Itinerary

Short on time but eager to see Jordan’s highlights? The "Petra & The Dead Sea - 4 days" tour package delivers a concentrated dose of history, culture, and relaxation. Discover the legendary Rose Red City of Petra, a UNESCO World Heritage site, explore the imposing Shobak Crusader Castle, and gaze across the Promised Land from sacred Mount Nebo. This easy-paced private tour is an excellent choice for travelers—especially seniors and those seeking comfort—who want to experience the best of Jordan in just a few days. The finale: a blissful stay at the Dead Sea, renowned for its therapeutic waters and stunning scenery. With accommodation, transport, and meals all included, this trip makes a memorable introduction to Jordan’s most iconic destinations.

day 1 - Welcome to Jordan!

Amman - Petra. Upon arrival at Amman's Queen Alia Airport you will be met and transferred directly to Petra, a three hour drive away. Check in to your hotel and spend the remainder of the day at leisure.

This evening or tomorrow evening, why not try your hand at our Petra Kitchen Add-on to join fellow travellers for a cuisine course at the local Petra Kitchen, where you'll help prepare a memorable Jordanian feast, then sit and enjoy the meal. Petra Kitchen is offered on Tuesdays and Fridays only – best pre booked to secure your place.

Contemplate doing the Petra by Night excursion (approx. USD$45 payable locally) for a tantalizing candlelight stroll through Petra’s Siq (available Sunday to Thursday only).

OverNight:Petra

day 2 - UNESCO World Heritage Site of Petra

After breakfast, spend the day with your private guide exploring the ancient Nabatean Rose City of Petra - a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Access the hidden archaeological treasures of the Rose City on a walk through a narrow, deep siq, where the rocks finally give way to reveal the famous facade of Al-Khazneh (The Treasury). Once inside the ancient city, discover tombs, temples, an impressive amphitheatre and a Roman colonnaded street. If you're feeling energetic, ascend the hundreds of rock-cut steps to Ad-Deir, better known as the Monastery. Ad-Deir has a similar facade to that of the Treasury, but is far bigger and the views from the nearby cliff-tops are incredible!

Meals:1 Breakfast

OverNight:Petra

day 3 - Mt Nebo, Shobak Castle & the Dead Sea

Petra - Shobak Castle - Madaba - Mt Nebo - Dead Sea. This morning we take a short drive to visit Little Petra and the Baidha Neolithic Village, hidden away in the centre of a mountain. Although, much smaller than Petra, Baidha is brimming with ancient tombs and temples. En route to the Dead Sea we'll journey over the Heisha Mountains and visit the crusader castle of Shobak. This 12th century fortress perches on the side of a rocky mountain.

Continuing, we visit Madaba, where we’ll see the world’s largest collection of ancient mosaics and visit St. George Church to see its famous 6th Century map of the Holy Land. Our final sightseeing stop today is Mt. Nebo, where Moses viewed the Promised Land. Here, we can take in the breathtaking views of the Jordan Valley, Dead Sea, Jericho and if it’s a clear day, Jerusalem. We’ll arrive at the Dead Sea at around 4pm, to check in to our hotel. It’s then time to bid farewell to our guide as they will make their way back to Amman after reconfirming your airport departure time tomorrow. Enjoy a dip in the unusually warm and incredibly buoyant mineral rich waters and smother yourself in Dead Sea mud. The Dead Sea, renowned for its curative powers and therapeutic qualities, is the world's oldest spa!

Should you wish to drive directly from Petra to the Dead Sea, or exclude any of today’s touring arrangements and allowing more time to relax at the Dead Sea (depending on departure flights) this can be arranged, please enquire.

Meals:1 Breakfast

OverNight:Dead Sea

day 4 - Final dip in the Dead Sea

Dead Sea - Amman. Take a final dip in the Dead Sea, or enjoy a spa treatment (book locally) this morning. Hotel check out is at noon and there's an included transfer to Amman's Queen Alia Airport to meet your onward flight.
