Jordan Tour: Explore Ancient Wonders

Jordan, a country filled with history and natural beauty, is a perfect blend of ancient ruins, breathtaking landscapes, and thriving culture. Our 8-day Jordan Tour will take your breath away as you travel around Jordan to its most iconic sites, from the hustling, bustling streets of Amman to the tranquil deserts of Wadi Rum. If you are looking for an adventure, history, or just relaxation, Jordan has a place for you.

Uncover Jordan’s History and Natural Beauty on a Jordan Tour

The journey starts in Amman, the capital city of Jordan, which so beautifully merges modernity with ancient times. Strolling around this city’s historical landmarks, one just cannot help but feel the throbbing of a city that has been inhabited since time immemorial. Explore the Roman Amphitheater—a sure architectural wonder—where seating capacity was for 6,000 spectators, and visit the Citadel perched on a hill, offering panoramic views of the city. Amman’s boisterous bazaars and Jordan Folklore Museum reveal something about local cultures and therefore prepare the way for the forthcoming Jordan tour.

Go to Jerash: The Pompeii of the East
Stop in Jerash, often referred to as the Pompeii of the East. This is an amazing example of a Roman city; colonnades, theaters, and temples, all incredibly well preserved and restored to their original glory when Jerash was the head of a most successful provincial life. Of the many must-see sights in Jerash, a visit to the Forum, which in its heyday was oval and features the first evidence of glazed windowpanes, is a must, as is the Temple of Artemis.

Feel Weightless in the Dead Sea: Nature’s Ultimate Spa
It is such an experience that no one should afford to miss when visiting Jordan, as it is said to be the lowest spot on earth. The Dead Sea is always a highlight for its mineral-rich waters and purportedly therapeutic marsh. The possibility of floating effortlessly on its surface, along with the splendid view of the mountains around you, closes this natural miracle. It has such a serene, refreshing feel that it allows a person to sit back and relax while soaking up the beautiful scenery of the Jordanian landscapes.

Explore Madaba and Mt. Nebo: A Tapestry of Faith and History
Continue your Jordanian, ancient King’s Highway to Madaba and Mt. Nebo. It is here in Madaba that you will find a 6th-century mosaic map of the Holy Land, a masterpiece housed within the walls of St. George’s Church. Further, it hosts Mt. Nebo, the Promised Land, said to have been seen by Prophet Moses. From the mountaintop, panoramic views stretch across the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and even the city of Jerusalem—the kind that relates one to the biblical history of this land.

Petra: The Rose-Red City
The crown jewel of Jordan, Petra, is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. This ancient town, carved into the rose-red cliffs by the Nabataeans, enchants many visitors today with its grandeur and mystery. As one approaches through the Siq—a narrow gorge flanked by towering cliffs—the stupendous façade of the Treasury reveals itself, leaving any visitor in awe of the craftsmanship. Spend your day exploring Petra’s vast archaeological sites—tombs, temples, and even a Roman-style theater—with your Jordan tour.

Wadi Rum: The Valley of the Moon
Drive into the stunning desert scenery of Wadi Rum, popularly known as the Valley of the Moon. This protected area offers some of the most dramatic scenery in the world. Take a 4×4 jeep tour across expansive sands, revealing ancient rock inscriptions and hidden canyons. This tranquility of the desert, combined with the hospitality of the Bedouins, offers an experience unlike any other and forms one of the highlights of any Jordan tour.

Aqaba Relaxation: Jewel of the Red Sea
The final destination on this Jordan tour is Aqaba, Jordan’s gateway to the Red Sea, a water sports and sun-seeker paradise in a coastal city. This day is free to spend some time at leisure, exploring colorful coral reefs by snorkel or diving, or simply relaxing on the sandy shores. The warm waters and sunny weather make Aqaba an ideal place to recharge before bringing your Jordan tour adventure to an end.
