Day 2 JERASH & AMMAN

This morning drive north of Amman to the spectacular Roman ruins of Jerash. The city's many monuments still retain the atmosphere of the once thriving metropolis, famous in its time for its magnificent temples, amphitheatres and plazas. Return to Amman where your guide will then take you for a stroll through the city’s crowded streets, from the colourful Rainbow Street, Amman’s soho like area, to the souk area around the Husseini Mosque. Experience some of Jordan’s best street food, before visiting some of the capital’s sites. This evening you will be given a wonderful insight into Jordanian cuisine as you embark on a private cooking class at Beit Sitti, an establishment set up by sisters looking to continue their grandmother’s legacy.

Day 3 AMMAN – MADABA – MOUNT NEBO – PETRA

Leave Amman and drive south to the mosaic-filled city of Madaba. Next head to the nearby Mount Nebo, one of the reputed sites of the tomb of Moses. The summit of this lonely, wind-swept mountain commands spectacular views over the Dead Sea to the West Bank and Jerusalem and you can see the springs where Moses supposedly smote the ground to bring forth water. Continue your journey south to the Pink City of Petra.

Day 4 LITTLE PETRA AND PETRA

Day 4 LITTLE PETRA AND PETRA

This morning visit Little Petra, located a few miles away from the main valley, and a less-visited site with a charm all of its own. From here you then travel a short distance to the start of the Back Door Route to the main site of Petra - a spectacular, but little-known, Bedouin trail. This route offers a unique insight into two very different sides of Petra, with dramatic views and the chance to escape the crowds. This evening you will then be treated to a very special experience, visiting Petra at night, as you follow the candles through the siq and enjoy local Bedouin music as you sit and admire the Treasury lit up at night, a memory that will stick with you for many years to come.

Day 5 PETRA – WADI RUM

Day 5 PETRA – WADI RUM

Today you will experience not only history but the unique landscapes of Wadi Rum. After settling into your camp, later this afternoon you go on a two-hour four-wheel drive adventure through the desert, surrounded by towering sandstone cliffs. Wadi Rum is a vast, silent desert, both romantic and extremely beautiful, where massive mountains rise vertically out of the pink desert sand, eroded by the wind into shapes of men, animals and monsters. Sunset is the perfect time to finish your adventure, as the desert glows for miles into the horizon and you can enjoy a sundowner back at the camp.

The Backdoor trail to Petra is the best way to see the ancient city. It's a great hike and if you start early, you'll end up with parts of Petra almost to yourself as most tourists come in via the normal Siq route.
