Classic Jordan Tour
8 days from £3155 per person
Explore Jordan’s remarkable heritage on this immersive journey through ancient cities, desert landscapes, and the world’s lowest point. Begin in Amman, where you’ll discover its Roman legacy and panoramic hilltop citadel before travelling to the vast archaeological site of Jerash, home to Hadrian’s Arch and the grand Temple of Artemis. Follow the historic King’s Highway south to Petra, pausing to see the early Christian mosaics at Madaba, the sweeping views from Mount Nebo, and the Crusader stronghold at Kerak. Spend two full days exploring the rose-red city of Petra, uncovering its hidden tombs, temples, and rock-carved façades with a private guide before returning at night to witness the Treasury illuminated by candlelight. Continue to Wadi Rum for a privately guided driving tour through the red sands and dramatic cliffs immortalised by T. E. Lawrence, then travel onwards to the Dead Sea. Here, relax at leisure, floating in its mineral-rich waters or indulging in a rejuvenating mud treatment. The trip includes scheduled international flights, in-destination transfers, privately guided excursions, accommodation throughout, and 24-hour support while you travel.

Suggested Itinerary
Day 1-2
Amman
Your journey begins with an international flight to Amman, where you’re met by a local representative who assists with a smooth arrival, including fast-tracking you through immigration and baggage collection. You’ll then be introduced to your private driver for the 45-minute transfer to your hotel in downtown Amman, giving you time to relax and settle in after your flight.
The following morning, your driver takes you north to the impressive Roman ruins of Jerash for a guided tour of its highlights, including Hadrian’s Arch, the oval Forum, and the Temple of Artemis. Later, return to Amman for a private walking tour exploring its layers of history, from Byzantine relics to bustling modern streets. Visit the Roman Theatre, Husseini Mosque, and the citadel, where sweeping views over the capital bring your day to a fitting close.
Day 3-5
Petra
Set out early with your private driver for the five- to six-hour journey along the ancient King’s Highway to Petra. The scenic route includes visits to the Christian mosaics of Madaba, Mount Nebo with its sweeping views over the Dead Sea, and the imposing crusader castle at Kerak. On arrival, check into the Petra Guesthouse Hotel, ideally located near the site entrance, and perhaps unwind at the atmospheric Cave Bar — carved directly into the rock — for a relaxed evening drink and local entertainment.
The following day begins with a private guided tour of Petra, where you’ll explore the main highlights of this extraordinary archaeological site and learn about its Nabatean origins before continuing to discover at your own pace. With an additional day to explore independently, you can take time to admire the detailed rock carvings, the Royal Tombs, and the Byzantine mosaics, or hike up to the Monastery or High Place of Sacrifice for breathtaking views. As night falls, experience the enchanting Petra by Night show, when the Treasury glows in candlelight, creating an unforgettable finale to your stay.
Day 6-7
The Dead Sea
After breakfast, your private driver takes you on a full-day journey to the Dead Sea, travelling through the striking red rock landscapes of Wadi Rum. Along the way, enjoy a guided tour of the desert’s highlights, including the remains of a Nabataean temple, the small settlement of Rum, and a narrow canyon inscribed with ancient Thamudic carvings. On arrival at the Mövenpick Dead Sea Resort, spend the following day unwinding by the water — float effortlessly on the mineral-rich surface, try a natural mud bath, or enjoy a rejuvenating spa treatment in one of the world’s most tranquil settings.
