Day 2 Amman – Jerash– Dead Sea Swim & Lunch 5* Amman  
Breakfast at the hotel, drive to visit a close second to Petra on the list of favorite destinations in Jordan is the 
ancient city of Jerash, which boasts an unbroken chain of human occupation dating back more than 6,500 years.
 Jerash lies on a plain surrounded by hilly wooded areas and fertile basins. Conquered by General Pompey in 63 BC, 
it came under Roman rule and was one of the ten great Roman cities of the Decapolis League.
 The city's golden age came under Roman rule, during which time it was known as Gerasa, and the site is now 
generally acknowledged to be one of the best-preserved Roman provincial towns in the world. Hidden for centuries 
in sand before being excavated and restored over the past 70 years, Jerash reveals a fine example of the grand, formal 
provincial Roman urbanism that is found throughout the Middle East, comprising paved and colonnaded streets, 
soaring hilltop temples, handsome theatres, spacious public squares and plazas, baths, fountains and city walls 
pierced by towers and gates.
 Beneath its external Graeco- Roman veneer, Jerash also preserves a subtle blend of east and west. Its architecture, 
religion, and languages reflect a process by which two powerful cultures meshed and coexisted - The Graeco
Roman world of the Mediterranean basin and the traditions of the Arab Orient.
 The modern city of Jerash can be found to the east of the ruins. While the old and new share a city wall, careful 
preservation and planning have seen the city itself develop well away from the ruins so there is no encroachment on 
the sites of old.

Day 3 Amman – Petra visit – Amman 
Breakfast at the hotel, drive to visit Petra the world wonder, is undoubtedly Jordan's most valuable treasure and greatest 
tourist attraction, and it is visited by tourists from all over the world.
 It is not known precisely when Petra was built, but the city began to prosper as the capital of the Nabataean Empire from 
the 1st century BC, which grew rich through trade in frankincense, myrrh, and spices.
 Petra was later annexed to the Roman Empire and continued to thrive until a large earthquake in 363 AD destroyed 
muchof the city in the 4th century AD. The earthquake combined with changes in trade routes, eventually led to the 
downfall of the city which was ultimately abandoned. By the middle of the 7th century Petra appears to have 
been largely deserted and it was then lost to all except local Bedouin from the area.
 In 1812 a Swiss explorer named Johannes Burckhardt set out to ‘rediscover’ Petra; he dressed up as an Arab and 
convinced his Bedouin guide to take him to the lost city, After this, Petra became increasingly known in the West as a 
fascinating and beautiful ancient city, and it began attracting visitors and continues to do so today. Petra is also known 
as the rose-red city, a name it gets from the wonderful colour of the rock from which many of the city’s structures were 
carved.
 The Nabataeans buried their dead in intricate tombs that were cut out of the mountain sides and the city also had 
temples, a theater, and following the Roman annexation and later the Byzantine influence, a colonnaded street 
and churches. In addition to the magnificent remains of the Nabataean city, human settlement and land use for over 
10,000 years can be traced in Petra, where great natural, cultural, archaeological and geological features merge.
 On December 6, 1985, Petra was designated a World Heritage Site,, also Petra was chosen by the Smithsonian Magazine 
as one of the 28 places you should visit them before you die.
 After the visit return to Amman for overnight.
