Jerusalem - Ajloun - Jerash– Petra & Overnight
At 7:30am (suggested time) you will be collected from your location in Jerusalem and transferred to Alleny Bridge / King Hussein Border Crossing.
On the Jordanian side you will visit the 900-year old castle of Ajloun, built to ward off the Crusader armies at the key trade and pilgrimage intersection between Jerusalem, Cairo, Damascus and Mecca. From there, the tour continues to the ancient Roman city of Jerash – with its colonnaded streets, mosaics, baths, theaters, temples, and hippodrome an awesome blend of Eastern and Western architectural traditions.
Continue south to Petra, via the Desert Hwy and where you will stay overnight.
Petra - Wadi Rum & Overnight
On the second day you will visit Petra, one of the new seven wonders of the world. Carved into the red rocks of the desert cliffs thousands of years ago by the ancient Nabataean people, Petra was hidden under sand for centuries before recently becoming accessible again. You can wander through the red canyons, discover the treasury, the amphitheater, royal tombs, a monastery and many other sites, and walk in the tracks of Lawrence of Arabia and India Jones.
Later that day, we will drive to Wadi Rum, watch the sunset and gaze at the stars in the night sky whilst enjoying the legendary hospitality of the Bedouins, before sleeping at the foot of the awesome mountains exploding out from the desert landscape.
Wadi Rum - Jerusalem
After waking up for some freshly cooked breakfast, go for a wilderness adventure with a 4×4 vehicle. Enjoy the spectacular landscape of Wadi Rum, climb sand dunes and rock bridges and stop for lunch in the shade.
Depart Wadi Rum by 3:00pm and return to King Hussein / Allenby Bridge, and then on to Jerusalem where you will be dropped off at your destination (other locations on request, supplement applies).
Please note that on Fridays and Saturdays the King Hussein/Allenby Bridge closes at 1:00pm. Departure can be via the Jordan River / Northern Border border crossing (supplement applies).
