Your Complete Itinerary
Day 1. We depart New York for Jordan. ( D )
We depart New York in the evening via Royal Jordanian Airlines flight RJ262 arriving in Amman the following day. A full meal service will be served aloft.
About Jordan
Jordan is a modern country with an ancient culture where everything works. Its people are friendly and literate and warmly welcome visitors. Jordan’s history is overwhelming: Amman, Jerash and Umm Qais were cities of the Roman Decapolis, while biblical sites range from Bethany-Beyond-The-Jordan, where Jesus was baptised, to Mt. Nebo, where Moses is said to have seen the Promised Land. At Petra, Nabeteen stonemasons carved out their awe-inspiring capital from towering sandstone walls (also, the setting of an Indiana Jones movie). Jordan also has desert landscapes filled with castles and wadis (dry desert river valleys) that fascinated “Lawrence of Arabia.” Tourist accommodations are world class and it’s hotels are on par with four and five star European hotels, with all of the amenities you can ask for.
Day 2. We arrive in Amman and stay at the four star Century Park Hotel. We will start with a brief tour of Amman. Tonight we socialize at a welcome dinner. ( B,D) Century Park Hotel.
We arrive in Amman late in the day and will be taken to our hotel, the four star Century Park Hotel, located close to the touristic center of town, offering TV, restaurants and a night club. On our way we will have a brief orientation tour of Amman.Tonight we will socialize at a welcome dinner at a local restaurant.
About Amman
Amman, the moderrn and ancient capital of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, is the center of all Jordan and has excavations dating back to 3,500 B.C. Called Rabbath Ammon in the Old Testament, Amman was capital of the Ammonites during the reign of King David (1200 BC) and has been actively engaged in trade with Greece, Syria, Cyprus, Babylon and Mesopotamia throughout recorded history. Its clean leafy western streets, trendy cafes and polite residents makes Amman an interesting pleasant city to visit. And its 6,000 seat Roman theater is still used for cultural events.
Day 3. ( B, L) We meet with Jordanian nurses at Jordan Hospital and attend a presentation by the Jordanian Nursing Council about “The Nursing Profession In Jordan,” followed by a roundtable discussion. Later, we have lunch at a Cafe in Amman and sample local cuisine. Century Park Hotel.
Day 4. ( B, L) We sightsee in Amman, then we visit the famous desert castles that the early Arab rulers loved. Century Park Hotel.
This morning we start sightseeing and visit old and new Amman. Among the sights we see are the Citadel, the 6,000 seat Amphitheater (built in 200 AD by Roman Emperor Antonius Pius) , Temple of Hercules, Omayyad Palace, Byzantine Bascilica and Jordan Archaeological Museum.
After lunch, we journey into the desert and visit castles that date back far into history. The early Arab rulers’ love of the desert inspired them to build castles where they pursued horse racing, hunting and hawking. As you walk through them you can almost feel the past evenings filled with poetry, soft songs and perfumed gardens as they were centuries ago. Their fine mosaics, frescos, stone carvings, inspired by the best Persion and Greco-Roman traditions tell about desert life in the eighth century AD.
Day 5. (B,D) We travel to the beautifully preserved Roman city of Jerash, deservedly one of Jordan’s major attractions. Century Park Hotel.
Today we travel to Jerash, a sprawling ancient city with a 6,500 year history, and see one of the best preserved Roman provincial cities in the world. In its day Jerash had a population of 15,000 and was an administrative center of the Roman Empire. Preserved under sand for more than 1,000 years, Jerash will give you a clear idea about how the Romans once lived and how far-reaching the Roman Empire was. We will visit the Amphitheater, ruins on the Citadell Hill, Hadrians Arch and the Elliptical Forum. After our visit, we will continue on to Qulat al Rabad, the ancient Arab castle dating back to the Crusade. Incidentally, 90% of Jerash is still unexcavated.
Day 6. (B, D) We visit Bethany-Beyond-the-Jordan where Jesus was baptised by John the Baptist. Then we visit Madaba and Mount Nebo where Moses first saw the “Promised Land.” We stay at the Ben Zamin Hotel, Petra.
This morning we drive to Bethany-Beyond-the-Jordan, known in Arabic as Al-Maghtas (Baptism Site). This is where Jesus was baptised by John the Baptist, where the first five apostles met, and the prophet Elijah ascended into heaven in a chariot. This site was discovered in 1994 when the remains of churches, caves, and Baptism pools were unearthed. In March 2000, Pope John Paul II authenticated the site.We then travel on to Madaba and Mt. Nebo..
About Madaba and Mount Nebo
The ancient city of Madaba is famous for its spectacular Byzantine and Umayyad mosaics and the site of Greek Orthodox church of St. George, where a vivid sixth century mosaic map, the oldest known map of the Holy Land (originally 25X5 yards) rests.
Mount Nebo is where Moses first saw the Land of Canaan and where he is believed to be buried. Six tombs have been found hollowed out of rock beneath the mosaic covered floor of the Moses Memorial Church. You can see the mosaics, the earliest of which is a panel with a braided cross. The Serpentine Cross, at the sanctuary, symbolizes the brass serpent taken by Moses into the desert and the cross upon which Jesus was crucified. During his visit to Jordan Pope John Paul II held a sermon here that was attended by thousands of the faithful. We end our day at the Ben Zamin Hotel in Petra.
About the Ben Zamin Hotel
This full service hotel offers all the modern facilities required by travellers. Guests can enjoy dining at the Sahtain Restaurant, situated in the village near the Nabatean stone pool. The restaurant has a wonderful view over the rose-colored Petra Mountains; and offers a wide range of traditional Arabic dishes.
The hotel has also a heated indoor swimming pool with outside terrace served by the snack pool bar.Wireless Internet, facsimile services, computers, photocopiers, audio-visual equipment and secretarial services are available.
Day 7. (B,L) We visit the famous ancient rose red Nabatean city of Petra, a city hewn from towering rock walls of multi colored sandstone - a wonder of the world. Ben Zamin Hotel
Today we visit the ancient rose-red city Petra - a world wonder. This ancient city, hewn in rock by the Nabataeans, is where parts of ‘Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade’ were filmed. Petra is famous for its massive architecture, pools, dams and water channels. Among the sights we will see are: The Royal Tombs, the Treasury, the Court, Roman Theater, Museum of Petra, Monestary, Place of Sacrifice.
Tonight we stay in Petra. Perhaps we will walk through the Siq to the Khazneh following a candle-lit path with the haunting Bedouin music drifting through our ears.
About Petra
Petra, one of the most exotic attractions in the Middle East, is worth the trip from America in itself. To visit Petra by day is an awe inspiring experience; by night with its 1,800 lighted candles, Petra is an mystical experience . Lost in the desert sands until it was found in 1812, it is the ancient capital of the Nabataean Arabs who ruled the area in pre-Roman times. It goes back much further in time since a Neolithic village dating back to 7,000 BC was unearthed nearby in 1950. Set on the edge of the Wadi (gully) Araba, Petra is the site of hundreds of elaborate buildings colored deep rust and carved out of solid rock. The first sight you’ll see when you enter Wadi Musa is a small white-domed building , the Moses Spring (Ain Musa), where Moses struck a rock and water gushed out.
Day 8. We travel to Wadi Rum and see some of the most spectacular desert scenery you’ll ever see. Later, we travel along Jordan’s ancient merchant routes to the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth. Dead Sea Spa Hotel
Today we travel Wadi Rum, known as The Valley of the Moon, a valley cut into the sandstone and granite rock in south Jordan. The desert landscape is so spectacular that movies such as Lawrence of Arabia are filmed here. We will enjoy special desert rides and then travel along ancient merchant routes to the lowest place on Earth - The Dead Sea - and stay at a full service beach front Spa Hotel.
About the Dead Sea Spa Hotel
The full Dead Sea Spa Hotel is a full service 4-star resort situated at the lowest spot on earth on the shore of the Dead Sea. It offers a restaurant, bar, 24-hour service, terrace and soundproofed air conditioned rooms. There’s a fitness room, indoor and outdoor pools and a natural solarium. You can take a swim in the Dead Sea where it’s impossible to sink because the incredibly high salt content is over six times greater than the ocean.
Day 9. (B,D) We have a free day at your resort. This afternoon there will be a shopping tour in Amman. Tonight we enjoy a farewell dinner at our hotel. Dead Sea Spa Hotel
Day 10. (B) This morning we return to New York.
