Arrival in Amman

Amman - Welcome to Jordan! Upon arrival at Queen Alia International Airport, transfer to your charming boutique hotel in Amman (airport pickup can be arranged as an add-on). Enjoy a leisurely evening — explore the cafés and sunset viewpoints of Jabal Weibdeh or stroll along the lively Rainbow Street. Overnight stay in Amman.

Jerash Ruins + Forest Hike + Traditional Lunch

Jerash Governorate - Begin your day with a guided tour of the ancient Roman city of Jerash, one of the most well-preserved Greco-Roman cities outside of Italy.

Ajlun - Then, venture into the Zoubia or Rasoun forest trail for a moderate hike through refreshing pine woodlands and spring-fed valleys. After your hike, savor a warm home-cooked lunch hosted by a local family in one of Jordan’s mountain villages — a truly personal experience.

Wadi Salaita: Jordan’s Wildest Canyon

Madaba - Travel south into Jordan’s rugged heart for a full-day canyoning adventure in Wadi Salaita — a raw, technical canyon known for its wild terrain, towering cliffs, and natural pools. With the guidance of your expert and safety gear, you’ll rappel, wade, and scramble through this unforgettable landscape.

Dana Nature Reserve - Later, transfer to the serene highlands of Dana Biosphere Reserve for a peaceful evening in the mountains.

Wadi Ghuweir: Hidden Canyon Hike

Ma’an - Start the day with a descent into Wadi Ghuweir, a lush, flowing canyon that stretches over 13 kilometers through sandstone corridors and hanging gardens. This is one of Jordan’s most breathtaking hidden hikes — anticipate shallow streams, palm groves, and surreal canyon walls as you venture deep into the wilderness. In rare cases of unsafe conditions, the iconic Dana-to-Feynan desert trail will be the alternative.

Petra - Wadi Musa - After the hike, transfer from Feynan to Wadi Musa (Petra) for dinner and an overnight stay.

Petra via the Monastery Back Trail

Petra - Transfer to Little Petra, a tranquil archaeological site north of the main city. From there, embark on the Monastery back trail hike, one of Petra’s most stunning approaches — ascending into the city from the high mountains, away from the main gate. Discover the Monastery, Royal Tombs, Treasury, and other world-renowned wonders with your guide.

Wadi Rum Jeep Safari & Desert Camp

Wadi Rum - Head south into the vast expanse of Wadi Rum, Jordan’s iconic red desert. In the afternoon, enjoy a sunset jeep safari, uncovering ancient petroglyphs, dramatic rock arches, and sweeping dune fields. Later, gather around the fire for a traditional Bedouin dinner, stargazing in complete silence beneath the stars.

Dead Sea Day Pass & Return to Amman

Dead Sea Region - Relish a tranquil morning in the desert, then transfer north for a refreshing final day at the Dead Sea. Use your resort day pass to float in the salty waters, indulge in a healing mud treatment, and relax by the pool.

Amman - In the evening, return to Amman for your final night.
