Day 2
Visit the Dead Sea for a swim
Without doubt, the world’s most amazing place, the Jordan Rift Valley is a dramatic, beautiful landscape, which at
the Dead Sea, is over 400 metres (1,312 ft.) below sea level. The lowest point on the face of the earth, this vast,
stretch of water receives a number of incoming rivers, including the River Jordan.
Once the waters reach the Dead Sea they are land-locked and have nowhere to go, so they evaporate, leaving
behind a dense, rich, cocktail of salts and minerals that supply industry, agriculture and medicine with some of its
finest
Products.
The leading attraction at the Dead Sea is the warm, soothing, super salty water itself – some ten times saltier than sea
water, and rich in chloride salts of magnesium, sodium, potassium, bromine and several others. The unusually warm,
incredibly buoyant and mineral-rich waters have attracted visitors since ancient times, including King Herod the Great and
the beautiful Egyptian Queen, Cleopatra. All of whom have luxuriated in the Dead Sea’s rich, black, stimulating mud and
floated effortlessly on their backs while soaking up the water's healthy minerals along with the gently diffused rays of the
Jordanian sun.
Day 3
Local sightseeing
Visit Madaba
Just 30 kilometers from Amman, along the 5,000-year-old Kings´ Highway, is one of the most memorable places
in the Holy Land. After passing through a string of ancient sites, the first city youreach is Madaba, known
as the “City of Mosaics". Best known for its spectacular Byzantine and Umayyad mosaics, Madaba is
home to the famous 6th century Mosaic Map of Jerusalem and the Holy Land. With
two million pieces of vividly colored local stone, it depicts hills and valleys, villages and
towns as far as the Nile Delta.
The Madaba Mosaic Map covers the floor of the Greek Orthodox Church of St. George,
which is located northwest of the city centre. The church was built in 1896 AD, over the
remains of a much earlier 6th century Byzantine church. The mosaic panel enclosing the
Map was originally around 15.6 X 6m, 94 square meters, only about a quarter of which is
preserved.
Mt. Nebo
Also within the area is Mount Nebo, one of the most revered holy sites o Jordan and the place where Moses was
buried. A small Byzantine church (now closed for renovations) was built there by early Christians, which has
been expanded into a vast complex. During his visit to Jordan in 2001, the Late Pope John Paul II held a sermon
here that was attended by some 20,000 faithful.
La Storia Museum
An exciting journey through history you can experience at La Storia Tourism Complex where you can see at its
large exhibition the religious, historical and cultural heritage of Jordan and the region. Its located 2 kilometers
before getting to Mount Nebo the memorial of Prophet Moses 7 kilometers west of Madaba and includes the
museum, a handicrafts center and the beginnings of the largest mosaic in the world.
Day 4
Visit Petra
Perhaps the words of Dean Burgon’s famous poem: ‘Match me such
a marvel save in Eastern clime / A rose-red city half as old as
time…’ reflect some truth about Petra.
Yet words can hardly do justice to the true magnificence that is
Petra. Some archaeologists have ranked ancient Petra as the
eighth wonder of the ancient world – a truly justifiable claim. Petra is
unique in every respect, having something to offer to the historian,
anthropologist, archaeologist, geologist, architect and the naturalist,
all of whom regularly come to Petra to conduct their studies and be in touch with the ancient past. You do not have to
be a specialist in any field though to appreciate Petra because, once inside of it, you will be quickly awe-struck and
you will want to know the how, why and where about it.
This remote dead city is one of the great archaeological treasures in the world, undoubtedly; it is the most important
famous attraction of Jordan. Much of Petra’s appeal comes from its awesome, multicolored sandstone high
mountains; it is a secluded site of steep rocky slops , towering craggy mountain tops and high cliffs, into which most of
the celebrated tombs, facades, theatres and stairways are carved… Nature and architecture concur into conferring a
mythical aura to the site.
Day 5
Wadi Rum
This is a stupendous, timeless place, virtually untouched by humanity and its
destructive forces. Here, it is the weather and winds that have carved the imposing,
towering skyscrapers, so elegantly described by T.E. Lawrence as “vast, echoing and
god-like”. A maze of monolithic rocks capes rise up from the desert floor to heights of
1,750 meters creating a natural challenge for serious mountaineers. Also known as ‘The
Valley of the Moon’, this is the place where Prince Faisal Bin Hussein and T.E. Lawrence
based their headquarters during the Arab Revolt against the Ottomans in World War 1,
and their exploits are intrinsically woven into the history of this amazing area.
We will visit several notable sites, including the Seven Pillars of Wisdom, Lawrence’s Creek, the Burdah Bridge rock and
many, many more.
Day 6
Departure
Today we bid our guests farewell. The guests will be picked up and taken to Queen Alia International Airport where
our airport team will assist them with their departure, immigrations and luggage.
