Day 1: Arrival and Amman
Your journey begins with a warm welcome at Queen Alia International Airport. The tour includes meet and assist services, plus visa support and a free tourist visa—a significant value add for international travelers. Once in Amman, you’ll be transferred to your hotel to rest after your flight. Reviews highlight the smooth airport experience, with many appreciating the support from Sherazade’s team, especially the personalized assistance provided upon arrival.
Day 2: From Madaba to Petra
The second day kicks off after breakfast with a scenic drive south along the Kingsway. The first stop is Madaba, famous for its extraordinary mosaics. The Greek Orthodox Church of St. George houses mosaics still in their original placement, which helps you appreciate the artistry of the ancient Nabateans. One reviewer loved the visit here, calling it “a mosaic-filled city with a lot of history,” and appreciated the free entry.
Next, you’ll ascend Mount Nebo, believed to be the site of Moses’ tomb. The panoramic views over the Jordan Valley are stunning, making it a photographer’s dream. Visitors often comment on the peaceful atmosphere and the meaningful connection to biblical history.
The journey continues to Kerak, home to a crusader fortress that’s a must-see for history buffs. The fortress’s underground galleries and secret passageways are a highlight, and many reviews mention how the fortress’s defensive walls still stand proudly after centuries. The visit lasts about two hours and offers a genuine sense of Jordan’s medieval past.
Finally, the day concludes in Wadi Musa, the gateway to Petra. Many travelers describe the drive as “scenic and calming,” setting the tone for the extraordinary day ahead.

Day 3: The Marvel of Petra and Wadi Rum
No trip to Jordan is complete without visiting Petra, and day three dedicates about four hours to exploring this world-famous archaeological site. Carved into rose-red cliffs over 2,000 years ago by the Nabateans, Petra’s intricate facades—like the Treasury—are breathtaking. Several reviews mention that the guides provide insightful commentary, making the history come alive, even in just a few hours.
Post-Petra, the adventure shifts to Wadi Rum, where you’ll enjoy a two-hour Jeep tour across the desert’s dramatic sandstone mountains. Travelers who’ve experienced this rave about the vast, unspoiled landscape and the authentic Bedouin hospitality at camp. One reviewer noted that the desert views felt like “a scene from a movie,” especially since Wadi Rum was the filming location for “The Martian.”
Dinner and overnight at a Bedouin camp give you a taste of nomadic life, with many guests praising the authentic experience and friendly hosts.
Day 4: Wadi Rum and the Dead Sea
The morning is dedicated to further exploration of Wadi Rum’s stunning natural beauty, with a second two-hour Jeep tour. Expect to see towering sandstone formations, rugged mountains, and sweeping desert vistas. Reviewers mention that guides are knowledgeable about the landscape’s geology and history, making the ride both fun and educational.
In the afternoon, you’ll head to the Dead Sea region—the lowest point on Earth at 400 meters below sea level. Floating effortlessly in the super salty water is a surreal experience many travelers highlight. The water’s warmth and the mineral-rich mud make for a relaxing and rejuvenating stop. Guests often enjoy free time here to unwind and even use the mud for a natural spa treatment, as some reviews suggest.
Day 5: Departure from Amman
Your memorable journey concludes with a transfer back to Queen Alia International Airport. The tour’s inclusion of transportation from start to finish ensures a hassle-free departure, which many reviewers appreciated, especially after their full, adventure-packed days.
The all-inclusive pricing of $870 per person might seem upfront, but when you consider that it covers flights, accommodations, entrance fees, and transportation, it’s a sensible investment for peace of mind. Many reviews emphasize how well-organized the trip feels, with drivers and guides who go above and beyond to provide insights and support.

One reviewer pointed out that their driver, Alauddin, “drove safely and expertly through sand and snow storms,” highlighting the professionalism and skill of the team. This gives peace of mind, especially when navigating some of Jordan’s more remote areas.
The inclusion of a Bedouin camp stay and the chance to float at the Dead Sea are unique experiences that add genuine authenticity to your trip. With dinners included, you also get a taste of Jordanian hospitality, often praised for its warmth and friendliness.
