North of Amman Jerash is located, the best preserved Roman provincial city in the Middle East. See the Forum, Colonnaded Street, the Temple of Artemis and of Zeus. Overnight in Amman.

Day 3: Amman – Dead Sea – Kerak – Petra
Along the spectacular King's Highway, an old caravan route, we drive to Petra in southern Jordan.

Then we drive to Kerak for visiting the Crusader castle, built in 1142 and well known for its underground halls. Overnight in Petra.

Day 4: Petra
The whole day we have time to discover the red-rose city of Petra, belonging to the Seven Wonders of the World. The rock city had been carved in the sandstone by the Nabataeans 2000 years ago. After leaving behind the 1.2 km narrow canyon called Siq we reach the impressing Treasury. Other highlights will be the Royal Tombs, Qasr al-Bint and the Monastery El Deir. Overnight in Petra.
