3 Days / 2 Nights Jordan Extension including Petra

• After breakfast check out of the hotel. We will have an early departure from Jerusalem to the Jordan border.
• After border crossing procedures, enter into Jordan and meet our Jordanian tour guide and bus driver.
• We will then proceed to Jerash, the city of the Decapolis- located about 28 miles north of Amman in the fertile heights of the Gilead. The Greco-Roman City of Jerash is the best preserved of its kind in the world.
• At Jerash we will visit the colonnaded streets, the baths and the temple.
• We will then drive to Amman, the capitol of Jordan.
• After a short orientation tour viewing the various landmarks of the city, we will drive to the hotel for check-in and dinner.

• After breakfast we will drive along the King’s Highway to Wadi Musa, the Jordanian village located at the entrance to the ancient city of Petra – one of the world’s greatest archaeological sites and one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the 2,000-year old ancient city of Petra. Known as the red rock city, Petra was the ancient capital of the Nabateans from the 3rd century BC to the 2nd century AD. Carved by the Nabataeans out of solid rock, Petra was forgotten for hundreds of years until it was rediscovered in 1812.
• At the entrance to Petra, travelers are offered the option to ride a horse for 800m – from the visitor’s center to the entrance of the dramatic “Siq” (canyon).
• From the entrance to the Siq, there is a 1,250 meter walk to the 1st monument "The Treasury".
• Throughout most of the day we will explore Petra's incredible structures: the treasury, the field of tombs, the obelisks, and the altar, and much more.
• Return to Amman for dinner.

• After breakfast enjoy some free time. Around noon we will head to the biblical town of Madaba. Madaba is best known for its Byzantine and Umayyad mosaics and for its Greek Orthodox Church of St. George.
• In Madaba we will view the earliest original map of the Holy Land.
• We will continue to the biblical Mt. Nebo from which Moses viewed the Promised Land. Mt. Nebo, believed to be the site of the tomb of Moses, commands a spectacular view across the Jordan Valley and the Dead Sea.
