Arrive in Amman where you will be met for your private transfer to your hotel to start your private Petra Tour. Overnight in Amman.

Start your short break to Petra by exploring the King's Highway,once part of the ancient Silk Rd. Visit the Christian town of Madaba - "the city of Mosaics", the Monastery in Mt Nebo, one of the most revered holy sites in Jordan as Moses was buried here.

Also visit the magnificent Crusader Fortress of Kerak via Wadi Al Mujib, a deep valley with one of Jordan's most breathtaking views. Continue onto Petra.

After breakfast your private Petra tour starts with a walk to the Siq (or on horseback) , followed by a walk through this long narrow fissure between two overhanging cliffs that leads you to the heart of Petra.

The tour then gradually unfolds the mysteries of the Red Rose city with its spectacular Treasury, Royal Tombs, burial chambers and high places of sacrifice. Afternoon at leisure to explore upper Petra. Overnight in Petra.

After breakfast your short break to Petra continues with a private transfer to the Dead Sea with one stop on the way to see what is believed to be John’s baptismal site. In the late 5th century a church was built here but the recurrent flooding of the river has meant that it had to be rebuilt several times. At least three other churches have been discovered, built in the 6th and 7th centuries.

Afterwards continue to the Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth, for your afternoon at leisure. Enjoy the hotel and for the intrepid a swim (or should we say float) in the Dead Sea.
