Day 2

Jerash and Ajloun

After breakfast, we head north of Amman to Jerash- A Graeco-Roman confederation of ten cities; the Decapolis straddled what is now Jordan and Syria. Jerash is the world’s best-preserved Roman provincial city. At its heart is a dramatic colonnaded public space from where cobbled, arcaded streets rutted with the tracks of Roman cartwheels lead past shop fronts and bathhouses to an impressive theatre. At the edge of Jerash is the Temple of Artemis with its exquisitely carved Corinthian capitol.

In nearby, drive onward through the Jordan Valley to Ajlun for a tour of the Crusader era Saracen Castle built by the armies of Salah ad din. An important strategic fortress, helping to control the area between Damascus and Cairo, and one of the few castles built to defend against the Crusaders. Ajloun is remarkably well preserved and a prime example of Islamic military architecture of the 12th and 13th centuries.

The castle occupies a commanding position on Jebel Auf with views over the countryside. In its heyday it had seven towers and was enclosed by a dry moat 15 meters deep. Inside it is a maze of interlinking rooms and tunnels. Although the castle was destroyed on several occasions by attacking forces and earthquakes, it was rebuilt each time and restoration work is ongoing. Return to Amman for overnight.

Overnight: Amman | Meals: Breakfast.

Day 3

Citadel, Madaba & Mt. Nebo

Walk through the local Souq of Amman before we leave to Madaba “the city of Mosaics” and home to the world’s largest collection of ancient mosaics. The Main attraction in Madaba is the Madaba Map in St George's Church, which represents the oldest map of Palestine and the Holy Land in existence and provides many historical insights to the region in the 6th Century. Explore further of Madaba to visit the Archaeological Park with its Byzantine and Herodian mosaics, Apostles Church and Madaba Museum.

We go onward to Mt. Nebo, from which Moses has the first glimpse at the Promised Land – a Panoramic view of the Jordan Valley, Dead Sea, Jericho and the hills of Judea (if it's clear) the distant spires and domes of the Mount of Olives, and visit the contemporary church with its display of mosaics from the succession of pilgrimage churches on this venerated spot. Finally, head south to Dhana Biosphere Reserve for overnight.

Start your magnificent archaeological treasure visit of the Rose City on foot through a narrow Siq, where the gorge leads you to reveal the famous facade of Al-Khazneh (the Treasury). Continuing your walk inside the ancient site and explore tombs, temples, an extraordinary Amphitheatre and a Roman colonnaded street. If you still didn’t run out of energy, why not try to ascend the hundreds of rock-cut steps to Ad-Deir. Better known as the Monastery, Ad-Deir has a similar facade to that of the Treasury, but is quite bigger and the view from the top of the façade is breathtaking.
