This morning, your driver will take you to the Roman site of Jerash, where a local guide will show you around the ruins. You'll see the 2nd-century Hadrian's Arch, the Forum's oval colonnade and the columns of the Temple of Artemis.

An early start this morning as your private driver will escort you on a five- to six-hour drive down the 5,000-year-old King's Highway to Petra. En route, you will stop to see Mount Nebo, with its spectacular views over the Dead Sea, the Christian mosaics of Madaba, and the crusader castle of Kerak.

Today, you will enjoy a full-day tour of Petra. For the first two or three hours, you'll have a private guide with you to show you the city's main highlights and tell you all about the ancient city's history and the lives of those who made it their home. You then have some time to explore further on your own. Bring your walking shoes and be prepared for an inspiring but energetic day.

After breakfast, you'll be collected by your driver from the hotel for the transfer to the Dead Sea. The journey will take most of the day as you enjoy a private guided tour of the vast, red rock and sand landscape of Wadi Rum en route. You'll see the remains of a Nabataean temple, pass through the settlement of Rum and take a walk in a narrow canyon whose walls are etched with ancient Thamudic inscriptions.

You have the day free to relax by the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth. A visit wouldn't be complete without spending time floating almost weightless on the water, famous for its high salinity levels. You could also indulge in a massage or spa treatment at your hotel — the area is well known for its healing practices.

Today you’ll be transferred by your driver privately to the airport for your return departure.
