After a morning at leisure. You will be picked up from your hotel and driven north for a tour of the impressive Roman sites of Jerash and the Crusader castle at Ajloun with your local guide. You will then return to Amman.

Today you will enjoy a guided tour of Petra. Your private guide will be with you for around two to three hours, after which you have some time to explore further on your own. Although it is probably the highlight of your holiday, bring your walking shoes and be prepared for an inspiring but energetic day! This evening you will visit Petra Kitchen, which is an informal cookery night. You can have as much or as little involvement as you want, and the food is fantastic!

Early this morning depart Petra and travel via Little Petra to the back entrance hike to the Monastery — arriving before the crowds. You then continue through the Petra site to the visitor centre before enjoying the rest of the afternoon at leisure.
