Jordan Women Special Tour

You will be met and welcomed on arrival at the Queen Alia International Airport by our local representative and driven to your hotel in Amman. Check-in and unwind. The day is yours to spend at leisure with your new friends, so go exploring! At night, join the rest of the ladies at your hotel and swap stories over dinner before you head to bed for a good night’s rest. NOTE: Head out for a night on the town with the girls. Visit discotheques, music bars and shisha lounges and get to know each other over a cocktail…or two...or a few!

Breakfast and then visit Madaba, called ‘the city of Mosaics’ where you can find the oldest known mosaic map of the holy land. Continue on to Mt. Nebo from where, according to the Bible, Moses looked upon the Holy Land. Then, get ready for an afternoon of adventure. Head to Wadi Mujeb, the starting point to trek the Siq trail. Follow the course of the stream, hike along the gorge, until you reach a stunning 20- meter waterfall deep inside the canyon. This easy and fun trek will take about 2-3 hours and doesn’t require any particular preparation; all you need is a pair of sports shoes and an adventurous spirit. Afterwards, head to Petra and check in at the hotel, followed by dinner. Then, prepare yourself to visit Petra by night, a truly magical experience. Walk through the Siq, following a candle lit path in silence (talking and phones are banned), until you reach the colossal facade of the Khazneh, bathed in the light of thousands of little candles. This is an experience that will burn bright in your mind, and linger for a lifetime. Return to your hotel in Petra for dinner and turn in.

After breakfast with the girls, head out for an entire day in Petra, the rock-carved, rose-red city. Enter on horseback through a narrow gorge carved in the sandstone and which opens on to the colossal sunlit facade of the Treasury, made famous in the movie “Indiana Jones and the Temple. Wander about hundreds of rock-hewn monuments cut with a refinement that's hard to believe, and climb 800 rock-cut steps to the Monastery Al Deir for one of the best views of Petra. Head back to your hotel for dinner and turn in. NOTE: There’s a cafe conveniently located at the top of the climb to the Monastery where you can catch your breath and have a cup of tea before the climb down

Head out for a day of high-octane adventures through the Wadi Rum desert (where Lawrence of Arabia was filmed). Drive through the primeval starkness of the lunar-like landscape, in 4x4 Jeeps, past towering mountains with crevice-riddled cliffs and red sand dunes. Then, transfer to the Dead Sea. Relax in the swimming pool of the hotel or wade into the gently lapping waters of the Dead Sea and be amazed that you can’t sink! The Dead Sea is also the world’s largest natural spa, ladies, so make sure you treat yourself to a soothing massage or try out the well-known healing powers of minerals from the sea’s muddy floor to rejuvenate your skin.

Transfer from the Dead Sea to Amman. En route, visit several famous Islamic medieval desert castles that dot Jordan’s landscape. Visit UNESCO World Heritage Site, Qasr Amra, known for its rather risqué frescoes as well as its illustrated zodiac, Qasr Kharaneh, an Umayyad fortress built in 710 AD, and Qasr al-Azraq, which was used by T. E Lawrence of Arabia as his headquarters. For lunch, you’ll eat a delicious home-cooked meal with a local family. After you’ve eaten your fill, visit the famous Roman Theater and Citadel, after which you’ll head to downtown Amman and wander through art galleries, coffee shops and a variety of artisan shops. Then, return to your hotel for dinner and a good night’s rest. NOTE: There’s nothing like shopping in Jordan! In Amman’s souks, you’ll have plenty to choose from. You’ll find keffiyeh scarves, embroidered pillow cases and blouses, silver necklaces with your name in Arabic, hand-painted ceramics, beautiful prayer rugs, Arab pop culture tees, intricate mosaics, jars of spices, and bottles of sand art. This is the best place for bargaining so don't be shy.

Enjoy your last breakfast at the hotel with your friends, before you drive to the international airport in Amman to board your flight back home.
