Fantastic Jordan Tour

Upon arrival at Amman Queen Alia Airport, you will be met by a Ya’lla Tours USA Jordanian representative before the immigration counters and he will assist you with arrival procedures and visas.

Drive to the holy city of Madaba, well known for its outstanding Byzantine mosaics. Visit St. George’s Cathedral and see the 6th-century mosaic floor depicting the earliest surviving map of the Holy Land.

Continue to Mt. Nebo, overlooking the Dead Sea and the Jordan Valley. This is the traditional burial site of Moses, although no tomb has been found. The church here houses magnificent mosaics dating back to the 6th century.

Then, drive to Petra for overnight.

After breakfast drive to Petra, tour the city of Petra. Lost to the world for centuries in the mountains of southern Jordan, this “rose-red city half as old as time,” was discovered by the Swiss explorer Burkhardt in 1812. Once it was a stronghold and capital for the Nabateans, but fell to Rome in 106 A.D. Travel part of the way on horseback and the rest on foot through the deep and narrow passage, or siq. (As a great deal of walking is included in the visit, we suggest good walking shoes and a lightweight jacket.)

As you approach the end of the siq, the Treasury appears magnificently in front of you, creating an awesome start to an unforgettable experience. Now we begin our exploration of what both the Nabateans and Romans left for us to witness. The most adventurous will be invited to hike up to the spiritual “High Place,” site of the sacrificial alter, which offers a spectacular view of the ancient city and surroundings.

Continue to your hotel for overnight.

Drive to Wadi Rum. Enjoy a Bedouin lunch.

Take a 2-hour 4 X 4 tour into the oasis with its awesome moon-like landscape, crisscrossed with countless valleys of stunning beauty. The film Lawrence of Arabia was shot here.
