Note: Men must have long trousers on and women must cover their heads, arms and legs.
Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: The Citadel, K. Ali Ben Al-Hussein St. 146, Amman Jordan
The Citadel is considered an important site because it has had a long history of occupation by many great civilizations. Most of the buildings still visible at the site are from the Roman, Byzantine, and Umayyad periods. The major buildings at the site are the Temple of Hercules, a Byzantine church, and the Umayyad Palace.

Archaeologists have been working at the site since the 1920s, including Italian, British, French, Spanish, and Jordanian projects, but a great part of the Citadel remains unexcavated.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Roman Theatre, Al-Hashemi St., Amman Jordan
Step back 2, 000 years in time with a visit to the ruins of this imposing amphitheater, which once held 5, 000 spectators, and is still used today for theater and entertainment.
Duration: 1 minute

Stop At: The Jordan Museum, Ali bin Abi Taleb Street Ras Al-Ayn Area, Amman 11183 Jordan
The Jordan Museum is located in the dynamic new downtown area of Ras al-‘Ayn. Presenting the history and cultural heritage of Jordan in a series of beautifully designed galleries, The Jordan Museum serves as a comprehensive national centre for learning and knowledge that reflects Jordan’s history and culture, and presents in an engaging yet educational way the Kingdom’s historic, antique and heritage property as part of the ongoing story of Jordan’s past, present, and future.
Duration: 1 hour

Meals included:
• Lunch: Local Lunch at the Most famous restaurant for Humous, Foul, and Falafel "Hashem Restaurant". A must-try while in Amman.

Day 2: Visit the North Sites, Nature and Wildlife

Stop At: Jerash Ruins, Jerash Jordan
A close second to Petra on the list of favourite destinations in Jordan. Its imposing ceremonial gates, colonnaded avenues, temples and theatres all speak to the time when this was an important imperial centre. Even the most casual fan of archaeology will enjoy a half-day at the site – but take a hat and sunscreen in the warmer months, as the exposed ruins can be very hot to explore.
Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Ajloun Castle, Ajloun National Park, Jerash 26173 Jordan
This historic castle was built atop Mt ‘Auf (1250m) between 1184 and 1188 by one of Saladin’s generals, ‘Izz ad Din Usama bin Munqidh (who was also Saladin’s nephew). The castle commands views of the Jordan Valley and three wadis leading into it, making it an important strategic link in the defensive chain against the Crusaders and a counterpoint to the Crusader Belvoir Fort on the Sea of Galilee in present-day Israel and the Palestinian Territories.


Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Al Ma'wa for Nature and Wildlife, Al Manar Road, Jerash 26173 Jordan
Al Ma’wa is perched on the hills outside Jerash in one of the few forested areas in the country, an hour north of the capital, Amman. The center is supported by the Princess Alia Foundation and Four Paws.

the sanctuary covers 140 hectares, 75 of which are used for enclosures for large animals, the first of which arrived in Autumn 2016. Al Ma’wa currently provides shelter and care for 17 African lions, 2 Bengali tigers, 2 Syrian brown bears and 2 Asian black bears.

Located between three continents and surrounded by areas of geopolitical tension, Jordan is a crossroads for illegal wildlife trafficking. The country has enacted legislation to protect wildlife and is a signatory to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).
Duration: 3 hours

Meals included:

Accommodation included: Overnight in Amman at the Sydney Hotel (Rated #1 on Tripadvisor as a specialty lodging)

Day 3: Dead Sea, Madaba & Nebo

Stop At: Dead Sea Region, Dead Sea Region
Swim, float, and nourish your skin at the Dead Sea, a hypersaline lake. At 428 m (1, 404 ft) below sea level, it is the earth’s lowest point. However, the sea is most notable for the water’s saltiness, which makes it good for floating and lends it some restorative dermatological properties. Salt and minerals from the sea are used in cosmetics and bath products all over the world.

To access the beach and necessary facilities such as toilets and showers, you need to enter one of the private beaches where entrance fees start from 25 JD per person.
Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Mount Nebo, Madaba Jordan
Mount Nebo is an elevated ridge in Jordan, approximately 817 metres (2, 680 ft) above sea level, mentioned in the Hebrew Bible as the place where Moses was granted a view of the Promised Land. The view from the summit provides a panorama of the Holy Land and, to the north, a more limited one of the valley of the River Jordan. The West Bank city of Jericho is usually visible from the summit, as is Jerusalem on a very clear day.

They have a beautiful Lebanese style restaurant where you can enjoy lunch.

Home to a large Christian population, the town has a longstanding practice of harmony between its Muslim, Catholic, and Greek Orthodox communities.

Oryx, ostriches, Onagers (an Asian wild ass) and gazelles.

You can enjoy a Jeep Safari Tour for a close encounter with the wild animals in the reserve and get to know the various desert plants and their uses in the old times.

Stop At: Azraq Wetland Reserve, Azraq Jordan
The Azraq Wetland Reserve is a nature reserve and oasis for migratory birds. Azraq was established in 1978 and covers 12 square kilometers (4.6 sq mi).

You will enjoy walking the marsh trail which will give you an excellent introduction to the Reserve. The boardwalk leads you through dry and wet areas to a viewing platform overlooking the springs that once released millions of cubic meters of water into the marshland. After leaving the platform, the trail takes you over an ancient black basalt wall, most likely constructed by an Umayyad Caliph. The trail then leads to a bird hide made of local Mud and straw, where you can observe the migratory birds and perhaps catch a glimpse of the water buffalo. Follow the trail back to the Visitor Center, passing yet another part of the ancient basalt wall.
Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Qasr al-Harraneh, about 60 kilometres 37 mi east of Amman 3143′44″N 3627′46″E, Amman Jordan
A UNESCO World Heritage

Built in the early 8th century, this exceptionally well-preserved desert castle was both a fortress with a garrison and a residence of the Umayyad caliphs. The most outstanding features of this small pleasure palace are the reception hall and the hammam, both richly decorated with figurative murals that reflect the secular art of the time.
Duration: 45 minutes

Stop At: Qasr al-Kharrana, Route 40, Amman Jordan
Qasr Kharana is one of the best-known of the desert castles located in present-day eastern Jordan, about 60 kilometres (37 mi) east of Amman and relatively close to the border with Saudi Arabia. It is one of the earliest examples of Islamic architecture in the region.

Its purpose remains unclear today. “Castle” is a misnomer as the building’s internal arrangement does not suggest a military use, and slits in its wall could not have been designed for arrowslits. It could have been a caravanserai, or resting place for traders, but lacks the water source such buildings usually had close by and is not on any major trade routes.
