Simply Jordan

Your journey begins with an international flight from London to Amman, capital of Jordan. You’ll be met and transferred to your luxury hotel situated in the Jubayha district. Take some time to relax, because the following day your adventure begins with a privately guided city tour.

You’ll take in the atmospheric old quarter with stops at the Roman Theatre, Nymphaeum and ancient Citadel. Later in the afternoon, you’ll make an excursion to the age-old city of Jerash which has been continuously occupied for the last 6,500 years. You’ll discover an incredible collection of ruins – second only to Petra in magnificence – that includes Hadrian’s Arch, the Temple of Artemis and the Oval Plaza.

Stay: Two nights in a standard room at Amman International Hotel – bed & breakfast

Today you’ll be picked up by your driver to begin your journey to Petra along the legendary King’s Highway. Along the way you’ll discover the magnificent Byzantine-era mosaics at Madaba, the Moses memorial atop Mount Nebo – with sweeping views across the Jordan Valley and Dead Sea – as well as the Crusader Fort of Karak.

Upon arrival you will be taken to your hotel which has an exceptional location just steps from the entrance of the ‘Lost City’. Carved into the sheer cliff face by the industrious Nabataean People, Petra is the country’s greatest treasure and a World Heritage Site that needs little introduction. During your stay you’ll discover much of the city’s magnificent rock-cut architecture including Al-Khazneh (the Treasury), Ad Dier (the Monastery), the Street of Facades and the gorge known as the Siq.

Stay: Two nights in a standard room at Petra Guest House – bed & breakfast

On day five you’ll take a private tour of Little Petra, still a great commercial centre, before venturing into the Wadi Rum. Aptly known as the Valley of the Moon, this is an unearthly, untouched place of red sand, monolithic rockscapes and ancient rock drawings. It also has a history that includes the exploits of Prince Faisal Bin Hussein and Lawrence of Arabia. You’ll spend the night at the heart of the desert in a romantic tented camp – a chance to experience the desert in the manner of the Bedouins.

Stay: One night in a standard tent at Sun City Camp – half board

Today you will be driven to your hotel on the shores of the Dead Sea which, at 430 metres below sea level, is the lowest point on Earth. Not technically a sea but a salt lake, this is one of the world’s saltiest bodies of water which allows you to float on the surface of the water. You’ll also be able to enjoy the facilities of your hotel which include an Olympic-sized swimming pool, huge beach, 55-metre waterslide and stunning wellness centre.
