After your morning meal, your Middle East tour guide will take you to Jerash, which is situated in the foothills of the Gilead Mountains. This archaeological site is among the best-preserved examples of Roman architecture that have survived outside of Italy. Walk through the stunning colonnaded streets, visit the magnificent Nymphaeum, and see the grand Temple of Artemis, all of which are the masterpieces of the Roman Empire and give its glory a reflection. Then, you will proceed to the Dead Sea, which is famous all over the world. The Dead Sea is the lowest point on Earth with a very high content of minerals that have therapeutic properties. For centuries, the Dead Sea has been viewed as a natural health and wellness place.

The Dead Sea's mud is believed to be a very effective ingredient for beauty and curing treatments—some even say that its powers were loved by Queen Cleopatra and Queen Sheba. No organisms can survive here because of the extremely high salinity; that is the reason why it is called the "Dead Sea.” However, one gets to experience floating effortlessly atop the water which truly is an unforgettable experience. Before heading back to Amman, allow yourself to be pampered with a float, and a mud bath.

Meals: Breakfast.

You will have about 2.5 hours' drive after your morning meal to the astonishing Rose-Red City of Petra, the most amazing and charming spot of Jordan. The Nabataean Arabs established Petra in the 6th century B. C. and its beauty lies in the great facades that were carved into the tall sandstone cliffs. At the visitor center, a 700-meter walk will take you to the entrance to the Siq, which is a great 1,200-meter-long gorge with very high walls of colorful rocks and a height of more than 80 meters. The beautiful sight of Al-Khazneh (The Treasury), the most well-known monument of Petra, will receive you as you get out of the Siq. The beauty and the mystery surrounding Petra which is one of the New Seven Wonders of the World are just amazing and it will not be easy to forget them.

After the tour around this ancient wonder, you will retrace your steps through the Siq and then drive back to Amman for an overnight stay.

To ensure a smooth and comfortable journey throughout Egypt, we suggest you pack the following items:

Valid Passport (at least 6 months): Double-check that your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your planned arrival date in Egypt, as this is often a requirement for entry.
Sun Protection: Given Egypt’s sunny climate, we recommend packing high-SPF sunscreen and lip balm with sun protection to shield your skin from the intense sun.
UV-Blocking Sunglasses: Protect your eyes from UV rays and reduce glare while sightseeing, especially when exploring outdoor sites like the Pyramids.
Hand Sanitizer: Hygiene is important, particularly when handwashing isn’t always accessible, so be sure to bring a small bottle of hand sanitizer.
Reusable Water Bottle: Staying hydrated is key, particularly in the heat. A refillable water bottle will help you stay refreshed while reducing plastic waste.
Insect Repellent: Particularly useful when visiting sites surrounded by nature, insect repellent will keep pesky bugs at bay and protect you from bites.
Appropriate Clothing for the Season:
- Winter: If traveling during the cooler months, pack a warm jacket, sweater, and thermal layers.
- Summer: Lightweight, breathable cotton clothes are ideal for staying cool in the hot weather.
Wide-Brimmed Hat: A hat provides shade and helps protect your face and neck from direct sun exposure.
Travel Adapter: Different countries have varying plug types, so bring a universal travel adapter to keep your electronics charged.
Camera or Smartphone: Capture stunning memories from your trip with a camera or your phone. Egypt’s ancient sites are perfect for photos!
Compact Umbrella: Though Egypt is mostly dry, a small umbrella can be handy during the rare rain showers, especially if you're traveling during the transitional months.
Comfortable Shoes: You’ll likely be doing a lot of walking during your sightseeing, so pack sturdy and comfortable shoes suitable for exploring archaeological sites and urban areas.
Medications: If you take prescription medication, ensure you have an adequate supply for the duration of your trip. Also, carry any over-the-counter medications you may need for common issues like headaches or stomach discomfort.
