Day-by-Day Breakdown of the Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival and Rest in Amman
Your journey begins with a pick-up from the airport, followed by a short 30-minute transfer to your hotel. The remainder of the day is free — perfect for settling in, maybe exploring a local cafe, or just resting after your journey. This simple start sets a relaxed tone for the upcoming days.
Day 2: Jerash and Ajlun Castle
Your first full day is dedicated to exploring some of Jordan’s most impressive ancient sites. Jerash, known as the “Pompeii of the East,” boasts remarkably well-preserved Roman ruins. Walking among the ruins, you’ll see the Roman Theater, the impressive Hadrian’s Arch, and the grand temples like the Temple of Artemis.
A highlight was noted by a reviewer who enjoyed wandering through the marketplace afterward, discovering handmade crafts and local sweets. The experience of walking through these ruins is enhanced by a knowledgeable guide, making history come alive.
After Jerash, you’ll visit Ajlun Castle, built by Saladin’s forces to defend against Crusaders. The castle offers a fantastic panoramic view of the surrounding hills and the opportunity to imagine medieval warfare. While admission tickets are not included, the site itself offers a tangible link to Jordan’s turbulent past.
Day 3: Mount Nebo and Kerak
This day begins with a visit to Mount Nebo, where Moses is said to have seen the Promised Land. The views from here are spectacular — on clear days, you can see across the Jordan Valley and even the Dead Sea.
Next, the tour heads to Madaba, famous for its Byzantine mosaics, including the world-renowned Madaba Map. This ancient mosaic map of the Holy Land reveals the artistry and spiritual significance of the region.
The afternoon offers an optional activity: Petra by Night, which gives a magical, illuminated view of the Siq and Treasury. The review mentioned how this “magical” experience added a mystical dimension to their trip, making it a memorable highlight.
Karak Castle is the final stop, a well-preserved Crusader fortress perched atop a high hill, offering a glimpse into medieval military architecture. The city surrounding the castle still retains Ottoman-era buildings, adding to the sense of stepping back in time.
Day 4: Petra and Wadi Rum
The crown jewel of Jordan, Petra, is a full-day exploration. Starting early, you’ll walk through the narrow Siq to reach the iconic Treasury, then continue to the Street of Facades, the Amphitheater, and the Royal Tombs. For those with energy, climbing up to the High Place of Sacrifice or the Monastery offers breathtaking views and a sense of achievement.
A reviewer noted the frustration of not having a guide included but appreciated the freedom to explore at their pace. The entrance fees are covered if you have a Jordan Pass, which makes the experience even more cost-effective.
Post-Petra, the adventure continues in Wadi Rum, a vast desert landscape scattered with towering basalt formations. Here, you can enjoy bedouin hospitality, perhaps even trying a traditional meal, before falling asleep under a blanket of stars.
Day 5: Dead Sea Relaxation
After waking up in Wadi Rum, the next stop is the Dead Sea. Known for its super-salty waters that buoy you effortlessly, the Dead Sea offers incredible relaxation and skin benefits. The tour includes a stay at a resort where you can float, take mineral-rich mud baths, and unwind after days of sightseeing.
One reviewer mentioned that the Dead Sea was the perfect way to conclude their trip — a calming, memorable experience that differs from the rest of the tour’s exploration.
Day 6: Departure
Your last morning offers a peaceful sea view to enjoy before heading back to Queen Alia Airport. The transfer is straightforward, ensuring you arrive at the airport with plenty of time for your flight.

The optional Petra by Night adds a touch of magic, transforming the ancient city into an enchanting scene lit by thousands of candles. This is a rare experience that many travelers cherish, especially when combined with the full-day Petra visit.
The inclusion of Wadi Rum and the Dead Sea balances cultural history with natural wonders, giving you diverse perspectives of Jordan. Staying in well-rated hotels and resorts ensures a comfortable retreat after each day’s adventures.
