Landing in Jordan\u2019s capital of Amman, you\u2019ll collect your bags before embarking on your private transfer to a luxury hotel in the heart of the city. With an evening at your disposal before your Jordanian adventure really gets underway, take some time to explore the wonders of Rainbow Street. Brimming with bars, authentic cafes and some fascinating galleries, a jaunt along this part of Amman will prove to be a great introduction to the diversities of this middle-eastern jewel.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow, your discovery begins in Jerash, one of Jordan\u2019s most ancient offerings that\u2019s often cited as the best-preserved Roman city on earth. You\u2019ll feel as though you\u2019ve genuinely stepped back in time as you wander beneath Hadrian\u2019s Arch and ponder the incredible architecture that has managed to withstand the passing of centuries. The Oval Plaza and the 56 columns that surround it are a particular highlight whilst Colonnaded Street still has its original paving stones and will send your imagination into overdrive.\u00a0The ruins here date back around 2000 years and were once home to tens of thousands of inhabitants. Then, as the sun begins to set on yet another day in this historic destination, your car will return to take you back to Amman for one last night.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s time to leave the capital behind and encounter Jordan\u2019s sleepier towns and epic landscapes. En route to the small town of Madaba, we\u2019ll stop off for a quick tour of Mount Nebo, purported to be the place that Moses first laid eyes on the Promised Land. Whether you\u2019re religious or an atheist, the importance of this site will be sure to pique your interest. From there, it\u2019s onto Madaba, where you\u2019ll stop once more to delve into the area\u2019s religious history. It’s then onto your final stop at Shobak’s\u00a0crusader castle, before continuing on to Wadi Musa, the home of the iconic Petra.<\/p>\n
Once you\u2019ve checked into your accommodation, its back out to enjoy Petra by Night. This is an experience that will see you wandering in silence by candlelight through the Siq towards the famed treasury fa\u00e7ade. At this point, you\u2019ll settle down to listen to musical performances by people that have inhabited the rocky monuments before you for centuries. As the music comes to a close, head back to your hotel to prepare yourself for the wonders of Petra by daylight.<\/p>\n
By day explore Petra, the world\u2019s largest archaeological site with your private guide close at hand as you wonder at the mystery that surrounds each of the structures. Little is known about the Nabatean people that constructed these special monuments, making Petra a beautiful yet historically impenetrable part of the world. The day after your wanderings through Petra, we\u2019ll take you to the edge of Wadi Rum for some desert explorations. Climbing aboard your trusty steed (in this case, a camel), your hour-long trek to a secluded camp will begin. Upon arrival, settle into your tent and explore the camp before a jeep safari that will take you to ancient petroglyphs and out to spend some time with local Bedouin communities. Then, as night falls, enjoy an authentic meal beneath an unbelievably starry sky.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been a busy few days and we\u2019re sure you\u2019ll be looking forward to a spot of relaxation, so a day at the Dead Sea will provide you with the perfect end to your trip. Go straight out into the water to experience the unusual sensation of floating at the surface before coming back to shore to enjoy some iconic spa treatments to ready yourself for your return to the modern world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
