Jordan Extension to Egypt Women-Only Tour

Today, explore the Roman ruins of Jerash and Ajloun. Depart your hotel in Amman to visit Jerash, widely regarded as one of the most beautifully preserved cities in the world, nestled at the bottom of a green valley. Start the tour from the “South Gate” into the “Oval Plaza”, continue your way down through the “Street of Columns” until you reach the “Arch of Triumph” built on the honour of Emperor Hadrian in 129 AD. This afternoon, visit the castle of Ajloun located on a high peak overlooking the city of Ajloun. According to Salah-Eddin biographer, this castle was built between 1184 and 1185 by one of the Salah-Eddin nephews, to oppose the Crusaders castles of Kerak and Shobak. Later this afternoon return to Amman. This evening dinner is included at your hotel.

This morning, depart Amman and journey along the historic King's Highway, one of the world’s oldest trade routes, toward Petra. This scenic drive offers a glimpse into Jordan’s rich past, with stops at key historical sites. In Madaba, marvel at the 6th-century mosaic map of the Holy Land, a stunning relic of Byzantine craftsmanship. Continue to Mount Nebo, where Moses is said to have gazed upon the Promised Land, and take in the breathtaking views of the Jordan Valley. Next, explore the imposing Kerak Crusader Castle, a 12th-century fortress showcasing medieval military architecture. Arriving in Petra, discover the legendary “Rose City,” a marvel carved into vibrant sandstone cliffs. Once the thriving capital of the Nabataeans, Petra remained hidden for centuries until its rediscovery in 1812. To truly appreciate its grandeur, visit in the soft light of morning or late afternoon, when the rock formations glow in shades of red and gold. This evening dinner is included at your hotel.

This morning, embark on an unforgettable journey through Petra, the ancient Nabatean city carved into rose-red cliffs. Enter through the dramatic Siq, a narrow canyon with towering rock walls, leading to the breathtaking sight of El Khazneh—the Treasury—one of Petra’s most iconic landmarks. With a local guide, explore the city's fascinating rock-cut tombs, temples, and monuments, including the impressive 3,000-seat Roman-era theatre and the grand Palace Tomb, reflecting classical architectural influences. After the guided tour, spend the remainder of the day at leisure to explore Petra at your own pace. Dinner is included tonight at your hotel.

Optional: Hike up to the Monastery for panoramic views, wander through the ancient colonnaded streets, or simply soak in the awe-inspiring atmosphere of this lost city, where history and mystery blend seamlessly with the stunning desert landscape.

Optional (supplement applies): Petra by Night @ 8:30 pm
Experience the magic of Petra by Night, as thousands of candles illuminate the ancient Siq and Treasury. Experience Bedouin music and storytelling in this unforgettable, atmospheric journey through history and legend.

Departing Petra, make a short stop to view the rugged landscapes of Little Petra, a hidden gem showcasing Nabatean architecture in a more intimate setting. Wander through its narrow Siq, ancient dwellings, and carved facades before continuing south to the breathtaking desert of Wadi Rum. This vast, otherworldly expanse, often called the "Valley of the Moon," was once traversed by Lawrence of Arabia and his Arab liberation army. Upon arrival, embark on a thrilling 4WD adventure, navigating with a local driver, off road through towering sandstone mountains, deep canyons, and rolling dunes sculpted by time and wind. Witness ancient petroglyphs etched into the rocks and experience the raw beauty of this untouched wilderness. As the sun casts golden hues over the desert, immerse yourself in the silence and vastness of Wadi Rum, a landscape so surreal it feels like stepping onto another planet. A truly unforgettable desert experience awaits. Dinner this evening is included at your overnight Tented Camp.

Depart Wadi Rum and journey north through the striking landscapes of Jordan, arriving at the legendary Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth. Nestled in the Jordan Rift Valley, this remarkable body of water stretches 75 kilometres in length and is renowned for its high salt and mineral content, nearly ten times saltier than the ocean. With no outlet and a rapid evaporation rate, the Dead Sea's waters create a unique, buoyant experience—floating effortlessly on its surface is a must-try sensation. The mineral-rich mud is famed for its therapeutic and skin-nourishing properties, a natural spa treatment enjoyed since the time of Herod the Great. Arrive at the Movenpick Hotel, located on the shoreline of the Dead Sea. Spend the afternoon at leisure, soaking up the serene atmosphere, exploring the shoreline, or indulging in a revitalizing mud bath. The Dead Sea offers a one-of-a-kind experience, combining relaxation, history, and breathtaking natural beauty. Watch the spectacular sunset followed by dinner at your hotel.
