Jordan Itinerary
Days 1 & 2 — Amman
We commence our tour in the capital city of Amman, taking in one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited places, the Amman citadel. In the afternoon we visit Jerash one of the best preserved Greco-Roman sites and the largest in Jordan.
Day 3 & 4 — Petra
Petra is our first place of calling outside of the capital. The ancient Rose city was lost to western world for around five centuries. We will explore this archeological site regarded as one of the seven wonders of the world. After we enter the Siq and set eyes on Al Khazneh(theTreasury) we will make our way through the UNESCO World Heritage site to sunset at the Monastery.
The Petra by Night Ceremony is an unforgettable experience. Candles illuminate the path through the gorge of the Siq which opens up in the magnificent courtyard of the Treasury. The warm candlelit walls of Petra, and the vision of the Treasury bathed in the moonlight bring a mystique unseen during the day.
Day 5 — Wadi Rum
We then venture into one of the most unique and alien places on earth, known in Arabic as the Valley of the Moon, the desert valley of Wadi Rum. Wadi Rum has been made famous in many movies(Lawrence of Arabia, The Martian and the current Aladdin release). We will explore by 4WD to find our own sunset spot. Our accommodations will be luxury tents in the desert, under a clear sky our plans may include some astrophotography.
Day 6 & 7 — The Dead Sea
The Dead Sea is the lowest point anywhere on Earth. We will explore its salty shores to capture some unique long exposures. The day will culminate with some much earned relaxation at the spa. There’s nothing quite like floating atop the Dead Sea during sunset.
Our last day of the workshop we will drive from The Dead Sea back to Amman where you can choose to stay and explore Jordan further, head home or join us for the Oman workshop beginning 5th March 2023!
