3. 3Drive down King's Highway to Petra via Mount Nebo, Madaba and Kerak⌄

   Mount Nebo is steeped in religious significance as it is believed to be the place that Moses stood on to view the sacred Promised Land before his death. According to the Book of Deuteronomy Moses died on Mount Nebo and was buried in Moab. In the fourth century, a small monastery was built by Egyptian monks on the mountain peak in memory of Moses. This church was then reconstructed in the fifth century into a basilica. The basilica still stands on Mount Nebo today and contains a fascinating collection of Byzantine mosaics.

   Dating back to around 4500 years, Madaba is noted in the Bible for the notable conquest by King Sihon of Heshbon. Though very little evidence of the city’s regal past remains, there are still some churches and pathways with remnants of the Byzantine era. The mosaics that adorn these ancient buildings provided Madaba with the name ‘City of Mosaics’. the most famous sites St George’s Church, which is home to the largest mosaic map in the world

   Kerak Castle is a dark maze of stone-vaulted halls and endless passageways. The best preserved are underground and can be reached via a massive door (ask at the ticket desk). More imposing than beautiful, the castle is nevertheless an impressive insight into the architectural military genius of the Crusaders. With some care, you can walk along the crenellated top of the West Front wall and admire the sweeping view. On clear days, you can look across the Dead Sea and see all the way to the Mount of Olives bordering Jerusalem.

4. 4Petra Visit - Little Petra - Wadi Rum " Jeep Tour "⌄

   To enter Petra, your expert leader will take you down a narrow chasm, known as the Siq, which is surrounded by high cliffs on either side. You’ll explore Al Khazneh, an elaborate temple known as The Treasury, which was once inhabited by the Arabs of the Nabataean Kingdom. Continuing to the city centre, we pass houses and visit the tombs of the rich citizens. Witness the vastness and sheer beauty of this ancient city from various vantage points. There is also an optional walk up 850 steps to El Deir, a monumental monastery carved out of rock.

   Al Beidha is an ancient archaeological site located a few kilometers north of the World UNESCO site of Petra. Al Beidha is also known as Little Petra due to its similarities in architecture. Unlike Petra, Al Beidha (Little Petra) sees far fewer tourists making it a more peaceful atmosphere compared to other popular landmarks in Jordan. It is well connected to the nearby town of Wadi Musa and visitors should allow around half a day to explore Little Petra. Al Beidha is a Neolithic village that is believed to have been occupied from 7200 BC until 6500 BC when it was burnt down. It is one of the first inhabited villages in the world and one of the oldest sites in the Middle East. Since the fire, the site underwent a rebuild but it was only inhabited in for a short time. Al Beidha was excavated in the 1950s.

   Then Today we enter the Unesco World Heritage site of Wadi Rum, where dramatic sandstone mountains rise from the sandy desert floor. It was here that Lawrence of Arabia and Prince Faisal assembled the Arab tribes for the attack on Aqaba in the first world war and also where sections of the 1962 epic film were shot. After checking into our private camp, our Bedouin hosts take us for an approximately two-hour 4x4 ride to explore some of the highlights of the protected area. We visit the highlights, have time to sample Bedouin tea, and then watch the sunset from the vantage point of a rock formation. From here we return to our camp where we enjoy Bedouin hospitality with a traditional dinner called zarb, which is cooked underground. After dinner, we learn about Bedouin culture and music through interacting with the family who run the camp.

6. 6Drive from Aqaba to the Dead Sea with optional trip to see Bethany beyond the Jordan⌄

   Leaving the Red Sea behind, we head to the Dead Sea (approximately 4hr 30 min), which is one of the most fascinating places on earth and so called because its high salinity prevents most forms of aquatic life. There's plenty of free time to float in these waters and try the Dead Sea mud before cooling off in the swimming pool. There's also the chance to visit Bethany Beyond the Jordan, said to be the site of Jesus Christ's baptism by John the Baptist, a moment marking the new era of Christianity. This is an optional trip that can be booked and paid for locally. It’s about a 15-minute drive from the Dead Sea hotel and the entire visit usually lasts 1hr 45min in total, including the driving to/from the hotel. Those who do not wish to visit the site will check into their hotel in the Dead Sea. This evening there will be a group dinner to celebrate your time in Jordan and say your farewells.
