After that, head toward Mount Nebo, a sacred place believed to be the spot where Prophet Moses looked over the Promised Land, and also where he spent his final days. Keep going to Jerash, known as one of the best-preserved Roman cities across the Middle East, so you will wander through ancient streets, temples, and colonnades that feel impressive even now. When the tour ends, come back to your hotel in Madaba for an overnight stay.

Later you’ll head south toward the spectacular Wadi Rum desert, where you will stay overnight among stunning sandstone mountains and calm desert scenes.

Day4

Wadi Rum Desert Adventure & Transfer to Aqaba

After breakfast at your Wadi Rum camp, you start an amazing, a bit unplanned adventure across the breathtaking Wadi Rum Desert, one of Jordan’s most iconic attractions, and also a UNESCO-listed place. Wander through spectacular red dunes, tall sandstone mountains, dramatic gorges, and old rock inscriptions while you’re out there. People often mention Wadi Rum because it is the filming location for Lawrence of Arabia, so you get great views, plus photo opportunities that feel genuinely unforgettable. After that desert experience, carry on to the lovely Red Sea city of Aqaba, where you check in at your hotel, then you rest for the night.

Included Meals: Breakfast

Leisure Day at the Dead Sea

After breakfast, head over to the Dead Sea, which is the lowest point on Earth, for a day of leisure and relaxation.
