5-Day Magical Jordan Tour
Overview
Amman’s Citadel, Roman Theatre, and Souq give you three different ways into Jordan before you’ve even checked into your hotel. Starting and finishing in Amman, this five-day private tour connects city streets, religious sites, desert tracks, and Petra’s carved monuments. You’ll explore St. George and the Archaeological Park in Madaba, visit Mt. Nebo, and trade sightseeing shoes for swimwear at the Dead Sea. Beach access at Holiday Inn Dead Sea includes a towel, leaving you free to float and swim. In Petra, you’ll walk through the Siq toward the Treasury with an English-speaking local guide, then explore the street of facades, Royal Tombs, and Pharaoh’s Castle. Bring shoes with good grip; these monuments reward time on your feet. Wadi Rum brings a different rhythm: a bumpy ride in an older four-wheel-drive vehicle with a local Bedouin driver, stopping at Lawrence Spring, Red Sand Dunes, and Khazali Canyon. We’ll arrange airport transfers, site entrance fees, four nights in 4-star hotels, and breakfast on Days 2–5. An English-speaking assisting driver handles the road transfers, with local guiding at Petra. You’ll return to Amman with Jordan’s city life, carved stone, and desert landscapes connected in one trip. Full payment is required when booking, and the tour is non-refundable.
