Day 1: Arrival to Amman
Welcome to Jordan! Today we will meet you upon your arrival at Queen Alia International Airport and assist you with your visa to Jordan, and then walk with you outside the airport to meet our private driver.
From here, we’ll continue to Amman for dinner and overnight at our hotel. We know you’re probably tired from flying, so we’ll keep the itinerary light today.
Meals: D
Day 2: Amman City Tour - Madaba - Mt Nemo - Downtown
After breakfast at our hotel, we will meet our driver and tour guide at 8:30 a.m. to start our Amman City Tour.
We’ll be exploring the Citadel and the Roman Theatre in downtown Amman, both sites that you absolutely cannot miss while visiting Amman. If we’re lucky, you’ll also hear the sounds of the call to prayer, echoing from the many mosques in the city and bouncing off the hills.
Then, we’ll head to Madaba, “The City of Mosaics” where we will explore the St. George Church of the 6th century A.D. and enjoy the Mosaics of the Holy Land Map.
After a short drive, we arrive at Mount Nebo to retrace with our tour guide the steps of Moses and admire the spectacular view of the Promised Land just as he would have over 2,000 years before.
Later, we’ll return to Amman. This evening we’ll be exploring Rainbow Street in downtown Amman.
Meals: B, L, D
Day 3: Madaba - Dead Sea
Today we’ll also take a drive to Jerash, site of a former Roman empire. Tonight, we’ll visit Jordan Rivers Design, a women-owned cooperative, to shop for handmade artifacts before dinner together as a group.
On a clear day, Jerusalem, Jericho, and the Dead Sea can be seen. A memorial in Moses’ honor can be found at the entrance to the early Byzantine Christian church where Moses is believed to have died.
After, we’ll check into our luxury hotel at the Dead Sea for an afternoon of downtime, floating, and fun.
Meals: B, L, D
Day 4: Dead Sea
We’re in such a beautiful place, so today is yours to just chill and enjoy. Spend your day at the spa, float in the Dead Sea, or soak up the views from the resort’s many infinity pools.
There is a lot to see and do in Jordan, but this is also your vacation — enjoy this relaxing day to unwind in the most gorgeous of places.
Meals: B, D
Day 5: Kerak - Petra by night
In the morning we will have breakfast at our Dead Sea hotel and some free time to enjoy the luxurious amenities of the property. Then we will drive towards the ancient crusader castle in Karak to explore the maze of stone-vaulted halls and passageways.
The city of Karak was the capital of Moab and the castle dominates the skyline. The castle provides an impressive insight into the architectural and military skills of the Crusaders. After that, we’ll transfer to Petra for our overnight at a 5-star hotel.
Tonight, we’ll enjoy something very special: seeing Petra at night, lit only by the light of a thousand candles. It’s so magical and perfect it just might make you cry!
This is a special experience that only happens on certain days of the week. We made sure to time this tour just right to give you that opportunity.
Overnight in Petra.
Meals: B, L, D
Day 6: Petra
Today is all about Petra. And for good reason – it’s one of the 7 wonders of the world!
Exploring Petra and its many buildings and vantage points really requires the day, which is why we’re setting out after breakfast. You’ll have time today to hike to the Monastery, walk around to different points of interest, and enjoy this stunning wonder.
Marvel at the beauty of the Lost City, the Red Rose City of Petra, exploring its many caves and tombs. Walk through the canyon and be astounded at the magnificent Treasury, the entrance guarding the ancient Nabatean city, now one of the Modern 7 Wonders of the World.
In the afternoon, the group will meet back up at our meeting point, and return to the hotel for dinner in a Bedouin tent.
Meals: B, L, D
Day 7: Wadi Rum
After breakfast, we will drive to Wadi Rum, a nature reserve that honestly looks like Mars (no wonder its been the set of movies from Star Wars to the Martian!)
Today, we’ll enjoy the wilderness adventure of a 4 x 4 jeep tour of Wadi Rum, following in the footsteps of Lawrence of Arabia, climbing sand dunes and rock bridges.
Our camp tonight is in the middle of the desert, which will give you the chance to marvel at the sunset and gaze at the stars in the night sky whilst enjoying the legendary hospitality of the Bedouin, before sleeping at the foot of the awesome mountains exploding out from the desert landscape.
Dinner and overnight in Wadi Rum.
Meals: B, L, D
Day 8: Aqaba
After breakfast and checking out of our bubble tents in Wadi Rum, we’ll begin our drive to Aqaba. Arriving early means we have plenty of time to explore the downtown Aqaba spice market – a great place to stock up on spices you’d never find at home!
After lunch, we’ll check into our hotel, and you’ll have the rest of the day at your leisure to relax and enjoy.
Dinner as a group in the evening.
Meals: B, L, D
Day 9: Departures
Today after breakfast we will head as a group to the Aqaba airport to catch a flight to Amman.
Our flight arrives at Amman airport today, where our tour officially concludes. If you are catching a flight home today, please ensure your return flight departs the Amman airport after 3 p.m.

I just returned from the Damesly Jordan trip. To describe it in one word…..AMAZING! The trip was well organized from start to finish. We had a wonderful trip leader, Timathea, and local English-speaking guide, Fadi. The women on the trip were very friendly. The hotels and restaurants were included in the trip cost and were top-notch. We swam in the Dead Sea and the Red Sea, and visited the Citadel, Madaba (mosaics), Petra (one of the 7 wonders of the world), Wadi Rum (desert) and many other amazing places. We rode camels!!! And, of course, we went SHOPPING! We even bought spices from a local place in Aqaba (Red Sea). I can’t say enough good things about this trip. I felt safe and comfortable the entire time. Jordan is a wonderful, modern country with friendly people. If you are even thinking about this trip or any other Damesly trip, I say GO for it!

Wow- what a beautiful country with so much to see from the ruins of civilizations past to the profound beauty of all the nature. Wadi Rum was other worldly amazing. This Damesly led adventure was a great way to delve into the experience and see all Jordan had to offer. This having been my first tour, I was a bit hesitant about the experience but from the first moment meeting our guide (Fadi) and our lead (Timi), I knew we were in good hands. They made the experience easy, fun and took care of all the details, including our requests along the way. I’m already daydreaming about returning to Jordan and planning my next Damesly adventure!

What a phenomenal and well organized trip! You can’t beat visiting one of the seven world wonders, Petra, swimming in the Dead Sea and exploring the desert Wadi Rum. Our guides were professional, knowledgeable and attentive. Accommodations were fantastic and I can’t say enough about the delectable food. So many activities, such a beautiful and safe country. One word, MAGICAL destination !!!!
