DAY 1: Amman Hotel - Petra (Visit) - Wadi Rum Camp (D) 450 KM
Pickup from your Amman Hotel at 07:00 AM and drive to Petra, enjoy a 2-hour tour of this awe-inspiring Nabatean city and UNESCO World Heritage site with a local guide. One of the Seven Wonders of the World, Petra was carved into a sandstone gorge more than 2,000 years ago to dominate the trading routes of ancient Arabia and is rightly regarded as the jewel in the crown of Jordan’s historic sites. Walk along the narrow “Siq”, the high-walled fissure in the rocks that winds into the heart of the city. Then, stop in your tracks at your first breathtaking glimpse of the Treasury, known locally as “El-Khazneh” - Petra’s stellar sight. Wonder at its intricate façade and hear how movies such as Indiana Jones, the Transformers, and the Last Crusade were filmed here. Take photos of this glorious monument and then continue your tour. See Petra’s ornate tombs cut into the rock face, and admire the stunning theater that once sat 3,000 spectators. As you walk, visit the Byzantine church and hear stories as well as facts about the ingenious Nabateans who chose, carved out, and then made this place their home so long ago. Free time to explore and walk up the Monastery or the High Place of Sacrifice, if time permits. After your walking tour and free time to visit the Petra Museum and for lunch at your own expense finishes. Drive to Wadi Rum. Check in at a Camp of your choice, Bedouin dinner and overnight.
DAY 2: Wadi Rum (Visit) - Dead Sea (Visit) - Amman Hotel (B) 450 KM
Breakfast and then start your Jordan experience with a transfer to the spectacular desert wilderness of Wadi Rum. Sometimes known as the Valley of the Moon for its lunar-like landscapes, this protected region of mountains, dunes, and canyons was where T.E. Lawrence, known as “Lawrence of on” fought alongside the Bedouin locals in World War I. The locals have named many of the sites in Wadi Rum after Lawrence and numerous scenes from the iconic movie, Lawrence of Arabia, were filmed on location here. Besides, the recent well-known movie The Martian, was also filmed by Hollywood super star Matt Damon; as well as Star Wars: The Rise of Sky Walker. Enjoy an exhilarating 2-hour trip by 4x4 local jeep through this majestic place to immerse yourself in its serene beauty and ever-changing colors. Rumble along desert valleys, through narrow gorges and past red dunes and mountains; stop to take photos along the way. Travel onward to the Dead Sea; the first natural spa and lowest point on earth, sitting at 1,412 feet (430 meters) below sea level. This glittering inland sea contains extraordinarily high levels of salt and minerals and offers up an incredible experience: the chance to float rather than swim and to use its body mud! Wade in to experience a short floating session from the beach: it’s an unforgettable sensation. After free time at the Dead Sea, drop off at your Amman Hotel booked on your own.
