Itinerary and highlights

Begin with pickup from your Amman hotel, and meet your private driver for your tour. Hop inside your private, air-conditioned vehicle, and enjoy a sightseeing tour of Jordan’s capital.

The Citadel (Jabal al-Qal'a): Perched on the highest hill in the city, the Citadel is an archaeological site with a history spanning back to the Bronze Age. It was the ancient city of Rabbath-Ammon and later became the Roman, Byzantine, and Umayyad capital. Key sites within the Citadel include:

The Temple of Hercules: A Roman temple dating to the 2nd century AD.

Umayyad Palace: A complex of buildings from the Umayyad period (8th century AD).

Jordan Archaeological Museum: Houses a collection of artifacts from various historical periods.

The Roman Amphitheatre: Located in the downtown area, this impressive Roman amphitheater was built in the 2nd century AD and could seat up to 6,000 spectators. It's still used today for cultural events and is one of the most visible remnants of Roman Philadelphia (the Roman name for Amman).

King Abdullah I Mosque (The Blue Mosque): An iconic landmark of Amman, easily recognizable by its magnificent blue dome. It's the only mosque in the city that openly welcomes non-Muslim visitors (with appropriate dress, which is often provided at the entrance).

Downtown (Al-Balad): The bustling heart of the city. A walk through downtown allows you to experience the authentic local life. You can explore traditional markets (souks), where you'll find everything from spices and fresh produce to souvenirs and handmade crafts.

Rainbow Street: A lively and popular street in the Jabal Amman neighborhood. It's known for its trendy cafes, art galleries, souvenir shops, and restaurants. It offers a glimpse into the more modern, bohemian side of Amman.

Having explored the city, settle back in your vehicle and enjoy the roughly 1-hour drive south through the Moab Desert to the Dead Sea. This massive salt lake sits about 1,312 feet (400 meters) below sea level, making it the lowest point on Earth. It is famous for the buoyancy provided by its salt- and mineral-rich waters and nourishing mud, which are used in therapeutic and cosmetic treatments.

Upon arrival, head inside a beachside resort and have plenty of free time to enjoy the waters and surroundings as you like. Use the towels and lockers available, and relax on the mineral beaches. Soak up the sunshine and scenic views, coat yourself in mud for a revitalizing natural spa experience, and take a swim in the waters. Be sure to strike the classic pose of lying back and floating while reading a newspaper or book! When it’s time, return to Amman, where your tour concludes with a hotel drop-off.
