Dear adventurer,
Prepare for an unforgettable journey to the heart of the Middle East, where history and nature intertwine in endless layers of beauty and mystique. Jordan, a land of rich history and breathtaking landscapes, invites you on an expedition that will ignite your imagination and enrich your soul.
Your adventure will begin on the very border of Jordan and Israel, at the sacred site where John the Baptist baptized Jesus Christ. You will bathe in the Dead Sea, where you will experience the unique sensation of weightlessness in the world's saltiest lake. Your journey will take you to the ancient city of Petra, which rises from the desert like an ancient miracle. Here you will explore the rose-colored rock temples and mysterious tombs, which testify to the mastery of ancient civilizations. In Wadi Rum, a desert landscape reminiscent of the surface of Mars, you will immerse yourself in endless sand dunes and rock formations. You will spend a night under the stars, where the world seems endless and incredibly close at the same time. Your journey will culminate in the capital city of Amman, where modern life pulsates in harmony with traditional culture. You will explore the local markets, taste delicacies, and visit the magnificent mosque, which is a symbol of the spiritual richness of this land.
Welcome!
Upon arrival at Amman, the capital of Jordan, you have the opportunity to exchange money at the airport (I recommend exchanging dollars for the Jordanian dinar, JOD).
Here you will pick up your rental car and drive to the nearby picturesque town of Madaba.
The city of Madaba is a Christian center of Jordan. The city has a large number of churches and historical buildings. The most visited is the Greek Orthodox Church of St. George, which you can also visit. In the church of St. George, there is the so-called Madaba map, a mosaic from the 6th century, which is the oldest map depiction of the Holy Land (entrance fee is 1 JOD). If you still have time and desire, also visit the Archaeological Museum, the entrance fee is included in the Jordan Pass.
Before you board your plane, get yourself a Jordan Pass! This pass includes a visa and entry to many selected historical sites and attractions (more info here: https://www.jordanpass.jo/).



Good morning, adventurer,
today you have a truly busy, adventurous day ahead!
(I recommend packing something for lunch, it's not guaranteed that you'll come across a shop or restaurant during the day.)
After a hearty breakfast, you will travel by car to the entrance of a significant pilgrimage site where John the Baptist baptized Jesus Christ. You will also visit the historic Greek Orthodox Church and the area around the Jordan River.
And now, according to your taste and time, straight to the beach (Salt beach), or a detour according to this itinerary through stops with breathtaking views of the Dead Sea and the Jordanian landscape (Dead Sea view, Black Mountains view and Salty rocks). You can freely slow down or stop with your car here and enjoy the beautiful unusual landscape.
Your next destination experience is swimming in the Dead Sea. You can swim at any point around the lake; these swimming areas are not specifically designated.
Leave your car in the parking lot and go buy a ticket (12 JOD), which includes a guided tour, entry fees, and a return trip by shuttle bus. The bus departs every 30 minutes from 8 am to 4 pm. The whole attraction takes about 3 hours. You can find official information here: https://www.baptismsite.com/operating-hours-a-entrance-fees/.



I recommend stopping at the so-called Salty Beach. Don't expect any facilities (buffet, showers, etc.), on the contrary, an unusual experience awaits you! Soaked in salt, you will probably spend another two hours in the car on your way to today's destination - magical accommodation in the town and nature reserve of Dana.




Greetings, adventurer, on your journey!
Today you will experience one of the seven wonders of the world, the rock city of Petra! After breakfast, get in your car and set off on a magical journey towards Petra. The rock city is huge, therefore a whole day is allocated to it. "The Treasury" is its significant dominant feature. Inside, you will find vendors, the possibility of riding a pony or a camel, and on the other side, there is the "The Basin" restaurant, where very expensive beer is also available. I firmly believe that Petra will captivate you and maybe tire you a little. I recommend that you then visit the local restaurant Meat on fire, where you will again taste excellent local cuisine, which is in the city center.
Auto-park at the hotel where you'll be staying tonight, then walk to the Petra Visitor Center. Pick up your ticket here – it's free with a Jordan Pass! Grab a paper map, choose your route, and maybe buy a souvenir.




Good morning, adventurer,
you have experienced the epic adventures that Jordan offers, but that is still far from all. A transfer to supposedly the most beautiful desert in the world awaits you, a location that is one of the UNESCO World Heritage sites, home to Bedouins, a labyrinth of huge rock massifs, the Wadi Rum desert.
(I recommend packing something for lunch, there is no guarantee that you will find a shop during the day.)
At your leisure, arrange an afternoon guided tour of the desert at the camp. The local accommodation provider will offer you dinner and breakfast. At night you will see a magical sky full of stars! I recommend moving around the desert only with a guide, the entrance fee to the reserve is included in the Jordan Pass.




Good morning, adventurer.
Today, arrange a camel ride at the camp, or if that doesn't appeal to you, don't worry. Try a jeep ride to the Seven Pillars of Wisdom, or a special tour mapping Lawrence of Arabia's journey to Aqaba. You have one more night in the desert today.




Good morning and hooray for culture!
Today you will be transferred to the capital of Jordan, Amman. The journey will be long, I suggest a refreshment stop in the town of Al-Qatrana. Here you will come across several local eateries and stalls, until then don't count on any other refreshment place.
On arrival in town, expect organised chaos on the roads, be cautious.
In the early evening, you'll visit Amman's landmark King Abdullah I Mosque, where you're allowed inside as well, and you can further explore the local municipal court behind closed gates. Afterwards, transfer to the hotel and dinner :).
The King Abdullah I Mosque in Amman is one of the most important mosques in Jordan. It was built in the 1980s and is characterized by its classical Islamic architectural style. With a capacity for up to 3,000 worshippers, it also offers space for a small separate section for women and a special section for the royal family. Dedicated to King Abdullah I, this mosque serves as the national prayer centre for Jordan.
Tourists are allowed to visit. Men must wear long pants and women must cover their heads, arms and legs. A hooded cloak is provided free of charge before entering the mosque.




Good morning, adventurer, are you rested?
Take a tour of the city! The sites are close together and arranged so that you can walk the tour on foot.Take plenty of water and enjoy the atmosphere of the historic city!
Darat al Funun is a tranquil haven of art with stunning views of Amman's historic center. The museum offers a diverse range of permanent and temporary exhibitions, film screenings, lectures, experimental projects, and workshops. Darat al Funun blends architectural heritage with the rich cultural history of Jordan and the surrounding region. Art exhibitions are housed in six carefully restored historic buildings, surrounded by gardens featuring archeological sites. The gardens contain sculptures, paintings, drawings, and audiovisual installations.
Rainbow Street in Amman is a vibrant and fashionable street that offers a wealth of opportunities to immerse yourself in the local culture. It houses important historical buildings such as the al-Mufti House, where King Talal stayed, and the residence of former Prime Minister Zaid ibn Shaker. In addition, there are a number of shops and galleries offering souvenirs and artwork. In the evening, head to one of the many restaurants or cafes, or enjoy a delicious ice cream. Rainbow Street combines historic charm with modern life.
Mercado del Oro, the most popular market in Amman :).

Al-Husseini Mosque, located in the very centre of the city. It is the oldest building of its type in Amman.

The Roman Theatre in Amman, which was originally carved into the hillside around 2 AD, has a capacity of up to 6,000 spectators. It underwent a complete renovation in 1957 and regained its historical glory. However, from a historical point of view, the reconstruction is not entirely authentic, as the original materials were not used. This amphitheatre was built during the reign of Emperor Antoninus Pius. During the summer months, the Roman theatre is once again used for concerts and theatrical performances, returning it to its traditional purpose as an entertainment venue.

The Citadel of Amman is a historic place with a rich past and impressive monuments. It is one of the most important places in the city of Amman. It is located on the highest peak of the city, Jebel Al Qala'a, and is surrounded by a wall 1700 meters long. Among the most important monuments here are the Temple of Heracles and the Umayyad Palace. The temple, built during the reign of the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, today offers a glimpse of the remains of the podium and columns that testify to its former grandeur. The citadel offers visitors a stunning panoramic view of downtown Amman. The Jordan Pass is valid for entry here.

The Umayyad Palace in Amman is a large complex from the Umayyad period, located atop the Citadel. Built in the first half of the 8th century, it now lies mostly in ruins, however, the restored domed entrance hall, known as the "kiosk" or "monumental gate", still stands. This historical palace complex is a great place for history and architecture enthusiasts who want to discover the richness of the Umayyad era.
Tip for an excellent restaurant. Try their Fettuccine or their daily special.



Your journey in Jordan is coming to an end.
If you still have some time before your flight, I recommend you visit the historic city of Jaras.
Jarash is one of the best-preserved Greco-Roman cities from the first century AD and is the most important ancient monument in Jordan. The most fascinating part of the city is the long colonnade stretching along the main avenue, which opens into a grand oval square. Around the main avenue are many other important buildings, including temples, theatres, fountains and other historic buildings.
I recommend at least 90 minutes to visit the city itself. Admission is included with the Jordan Pass.
And now, head to the airport, where you will park your car and hand over the keys to the appropriate car rental company.
_______
I truly believe you will leave Jordan enriched! It has been a pleasure to accompany you on this journey, and I trust you will take away many experiences, and an understanding of the region. I wish you a safe return home and perhaps we will meet again on your next trip!
Sabina

Remember to be at the airport sufficiently early to return the car and also to have a peaceful departure and maybe even grab a snack at the airport.

After a hearty breakfast, you will travel by car to the entrance of a significant pilgrimage site where John the Baptist baptized Jesus Christ. You will also visit the historic Greek Orthodox Church and the area around the Jordan River.
And now, according to your taste and time, straight to the beach (Salt beach), or a detour according to this itinerary through stops with breathtaking views of the Dead Sea and the Jordanian landscape (Dead Sea view, Black Mountains view and Salty rocks). You can freely slow down or stop with your car here and enjoy the beautiful unusual landscape.
Your next destination experience is swimming in the Dead Sea. You can swim at any point around the lake; these swimming areas are not specifically designated.
Leave your car in the parking lot and go buy a ticket (12 JOD), which includes a guided tour, entry fees, and a return trip by shuttle bus. The bus departs every 30 minutes from 8 am to 4 pm. The whole attraction takes about 3 hours. You can find official information here: https://www.baptismsite.com/operating-hours-a-entrance-fees/.



I recommend stopping at the so-called Salty Beach. Don't expect any facilities (buffet, showers, etc.), on the contrary, an unusual experience awaits you! Soaked in salt, you will probably spend another two hours in the car on your way to today's destination - magical accommodation in the town and nature reserve of Dana.




Greetings, adventurer, on your journey!
Today you will experience one of the seven wonders of the world, the rock city of Petra! After breakfast, get in your car and set off on a magical journey towards Petra. The rock city is huge, therefore a whole day is allocated to it. "The Treasury" is its significant dominant feature. Inside, you will find vendors, the possibility of riding a pony or a camel, and on the other side, there is the "The Basin" restaurant, where very expensive beer is also available. I firmly believe that Petra will captivate you and maybe tire you a little. I recommend that you then visit the local restaurant Meat on fire, where you will again taste excellent local cuisine, which is in the city center.
Auto-park at the hotel where you'll be staying tonight, then walk to the Petra Visitor Center. Pick up your ticket here – it's free with a Jordan Pass! Grab a paper map, choose your route, and maybe buy a souvenir.




Good morning, adventurer,
you have experienced the epic adventures that Jordan offers, but that is still far from all. A transfer to supposedly the most beautiful desert in the world awaits you, a location that is one of the UNESCO World Heritage sites, home to Bedouins, a labyrinth of huge rock massifs, the Wadi Rum desert.
(I recommend packing something for lunch, there is no guarantee that you will find a shop during the day.)
At your leisure, arrange an afternoon guided tour of the desert at the camp. The local accommodation provider will offer you dinner and breakfast. At night you will see a magical sky full of stars! I recommend moving around the desert only with a guide, the entrance fee to the reserve is included in the Jordan Pass.




Good morning, adventurer.
Today, arrange a camel ride at the camp, or if that doesn't appeal to you, don't worry. Try a jeep ride to the Seven Pillars of Wisdom, or a special tour mapping Lawrence of Arabia's journey to Aqaba. You have one more night in the desert today.




Good morning and hooray for culture!
Today you will be transferred to the capital of Jordan, Amman. The journey will be long, I suggest a refreshment stop in the town of Al-Qatrana. Here you will come across several local eateries and stalls, until then don't count on any other refreshment place.
On arrival in town, expect organised chaos on the roads, be cautious.
In the early evening, you'll visit Amman's landmark King Abdullah I Mosque, where you're allowed inside as well, and you can further explore the local municipal court behind closed gates. Afterwards, transfer to the hotel and dinner :).
The King Abdullah I Mosque in Amman is one of the most important mosques in Jordan. It was built in the 1980s and is characterized by its classical Islamic architectural style. With a capacity for up to 3,000 worshippers, it also offers space for a small separate section for women and a special section for the royal family. Dedicated to King Abdullah I, this mosque serves as the national prayer centre for Jordan.
Tourists are allowed to visit. Men must wear long pants and women must cover their heads, arms and legs. A hooded cloak is provided free of charge before entering the mosque.




Good morning, adventurer, are you rested?
Take a tour of the city! The sites are close together and arranged so that you can walk the tour on foot.Take plenty of water and enjoy the atmosphere of the historic city!
Darat al Funun is a tranquil haven of art with stunning views of Amman's historic center. The museum offers a diverse range of permanent and temporary exhibitions, film screenings, lectures, experimental projects, and workshops. Darat al Funun blends architectural heritage with the rich cultural history of Jordan and the surrounding region. Art exhibitions are housed in six carefully restored historic buildings, surrounded by gardens featuring archeological sites. The gardens contain sculptures, paintings, drawings, and audiovisual installations.
Rainbow Street in Amman is a vibrant and fashionable street that offers a wealth of opportunities to immerse yourself in the local culture. It houses important historical buildings such as the al-Mufti House, where King Talal stayed, and the residence of former Prime Minister Zaid ibn Shaker. In addition, there are a number of shops and galleries offering souvenirs and artwork. In the evening, head to one of the many restaurants or cafes, or enjoy a delicious ice cream. Rainbow Street combines historic charm with modern life.
Mercado del Oro, the most popular market in Amman :).

Al-Husseini Mosque, located in the very centre of the city. It is the oldest building of its type in Amman.

The Roman Theatre in Amman, which was originally carved into the hillside around 2 AD, has a capacity of up to 6,000 spectators. It underwent a complete renovation in 1957 and regained its historical glory. However, from a historical point of view, the reconstruction is not entirely authentic, as the original materials were not used. This amphitheatre was built during the reign of Emperor Antoninus Pius. During the summer months, the Roman theatre is once again used for concerts and theatrical performances, returning it to its traditional purpose as an entertainment venue.

The Citadel of Amman is a historic place with a rich past and impressive monuments. It is one of the most important places in the city of Amman. It is located on the highest peak of the city, Jebel Al Qala'a, and is surrounded by a wall 1700 meters long. Among the most important monuments here are the Temple of Heracles and the Umayyad Palace. The temple, built during the reign of the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, today offers a glimpse of the remains of the podium and columns that testify to its former grandeur. The citadel offers visitors a stunning panoramic view of downtown Amman. The Jordan Pass is valid for entry here.

The Umayyad Palace in Amman is a large complex from the Umayyad period, located atop the Citadel. Built in the first half of the 8th century, it now lies mostly in ruins, however, the restored domed entrance hall, known as the "kiosk" or "monumental gate", still stands. This historical palace complex is a great place for history and architecture enthusiasts who want to discover the richness of the Umayyad era.
Tip for an excellent restaurant. Try their Fettuccine or their daily special.



Your journey in Jordan is coming to an end.
If you still have some time before your flight, I recommend you visit the historic city of Jaras.
Jarash is one of the best-preserved Greco-Roman cities from the first century AD and is the most important ancient monument in Jordan. The most fascinating part of the city is the long colonnade stretching along the main avenue, which opens into a grand oval square. Around the main avenue are many other important buildings, including temples, theatres, fountains and other historic buildings.
I recommend at least 90 minutes to visit the city itself. Admission is included with the Jordan Pass.
And now, head to the airport, where you will park your car and hand over the keys to the appropriate car rental company.

I truly believe you will leave Jordan enriched! It has been a pleasure to accompany you on this journey, and I trust you will take away many experiences, and an understanding of the region. I wish you a safe return home and perhaps we will meet again on your next trip!

Remember to be at the airport sufficiently early to return the car and also to have a peaceful departure and maybe even grab a snack at the airport.
