Here, you can unwind and relax, soaking in the vibrant atmosphere of the city, before embarking on the exciting adventures that await you in the days ahead.

Your first destination today is a tour of Amman City, beginning with a pick-up from your hotel by our driver. You'll be taken to the Amman Citadel, also known as Jebel Al Qalaa, one of the city's most iconic and historic landmarks. Situated on one of the seven hills that make up the capital, the Citadel features remarkable ruins, including the grand Hercules Temple, the Ayyubid Watchtower, and the renowned Great Hand Statue, alongside other structures that date back to ancient times.

Next, you'll visit the ancient Roman Theatre, an impressive structure once used for musical performances. With a capacity of 6,000 people, this theatre is still used today for similar events, preserving its rich cultural legacy.

Following the theatre, we'll visit the Archaeological Museum, housing a fascinating collection of ancient artefacts, offering a deeper understanding of Jordan's historical significance.

Later, prepare for a journey to Jordan's desert castles, exquisite examples of early Islamic art and architecture. These castles, dating back to the Umayyad period (7th–8th centuries), were once luxurious retreats, hunting lodges, and trade hubs. Among the most notable are Qasr Amra, Qasr Kharana, Qasr al-Hallabat, Qasr al-Mushatta, and Qasr al-Burqu, each offering a unique glimpse into the past.

After a day filled with exploration and history, you'll return to Amman for an overnight stay.

Today, you'll embark on a journey to explore the ancient city of Jerash, one of Jordan's most renowned attractions, second only to Petra. Jerash boasts some of the most impressive and well-preserved examples of Roman architecture outside of Italy, and its history spans over 6,500 years. During its golden age under Roman rule, the city, known as Gerasa, flourished as a major provincial town. Today, it stands as one of the best-preserved Roman towns in the world, offering a breathtaking insight into ancient civilization.

Following your visit to Jerash, you'll continue on to Ajloun Castle, also known as Qal'at Ar-Rabad. This majestic fortress stands proudly above the lush green hills of Ajloun, visible from miles away. Its strategic location made it a key military watch post between the 12th and 15th centuries, protecting vital trade routes. Originally constructed in 1184 by Izz al-Din Usama, one of Saladin's generals, the castle played a crucial role in defending northern Jordan against Crusader forces.

After a day filled with history and awe-inspiring sights, you’ll return to your hotel for the night.

Today, you will explore Madaba, a town that beautifully blends rural charm with deep religious significance. Known as the "City of Mosaics," Madaba is a cultural hub featuring exquisite Byzantine and Umayyad mosaics. Located just a short drive from Amman, Madaba offers easy access to several important holy sites and religious landmarks.

Your first stop will be St. George’s Church, a modest 19th-century Greek Orthodox church, home to one of Christianity's most remarkable relics. In 1884, during the construction of the church, workers uncovered the ruins of a Byzantine church, revealing an extraordinary discovery: the oldest known map of Palestine. This ancient mosaic, offering invaluable historical insights, has withstood centuries of destruction, fire, and neglect, making it an essential stop for history lovers.

Next, you will head to Mount Nebo, the highest point in the ancient Kingdom of Moab. Revered in Abrahamic texts, Mount Nebo is believed to be the site where Moses died after viewing the Holy Land. According to tradition, Moses ascended from the plains of Moab to the top of Pisgah, which overlooks Jericho. As you explore this sacred site, you'll delve into the roots of religion and reflect on the profound history it holds.

After a day of history and spirituality, you'll continue your journey to the Dead Sea for an overnight stay, where you can unwind and experience one of the world's most unique natural wonders.

Take time to enjoy the soothing sensation of weightlessness, as the mineral-rich mud, famous for its healing properties, works wonders on your skin. Whether you choose to unwind by the water's edge or indulge in a rejuvenating mud treatment, the Dead Sea offers a tranquil escape like no other. After a day of relaxation and rejuvenation, you’ll stay overnight at the Dead Sea, soaking in its beauty and serenity.

Today, get ready for a unique and rejuvenating experience! You’ll begin your day at Ma'in Hot Springs, a serene sanctuary nestled between Madaba and the Dead Sea.

The mineral-rich waters are renowned for their healing properties, offering the perfect opportunity to relax and unwind in nature’s embrace. The soothing warmth of the springs, combined with the tranquil atmosphere, makes Ma'in Hot Springs a true oasis and a must-visit destination in Jordan.

After your time in the springs, you’ll head to Kerak Castle, located in southern Jordan. This well-preserved Crusader fortress, built in the 12th century, once played a pivotal role during the Crusades due to its strategic location. Known for its impressive defensive architecture, the castle offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding area. It is an essential historical site that provides valuable insights into medieval military strategies and the Crusader period.
