Days 1–4: Flight & Amman
The tour's first stop is Jordan's capital city, Amman, where you'll have a leisure day before setting out to explore the neighboring villages of Ajloun and Umm Qais. The latter boasts sweeping views of the Sea of Galilee. Day 4 includes a city tour of Amman's souk bazaars—bustling open-air markets—and a stop at the Jordan Archaeological Museum.
- Ayyubid castle: Fortified with a moat and a drawbridge, this 12th-century palace in Ajloun is the quintessential medieval fortress. It played a crucial role during the Crusades.
- Jerash: This ruined city had been buried beneath the sand for centuries. Its Roman relics include the Arch of Hadrian, built during the 2nd century, and a hippodrome for chariot races.
- Roman Theater is built into the hillsides of Amman and once housed thousands of spectators.
Days 5–6: Petra
On day 6, you'll follow the sinuous Siq road deep into the city of Petra, which the Nabateans carved into the sandstone cliffs since the 3rd century BC. One of the stops en route to Petra is Mount Nebo, rumored to be Moses's burial site.
- Church of St. George: You'll stop at this church in Madaba, Jordan, featuresThousands of tiles create a mosaic map that depicts 6th century Jerusalem.
- Shobak Castle: This Crusade-era castle, with stone arches and crumbling battlements, sits atop a mountain at 4,000 feet high
- Petra's Treasury building: Intricate columns adorn the facade of this 140-foot tall building—Petra's most recognizable and iconic image.
Days 7–9: Dead Sea and Flight Back
Vast expanses of red sand and pillar-like rock formations make Wadi Rum resemble the lunar surface. On day 7, you'll ride a 4x4 across this rugged desert landscape, which served as the backdrop for the 1962 Academy Award-winning film Lawrence of Arabia. Afterwards, you'll head to the Dead Sea for a relaxing end to the trip. There's no set schedule on day 8, so feel free to take in the Dead Sea and its surroundings at your own pace.
- Float on the Dead Sea: The mineral-laden waters soothe sore muscles and make it easy to stay afloat.
- Sample zarb food: Traditional Bedouin cuisine that is cooked with coals buried in a pit beneath the sand.
- Optional tour: On Day 8, consider taking an optional tour to Bethany, which is said to be the site where John the Baptist baptized Jesus ($75)
