day 1Join trip in Amman
Our tour of Jordan starts in Amman, one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world. Home to almost half of Jordan's entire population, Amman is a fascinating city of contrasts, where the ancient and the modern collide. Get lost in the bustling souks of downtown, where you'll be tempted by falafel and baklawa stalls, or visit the hillside Roman Theatre for a taster of the city's varied history. There are no activities planned for today, so you're free to arrive in Amman at any time. If you'd like an airport transfer, you'll need to arrive at Queen Alia International Airport (AMM), a 30-minute drive from our hotel. Due to most flights arriving late in the evening, our tour leader will meet you for a welcome meeting the next morning. You'll find the meeting information on the notice board in the hotel reception.

Customer Reviews
I absolutely loved this trip.
Jordan did not disappoint. Having two full days in Petra allowed good exploration. This included a visit to little Petra. Make sure you go to the Monastery. It’s well worth all the steps. A night in Wadi Rum was enjoyable. Cold in December but plenty of blankets. No one had to use the communal tent. We were the only group at the camp. This may not always be the case. The optional camel ride is fun and I’d recommend it. The jeep rides are bumpy but again good fun and the only way to take in the vast scenery. Make sure you embrace the mud at the Dead Sea. The hotels were all very good. Buffet breakfasts. Food at Wadi Rum was particularly good. Restaurant meals for dinner were about 15 dinar (including drinks). Food good and plentiful. The bus was a little cramped for 15 of us but the driver was excellent and very safe. The guide was very good and passionate about his country. He knows everyone. Jordan felt very safe. An Explore representative meets you in the airport and takes you through immigration. We were lucky with good weather. Sunny and dry all week. Good group of people to share this experience with. I would definitely recommend this trip.
Jordan is a gem! The best destination I've ever been to and I have travelled a lot! A magical adventure! Biblical landscapes, iconic sights, great company, and a perfect pace. Jordan is very safe; the people are warm, and the infrastructure is excellent. I was sad to leave!
Amazing trip to a beauitful country - would highly reccomend this trip there is so much to see and do, it was beyond my expectations. The people of Jordan are extremely friendly and helpfull, and in addition it was very safe.
Jordan is a fantastic location. Strongly recommended for the variety of cultural and historical visits, the fabulous scenery and the range of interesting and unique activities. The Roman town of Jerash was the highlight, closely followed by Petra. Our local guide, Saleh, was so very knowledgeable and friendly. We felt completely safe. We covered so much in our week. Excellent value.
