient Gerasa], close second to Petra on
the list of favorite destinations in Jordan. Boasting
an unbroken chain of human occupation dating back more
than 6,500 years and hidden for centuries in sand before
being excavated and restored over the past 70 years,
Jerash is a fine example of the grand, formal and provincial
Roman towns found throughout the Middle East. One can
walk beneath four imposing gates or down the "Street
of Columns" north from the Oval Plaza
while stepping over the tracks of chariot wheels still
visible in the paving stones. After the tour, guests
would head back to Amman for over night at Amman Hotel.
|
| Day
3 - Petra |
After breakfast, guests would be transferred to Petra visiting en route Madaba & Mount Nebo and Kerak (King Highway). The trip south from Amman along the 5,000-year-old King's Highway is one of the most memorable journeys in the Holy Land, passing through a string of ancient sites. The first city you come upon is Madaba, "the City of Mosaics". Madaba's chief attraction -in the contemporary Greek Orthodox church of St. George- is a wonderfully vivid, sixth-century Byzantine mosaic map showing Jerusalem and other holy sites. Ten minutes to the west is the most revered site in Jordan: Mount Nebo, the memorial of Moses, the presumed site of the prophet's death and burial place. A small, square church was built on the spot by early Byzantine Christians-and later expanded into a vast complex. Later proceed further south to Kerak. Kerak lies about 150 Km south of Amman. It is famous of its crusader fortress in the center of underground galleries, rooms and secret passageways and its thick defensive walls pierced by narrow arrow slits where crusader archers held out bravely but in vain for over 100 years. It was the crusaders who made Kerak famous. The fortress was built in 1142 by Payen Le Boutellier, the lord of Montreal. He made Kerak the new capital of the province because it was situated on the king's highway, where it could control all traffic from north and south. After the tours, guests would proceed to Petra for check in and over night.

| Day
4 - Petra |
After breakfast, guests would be transferred via
the desert way to Petra for a visit along with 800-meters
horse ride. Hidden behind an almost impenetrable barrier
of rugged mountains, the legendary Red
Rose city of Petra is, perhaps, the most stunning
site in the entire Middle East, carved out of craggy
rocks by the Nabateans, an industrious Arab people
who settled in the South more than 2,000 years ago.
The approach through the cool gloom of the Siq, a
long narrow gorge whose steeply rising sides all but
obliterate the sun, provides a dramatic contrast with
the magic to come. Suddenly, the gorge opens into
a natural square dominated by Petra's most famous
monument, the Treasury [Al Khasneh], whos
intricately carved facade glows in the dazzling sun.
The Monastery [El Deir] and the High Place of the
Sacrifice [Al Madbah] are among the myriad archeological
wonders to be explored in Petra. After tour, guests
would head back to hotel at Petra.
|
| Day
5 - Aqaba |
|
After breakfast, guests would be transferred to Wadi
Rum for 1.5-hour Bedouin jeep ride inside Wadi Rum.
Stunning in its natural beauty, Wadi Rum epitomizes
the romance of the desert. With its "moonscape"
of ancient valleys and towering sandstone mountains
rising out of the sand, Wadi Rum is also home to several
Bedouin tribes who live in scattered camps throughout
the area. Climbers are especially attracted to Wadi
Rum because of its sheer granite and sandstone cliffs,
while hikers enjoy its vast empty spaces. Wadi Rum is
probably best known because of its connection with the
enigmatic British officer T.E. Lawrence, who was based
here during the Great Arab Revolt of 1917-18. Much of
David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia was filmed in Wadi Rum.
After the tour, proceed onto Aqaba (Red Sea) for check
in and over night.
