Breakfast Included
Breakfast will be ready for you at the hotel to prepare you for the day ahead. Check out of the hotel in Amman and board the coach to continue your tour of Jordan. Today’s excursion will start with a city tour of Amman before you leave. Amman itself is a 7000-year-old city capital, highlighting the Amman Citadel as its primary iconic sight. You may also visit the Amman Archaeological Museum, Hercules Temple, Byzantine Church & the Ummayad Palace. You will also find the Roman Amphitheater right next to the Folklore Museum. The downtown area is ideal for a casual stroll and shopping experience right by the old markets, there are also some more modern malls if that is more to your liking. Up next is Madaba located just 30 minutes outside Amman along the King’s Highway. This excursion will highlight Madaba’s St. George Church & Mosaic Map portraying the Holy Land using over 2 million mosaic pieces, mapping the entire Jordan along with Palestine and Egypt. Next, you will visit Moses Mountain (locally named Mount Nebo). Located just 10 minutes from Madaba. A significant location where Moses’ Tomb is seemingly located. The mountain overlooks the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea and the West Bank along with Jerusalem. There is also a Byzantine Church that serves as a memorial for the Prophet Moses. Since we are already traversing through the King’s Highway, it is worth noting that this scenic route is composed of the Mujib and Arnon valleys. This route has served a great role in trade for many years, running through Heliopolis, Egypt to the Sinai Desert-- covering many cities along the way. Ultimately, the drive will take you to Petra where you will immediately check into the hotel as soon as you reach the city and have the rest of the day at leisure. Overnight in Petra.
