day 1Amman

Arrive at any time. Arrival transfer is included.
Arrive in Amman at any time, there are no planned activities. Meet your National Geographic Expedition Leader this evening for a welcome meeting to learn more about the tour and plans for the following day, choose to head out for an optional dinner at a local restaurant with your Expedition Leader and the group.
Amman is a very big city and there is not one central area to stay - hotels are spread out across various neighbourhoods within the city, often on busy streets without pedestrian walkways - getting around the city, for visitors and locals, is done by car. For this reason, to move around the city in your free time, you will have to take a taxi, please feel free to ask your Expedition Leader for recommendations and assistance.

It was a wonderful experience with knowledgeable, resourceful and engaging guides. Pace was great nice level of activity. Both guides were able to time the sequence and timing of visits to the sites perfectly to maximize enjoyment and minimize crowds (i.e 5:30 wake up to beat the crowds at Petra) We came away with a true appreciation of the countries, cultures and history.
