6 Day Jordan Tour from Amman: Petra, Wadi Rum, Dead Sea & Jerash

6 Days
  • 1

Overview

Rose-red cliffs, desert silence, and the buoyant waters of the lowest point on earth set the tone for six unforgettable days in Jordan. Your journey opens in Amman, where ancient citadel stones and Roman arches reveal a capital layered with civilizations, then reaches north to Jerash, one of the Middle East’s most beautifully preserved Greco-Roman cities. Along the King’s Highway, your private guide brings sacred landscapes and fortress histories to life, from the mosaics of Madaba and the sweeping views of Mount Nebo to the brooding Crusader corridors of Kerak Castle. The emotional crescendo comes at Petra, where the Siq narrows into shadow before unveiling the Treasury in glowing sandstone. From there, the mood shifts to the cinematic desert of Wadi Rum, explored by private 4x4 among wind-carved cliffs and wide horizons. The journey softens at the Dead Sea, where you float effortlessly in mineral-rich water before returning to Amman with Jordan’s legends, landscapes, and warm hospitality etched into memory.
