Overview

This 8 day jordan tour from amman covers far more than the desert in its name. Over a week you see the castles of the Eastern Desert, the Dead Sea, Roman Jerash, the mosaics of Madaba, two days at Petra and a jeep ride through Wadi Rum. Hotels with breakfast and dinner, entrance fees, transport and your Jordan visa arrangements are all part of the package.

You arrive in Amman on day 1. Day 2 heads east to the desert castles of Kharana, Amra and Azraq, then down to the Dead Sea. Day 3 is an Amman city drive, Jerash and Ajloun Castle. Day 4 runs south through Madaba, Mount Nebo and Little Petra to Petra, where you spend day 5 exploring the Rose City. Day 6 is a jeep ride and a night in Wadi Rum, day 7 is the drive back to Amman, and day 8 is your airport transfer.

It suits first-time visitors who want to see the whole country without renting a car or booking each hotel. Eight days means you are never rushed: Petra gets a full day of its own, the north and the desert castles get a day each, and you sleep in Wadi Rum instead of just passing through. For couples, families and friends, this 8 day Jordan tour from Amman is an easy way to cover the classics at a comfortable pace.

You are met at Queen Alia International Airport and taken to your hotel, and on the last day you are driven back for your flight. Choose 3-star, 4-star or 5-star hotels, per person in a double room for 2 or more travelers or a single room if you travel solo. A lower child rate applies on the double room options, and the booking form shows the exact price for your hotel level and number of travelers. The tour departs daily, subject to availability, and is non-refundable because the hotels are pre-paid. Coming from Israel?
