What makes this tour special
Itinerary
Arrival in Amman. Meet and assist at the airport. Transfer to the hotel. Accommodation.
Breakfast and departure for a visit to Ajloun Castle, a fortress built in 1185 and later rebuilt in the 13th century by the Mamluks after its destruction by the Mongols. It is a Crusader-era castle situated atop a mountain, offering beautiful views. Continue to visit Jerash, one of the cities of the Decapolis. Jerash is located north of Amman, approximately 45 km and an hour's drive away. During the excursion, we will visit the Arch of Triumph, the Oval Plaza, the Cardo, the colonnade, the Temple of Aphrodite, and conclude at the Roman Theater, known for its wonderful acoustics. The preservation of the ruins of Jerash is still surprising today, providing a good idea of how cities were at that time. Transfer to Amman for a free lunch, then transfer to the Dead Sea. Free time for swimming and mud baths, then return to Amman. Dinner and overnight.
Meeting at the hotel and departure for a panoramic tour of the city of Amman. At the indicated time, departure towards the border with Israel and Palestine, looking for the Jordan River. This day we will dedicate to visiting one of the most mystical and spiritual places in Jordan. We will visit Bethany, the place where Jesus was baptized by Saint John the Evangelist. The Jordanian enclave of Bethany was opened to visitors in 2000, and Pope John Paul II attended its inauguration as a sign of his recognition by the Vatican. Baptismal Site of Jesus "Bethany beyond the Jordan" (Al-Maghtas) The archaeological site located on the eastern bank of the Jordan River, about 9 km north of the Dead Sea, is of immense importance to Christianity because it is recognized as the place where Jesus of Nazareth was baptized by John the Baptist. Continue to Madaba to visit the Orthodox Church of St. George, where the first mosaic map of Palestine is located. Continue to Mount Nebo to admire the panoramic view of the Jordan Valley and the Dead Sea from the mountain.
