After breakfast, go to the Dead Sea, which is located in the Jordan Valley, 55 kilometers southeast of Amman, and is one of the most stunning natural and spiritual settings in the world. It is the lowest body of water on the planet, the lowest point on the planet, and the world's finest source of natural salts, hiding incredible treasures collected over thousands of years. Visit Al Kharraneh Castle, Amra Castle (a UNESCO World Heritage site), and Al Azraq Castle in the Eastern Desert, where Lawrence of Arabia lived and wrote part of his book "Seven Pillars of Wisdom." Dinner and an overnight stay in Amman are included.
Following breakfast, we travel to Jerash, where we can all see the paved and colonnaded streets, soaring hilltop temples, theatres, huge public squares and plazas, baths, fountains, and city walls of the ancient Roman city. Ajloun, one of the most important natural and historical sites in the Middle East, will be visited. Ajloun Castle (Qal'at ArRabad) is a superb example of Islamic architecture, erected in 1184 AD by Saladin's general to control the iron mines of Ajloun and to prevent the Crusaders' progress by commanding the three main roads going to the Jordan valley and safeguarding the communication lines between Jordan and Syria. In Amman, remain for dinner and the night.
After breakfast, travel to Madaba, which is most renowned for its iconic 6th century Mosaic map of Jerusalem and the Holy Land, as well as its beautiful Byzantine and Umayyad mosaics and a visit to St. George's Church. Mt. Nebo is a biblical city where Moses was granted a vision of the Promised Land, which he would never enter. Just along the King's Highway, 190 kilometers south of Amman and less than an hour north of Petra, lies a majestic castle as a lonely reminder of ancient Crusader greatness, topping a cone of rock that rises above a wild and mountainous terrain studded with a grand sweep of fruit trees below. Mont Real (Crak de Montreal) or Mons Regalis, the Fortress of the Royal Mount, was the name given to it by the Crusaders. It was constructed in 1115 by King Baldwin I of Jerusalem to control the passage from Damascus to Egypt, and it was the first in a series of comparable fortifications in the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem. In Petra, remain for dinner and the night.
Visit the Nabatean Red Rose city of Petra, one of the seven wonders of the ancient and a UNESCO World Heritage site, after breakfast. Enter the city through a 1-kilometer-long narrow valley surrounded on either side by 80-meter-high cliffs! Take note of the rocks' stunning hues and shapes. Hundreds of complex rockcut tombs, a treasury, Roman style theatres, temples, sacrificial altars, and colonnaded avenues are all part of the vast site. Dinner and an overnight stay in Petra are included.
