Day 3:  Madaba – Nebo – Petra

Afterwards, proceed to Mt. Nebo where Moses is said to have seen the Promised Land and also where he was later buried.

Day 4: Petra – Wadi Rum 
After breakfast, we will explore the rock city passing through 1 km of a winding narrow gorge or Siq. As you journey through soaring vertical cliffs on either side, you will feel dwarfed by them. After weaving through the sheer pink tinged rock faces, you finally glimpse the Al- Khazneh (treasury), the entrance to which has been carved into a sheer rock face.

The best time to visit is early to mid-morning or late afternoon. During this time, the sun’s position enhances the natural colors of the rocks, giving it a warm glow and offering the perfect time to take photographs. Late afternoon, we depart Petra to the land of the moon for a visit which was known as “Lawrence of Arabia land”. Wadi Rum is known for dramatic desert wilderness. Bedouin tribes still live among the mountains of Rum and their large goat-hair tents are a special feature of the landscape. Dinner and overnight stay under the stars in the Moon valley for some amazing views.

Day 5:  Wadi Rum – Aqaba

Day 6:  Aqaba 
Breakfast at the hotel. The day is yours to spend at leisure and to relax on the beach. Overnight stay at the hotel.

Day 7:  Aqaba – Dead Sea 
After breakfast, we drive to Dead Sea – the Jordan Rift Valley is a dramatic, beautiful landscape, which at the Dead Sea, is over 400 meters (1,312 ft.) below sea level. The lowest point on the face of the earth, this vast, stretch of water receives a number of incoming rivers, including the River Jordan. Once the waters reach the Dead Sea they are land-locked and have nowhere to go, so they evaporate, leaving behind a dense, rich, cocktail of salts and minerals that supply industry, agriculture and medicine with some of its finest products. Afternoon is at leisure to enjoy a spa or a pampering treatment with the many therapeutic options available which are unique to the region. Overnight stay at the hotel.
