DAY 3: Discover Jerash
Today, enjoy a city tour followed by a drive to Jerash, an ancient Roman city known as the Pompeii of the East. Learn about the city's past and see its well-preserved Hippodrome, once the home of Roman chariot races. Continue to Ajloun, where we visit the 12th century castle overlooking the Jordan Valley.
DAY 4: Explore Amman
Head out of the city for a visit to some of Jordan's desert castles, which are beautiful examples of early Islamic art and architecture. Return to Amman and explore the old city of Amman, visiting the Citadel and Roman theatre.
DAY 5: Travel To Petra
Today you will make your way to Mount Nebo, the Biblical site from which Moses was granted a view of the Holy Land. Here, explore the ruins of 4th and 5th-century churches and admire their marvellously intricate mosaics. Continue to the town of Madaba where you will visit the Orthodox Church of St George and the Madaba Mosaic Map, the oldest surviving depiction of the Holy Land. Travel to Petra, which is sure to be one of many memorable highlights of this tour. Tonight, enjoy a Levantine cooking class with a local chef.
DAY 6: Petra
This morning, explore the beauty of this Lost City of the Nabateans, carved directly from the pink sandstone cliffs. Surrounded by imposing mountains and approached through a deep, narrow gorge known as the Siq, Petra stands as one of the most unique and unforgettable cities of the ancient world. Enjoy an afternoon at leisure before returning to Petra after sunset, when you'll see the Treasury lit by the glow of over 1,500 candles.

Start with a visit to Little Petra before transferring to Wadi Rum, the Valley of the Moon. This wondrous desert is filled with ancient valleys, towered over by sandstone mountains. A comfortable 4x4 will whisk you into the heart of the wadi, where you'll follow in the footsteps of Lawrence of Arabia and hear the desert's long history. This evening, stay in a unique desert camp with en-suite private tents.
