Discover the hidden treasures of Jordan on this week-long holiday where you’ll experience the lost city, one of the seven wonders of the world and ride through the Valley of the Moon.
Your luxury holiday in Jordan starts in Amman where you’ll be staying at the Four Seasons set atop the tallest of Amman’s seven hills. Spend the evening discovering the Roman ruins, majestic mosques and climb one of the many hills for views across the Citadel. You’ll spend the next day on a guided Jerash tour around the ancient Roman city, where you will walk around the colonnaded streets, temples, theatres and more in the ancient city, getting a unique insight into its storied past. On your tour of Jordan, Petra will undoubtedly be one of your highlights, with not just one but two visits to the UNESCO-protected Lost City.
First you’ll explore Petra at the start of the day, being the first to enter the red rose city and later at night when it’s lit up by the light of 1,800 candles. Following the candle lit path and stopping for a Bedouin musical show at the Treasury. Thrill-seekers will be in their element when you ride through golden sands on a Wadi Rum jeep tour, also described as the Valley of Moon due to its striking rock formations. Your holiday concludes in the stunning Dead Sea, where you’ll stay and explore the lowest point on Earth. With two nights at Kempinski Hotel Ishtar you can unwind on the private golden beach, swim in the lagoons and float weightlessly in the Dead Sea.
Experience highlights
- Visit the impressive Roman ruins of Jerash with a local guide. This is Jordan’s largest Roman site which includes the paved and Colonnaded Streets, soaring hilltop temples, ancient theatres, fountains and city walls.
- Learn about the history of Madaba from your expert guide. A city best known for the famous 6th century Mosaic map of Jerusalem & Holy Land and for its spectacular Byzantine and Umayyad mosaics, you’ll also visit of St. George’s church.
- Just off the King’s Highway, less than an hour from Petra stands an impressive castle as a lonely reminder of former Crusader glory dating from the same turbulent period as Kerak. Built in 1115, today it is known as Shobak, but to the Crusaders it was Mont Real or Mons Regalis.
- Wake up early to visit and be the first to enter one of the seven world wonders and a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Nabatean Red Rose city of Petra. Enter the city through 1km long narrow gorge which is flanked either side by staggeringly high cliffs as you explore hundreds of elaborated rock-cut tombs, a treasury, Roman-style theatres, temples, and sacrificial altars.
- A truly out-of-this-world experience awaits when you revisit Petra, this time at night. Lit up by the light of 1,800 candles, walk through the Siq to the Khazneh following a candle-lit path and enjoy the charming music of the Bedouins at the Treasury.
- Spend the night in the heart of Little Petra with breathtaking views of the Petra Mountains from your tented suite at Bubble Luxotel Petra. Each suite comes with a private outdoor hot tub for an unforgettable evening under the stars.
- Ride into the untouched Jordanian dunes with a private jeep ride on a Wadi Rum desert tour. Best described by T.E. Lawrence as “Vast, echoing and god-like”, and by the locals as “Valley of the Moon”.
- Enjoy an afternoon discovering Al-Beida, also known as Little Petra, in a town called Wadi Musa (meaning the Valley of Moses) and stop for tea with a local bedouins.
- Feel the weightless as you float in the spiritual Dead Sea. It is the lowest body of water on Earth and the world’s richest source of natural salts, for a uniquely healing experience.
