Arrival to Amman. Meet and assist at the airport. Transfer to the hotel. Overnight at the hotel.

Breakfast and departure for a visit to Ajloun Castle, a fortress built in 1185 and later rebuilt in the 13th century by the Mamluks after its destruction by the Mongols. It is a Crusader-era castle, situated atop a mountain, offering a beautiful view. Continue to Jerash, one of the cities of the Decapolis. Jerash is located north of Amman, approximately 45 km away, about an hour’s drive. During the excursion, we will visit the Arch of Triumph, the oval plaza, the Cardo, the colonnade, the Temple of Aphrodite, and finally, the Roman theater, with its marvelous acoustics. The preservation of the ruins of Jerash is still surprising, allowing for a very accurate understanding of what cities were like in that era. Afterwards, transfer to the Dead Sea. Free time for swimming and mud baths. After the visit, return to Amman. Overnight at the hotel.

Breakfast and departure for a panoramic city tour of Amman. At the scheduled time, visit Bethany, the site where Jesus was baptized by St. John the Baptist. The Jordanian site of Bethany opened to visitors in 2000, and Pope John Paul II attended its inauguration as a sign of recognition from the Vatican. The Baptism Site of Jesus, “Bethany Beyond the Jordan” (Al-Maghtas), is of immense importance to Christianity as it is recognized as the place where Jesus was baptized. Then, continue to Madaba to visit the Orthodox Church of St. George, where the first mosaic map of Palestine is found. Continue to Mount Nebo to admire the panoramic view of the Jordan Valley and the Dead Sea from the mountain. This place is significant because it was the last place visited by Moses, from where he glimpsed the Promised Land, which he would never reach. Transfer to Petra. Overnight at the hotel.

Breakfast and departure to the nearby village of Al Beida, also known as Little Petra. Visit this ancient caravanserai area. Then, a full day dedicated to visiting the Rose City, the capital of the Nabataeans. During the visit, we will discover the most important and representative monuments carved into the rock by the Nabataeans. We begin with the Treasury, the world-famous monument featured in one of the Indiana Jones films, the Coloured Tombs, the Royal Tombs, the Monastery, and more. Petra is one of those places in the world that must be visited at least once in a lifetime. At the end of the visit, return to Amman. Overnight at the hotel.
