THE CITADEL
Amman, Jordan
Located on a hill it gives a glimpse into the evolution of Amman and provides stunning views of downtown Amman. Among the sites you can’t afford to miss at the Citadel are the Umayyad Palace complex, the Temple of Hercules and the Byzantine Church.
THE DEAD SEA
Balqa, Jordan
The lowest point on earth (427 meter below sea level). The Dead Sea is a 1 hour drive from Amman - if you have time to spend the day there, it's worth doing. The sea is extremely salty that when swimming you will see yourself floating. It's an experience not to be missed, especially if you end up rubbing your entire body with mud (which is a given). Beware if you have any cuts or scratches, getting in the sea can be painful.
PETRA
Ma'an, Jordan
The city of Petra, capital of the Nabataean Arabs, is one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world, one of the world's 7 wonders, is undoubtedly Jordan's most valuable treasure and greatest tourist attraction, and it is visited by tourists from all over the world. Although it's most known for the Treasury, bear in mind that it's an entire city so there's so much to explore. You can also opt for the "Petra by Night" experience, which is also exceptional.
WADI RUM
Aqaba, Jordan
Wadi Rum is a protected area covering 720 square kilometers of dramatic desert wilderness in the south of Jordan, known for its red sand and for resembling Mars. From huge mountains of sandstone and granite to narrow canyons, there are many ways to enjoy the attractions of Rum, including jeep, camel and hiking tours and you can stay overnight in a Bedouin tent and gaze at the amazing panoply of stars.
AQABA
Aqaba, Jordan

EXPLORING JORDAN
3 Day Itiniterary
Rent a car or bus with a driver that can take you from Amman to Petra (3-hour drive).
​
Things to do in Petra: Once you enter the park, we recommend getting a guide who can walk you through the Siq to get to the famous view of the treasury. The guide can also take you “off-road” to unmarked hiking trails.
​
From Petra you can drive to Wadi Rum where you can spend the night in either a tent or in Bubble Dome Luxury Camp (2-hour drive).
​
Things to do in Wadi Rum: Visit the beautiful rock bridges, sandboarding, 4x4 tours, camel rides, and stargazing.
On your way back from Wadi Rum to Amman, you can stop by the Dead Sea where you can spend the night at a resort (Kempinski Ishtar Resort, Dead Sea Marriott Resort, Hilton Dead Sea Resort and more).
​
Things to do at the Dead Sea: wade into the water, sit back, and float away – literally! The Dead Sea is about 30x more saline than average water, so provides extra buoyancy. Make sure to look for some mud and slather it onto your skin for 10-15 minutes.
