What our specialists say...

The perfect introduction to Jordan's varied attractions, this short itinerary offers a long weekend full of history, culture and outstanding scenery. Flying in and out of Amman, you will get a short time to explore the highlights of the capital, including the Roman theatre and the Abu Darwish Mosque. Dominating the itinerary though is Petra, a truly epic destination recently voted one of the Seven Modern Wonders of the World. Wandering down the Siq Canyon to enjoy the cinematic Treasury and Monastery, taking in over 2000 years of history and intrigue, is a magical experience you will never forget.
