Begin your adventure upon arrival at the Amman International Airport. Our tour team will welcome you at the airport and transfer you to the hotel. After checking in, the tour will start with a guided city exploration. The tour will begin with a visit to the Roman Theater, Amman Citadel, The Jordan Museum, and King Abdullah I Mosque. We will also see the Roman Temple of Hercules, all while our tour guide will be providing historical sights about the sights for a more quality exploration experience.
Stop for a brief lunch at the local eateries and rest for two hours. Next, we will head on to see the Roman Ruins of Madaba where guests can see the famous 4th-century Byzantine architecture inside the Greek Orthodox Church of St. George. Transfer back to the hotel to stay overnight and prepare for the next day.
Enjoy a delicious breakfast at the hotel then set off to explore the Umayyad Castle part of the tour. Discover three of the best-preserved castles in the desert. The largest and most ornately designed Umayyad castle in Jordan is Qasr al-Kharaneh, which has a sizable, square stronghold surrounded by walls and round towers on each side.
Next will be the bright frescoes decorating the walls and ceilings of Qusayr Amra, with two of its chambers decorated with eye-catching mosaics. Lastly, the third castle will be the Qasr al-Azraq, all embellished with beautiful black basalt. Afterward, transfer back to the hotel to stay overnight.
After breakfast, get ready to resume the tour, with the first stop being the majestic Mt. Nebo. There, guests can visit the old monastery, and see the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and the vast landscape of this ancient place. After this, the tour will head towards the Dead Sea, which has developed into a health spa-like hub due to its unique chemical composition.
Being so famous, it is said that both Queen Cleopatra and Sheba knew the value of the site and used its mud for medical and beautification purposes. Guests will be free to take a walk around the coast or swim in the water. Afterward, travel back to the hotel to stay overnight.
Enjoy an early breakfast and begin the journey north to Jerash, a site that is situated at the bottom of Mt. Gilead. This ancient city is a reflection of the Roman Empire, being one of the largest and most well-preserved sites of Roman architecture, its beauty can be viewed from the colonnaded street, the Oval Plaza, the Nymphaeum, and the Temple of Artemis.
Next, visit the Ajloun Castle, built in 1184 AD by Izz Al-Din Usama who was one of Salah Al-Din's generals. After a thorough look around, head on towards Umm Qais, once known as Gadara.
