Not included in the Jordan Pass.
Your driver will pick you up at 8 AM for a scenic two-hour drive north to Umm Qais, an ancient hilltop city overlooking the Jordan Valley, Golan Heights, and Sea of Galilee. Once called Gadara, it’s famed for the Gadarene swine miracle and was a Greco-Roman cultural hub—home to poets and philosophers like Theodorus, founder of a Roman rhetorical school. Today you can wander its colonnaded streets, Roman theaters, and Byzantine basilicas while soaking in spectacular panoramic views.
Ajloun Castle (Qal’at ar-Rabad) is a 12th-century fortress built by one of Salah al-Din’s generals to guard the trade routes and repel Crusader incursions.

From the ramparts you’ll enjoy sweeping views over the Jordan Valley, Ajloun’s lush oak forests, and the surrounding villages.

Jerash ranks just behind Petra as Jordan’s top must-see destination. Wander through its monumental Hadrian’s Gate, stroll the grand colonnaded avenues, and admire the elegant temples and impressive theatres—all testaments to its heyday as a thriving imperial city. Whether you’re an archaeology enthusiast or a casual visitor, you’ll easily spend half a day exploring its vast ruins.
Return to Amman.
Depart Amman at 8:30 AM for a scenic drive into Jordan’s eastern desert, where you’ll arrive at the enchanting Qasr Al-Hallabat. Once a robust Roman fortress commissioned by Emperor Caracalla in the early 3rd century AD, its honey-toned walls and graceful arches still echo with Nabatean whispers from an even earlier era. Stroll through its spring-fed bathhouse, admire fragments of Byzantine mosaics, and picture caravan traders traversing the Via Nova Traiana—the ancient road that linked Damascus to Aqaba. Between the desert dunes and olive groves, this hidden gem offers a perfect blend of history, architecture, and romance
Rising from the desert plains in dark basalt stone, Qasr Al-Azraq once stood three stories tall—its jet-black walls shimmering against the golden sands. As you enter, pause on the worn paving stones: their tiny indentations mark where watchful gatekeepers once amused themselves with pebble-board games. Step into the cool shadow of the courtyard and you’ll find playful animal carvings and ancient inscriptions etched into the stone, whispering tales of travelers and soldiers who passed through this strategic stronghold.
A UNESCO World Heritage
Built-in the early 8th century, this exceptionally well-preserved desert castle was both a fortress with a garrison and a residence of the Umayyad caliphs. The most outstanding features of this small pleasure palace are the reception hall and the hammam, both richly decorated with figurative murals that reflect the secular art of the time.
One of the best-known of the desert castles located in present-day eastern Jordan, about 60 kilometres (37 mi) east of Amman and relatively close to the border with Saudi Arabia. It is one of the earliest examples of Islamic architecture in the region.
Its purpose remains unclear today. “Castle” is a misnomer as the building’s internal arrangement does not suggest a military use, and slits in its wall could not have been designed for arrow-slits. It could have been a caravanserai, or resting place for traders, but lacks the water source such buildings usually had close by and is not on any major trade routes.
Journeying along the ancient King’s Road is one of the most scenic and historically rich routes in Jordan. Winding through highlands, deep wadis, and charming towns, this legendary road has been used for thousands of years by traders, pilgrims, and conquerors. Along the way to Petra, you’ll pass through dramatic landscapes and viewpoints.
Explore Al-Karak Castle, one of the largest and most impressive Crusader fortresses in the Levant. Perched on a hilltop, this 12th-century stronghold offers sweeping views of the surrounding valleys and is filled with underground tunnels, stone halls, and towering battlements. Walking through its massive corridors brings Jordan’s medieval history to life.
Shobak Castle, also known as Montreal, is a historic Crusader fortress built in 1115. Located on a hilltop, it offers stunning views of the surrounding area and features medieval architecture, including thick walls and a deep water shaft. It was once a strategic stronghold before falling to Saladin in 1189. Today, visitors can explore its ruins and experience a piece of Jordan’s rich medieval history.
Your local historian guide will lead you through the rose-red city of Petra, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World and Jordan’s most iconic treasure. Carved into sandstone cliffs by the Nabataeans over 2,000 years ago, Petra offers awe-inspiring sights at every turn—from the famous Treasury (Al-Khazneh) to the majestic Monastery, as well as hidden tombs, temples, and secret trails. Visiting Petra is an unforgettable journey through history, mystery, and unparalleled beauty.
You can choose to enter Petra via the Back Trail for a more scenic, less-traveled route, or the traditional Siq Trail for a classic experience.
A 2-hour drive from Petra is Wadi Rum, a breathtaking desert valley in southern Jordan, often referred to as the “Valley of the Moon.” Its otherworldly landscapes of towering sandstone mountains, narrow canyons, and vast sandy expanses make it a true natural wonder. Wadi Rum is also a UNESCO World Heritage site, celebrated for its stunning beauty and cultural significance.
While your meal is being prepared in the traditional underground “Zarb” oven, enjoy a thrilling Sunset Jeep Tour through the stunning highlights of the Wadi Rum desert. Explore the vast, breathtaking landscapes, and as the sun sets, experience the desert’s magic. You’ll also have the opportunity to try sandboarding, a popular Bedouin sport that adds an extra element of adventure to your desert experience.
Enjoy a memorable evening with dinner and an overnight stay at one of our handpicked authentic camps in Wadi Rum. Whether you prefer the unique experience of a Martian bubble or the charm of a traditional Bedouin tent, we’ll arrange the best option to suit your budget and preferences.
A UNESCO World Heritage site rich in Roman, Byzantine, and early Islamic history.
