About this trip

Bucket List Travel is excited to help you take Jordan off your bucket list! 


This is a budget-friendly four-day trip to Jordan, designed to introduce you to this amazing country's highlights.: Amman, Madaba, Mount Nebo, Jerash, Dead Sea, Petra, and Wadi Rum.

Trip Highlights

Guided tours include transportation and entry fees to all these sites:

  

Madaba, The City of Mosaics

Visit Madaba – best known for its spectacular Byzantine and Umayyad mosaics. The city is home to the famous sixth century mosaic map of Jerusalem and the Holy Land, which has two million pieces of colored stone.

Mount Nebo, Pilgrimage Site for Early Christians

Early Christians from Jerusalem made pilgrimage to Mount Nebo, where a small church was built in the fourth century to commemorate Moses’ life. Today the basilica houses a stunning collection of Byzantine mosaics.

Overnight in Amman at Nairoukh Palace (3*) 


  

Full Day Tour of Amman and Jerash

Tour the Jordanian capital of Amman, referred to in the Bible as the Ammonite Kingdom. Amman is a fascinating city of contrasts, a unique blend of old and new, located between the desert and the fertile Jordan Valley.

The ancient city of Jersash boasts an unbroken chain of human occupation dating back more than 6500 years. The city’s golden age came during Roman rule, and is generally acknowledged to be one of the best preserved Roman provincial towns in the world.

Dead Sea

We’ll visit the Dead Sea where the warm, soothing, super salty water – 10 times saltier than sea water - is rich in chloride salts of magnesium, sodium, potassium and bromine.

Dinner and overnight at the Dead Sea at Grand East Hotel (4 stars)


  

Petra, One of the New 7 Wonders of the World

The Rose City of Petra is a historical and archaeological city, described by UNESCO as “one of the most precious cultural properties of man’s cultural heritage.” It flourished in the first century AD, when its famous Al-Khazneh (Treasury) was constructed. We’ll enter the city through the Siq, a dark narrow gorge flanked on both sides by soaring cliffs. The Siq leads to the massive façade of the Treasury, carved out of the sheer, dusky pink rock-face and dwarfing everything around it.

Dinner and overnight in Petra at Edom Hotel (3*) 


  

Wadi Rum, the Valley of Light

Wadi Rum is a valley cut into the sandstone and granite rock in southern Jordan. It has been inhabited by many human cultures since prehistoric times, with many cultures leaving their mark in the form of rock paintings and temples. Khaz'ali Canyon in Wadi Rum is the site of petroglyphs etched into the cave walls depicting humans and antelopes dating back to the 8th century BCE. The village of Wadi Rum itself consists of several hundred Bedouin inhabitants with their goat-hair tents and concrete houses. Much of the 1962 movie Lawrence of Arabia was shot in Wadi Rum.

We had a great time! Annie and her team took care of everything once we arrived. The communication was excellent with reminders and tips ahead of the trip and Annie answered every e-mail very quickly. The tours were top-notch, as were the accommodations and the staff. Thank you for making our vacation one to remember!

One week after the trip and I am still dreaming of elephants. This trip was everything I hoped for and so much more! Comfortable accommodations, excellent food and fabulous itinerary. The pacing of the itinerary was excellent; mixing days in the bush with visits to rescue centers, historical areas and landmarks. Lots of wildlife including 12 game drives. Don’t miss Zimbabwe. It was a highlight. Definitely walk with the lions. PS I am a celiac and ate incredibly well.

It's hard to imagine a more comprehensive or better organized tour of the fascinating and friendly country of South Africa than the one presented by Annie and her team of friendly, knowledgeable, and dedicated guides. They know the right places to visit and stay, and the trip was a perfect mix of activity and downtime. The accommodations were always clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The meals were interesting, delicious, and presented by friendly, attentive professionals. The activities were varied and offered with the option of participating or not participating according to one's interests. It's hard to imagine the time and energy that Annie devoted in preparation, and her presence throughout the tour added to the fun while, at the same time, provided a sense that I was in very good hands. This trip fulfilled my cousin's ambition to visit Africa, and he, too, has wonderful things to say from the experience. Kudos to everyone involved!

My husband and I were nervous when we booked this trip; uncertain of what to expect including accomodations and food. Wow! The food and lodging was top-notch. The people were wonderful and the guides were second-to-none. What a trip of a lifetime! Lots of animal sightings including a lion pride with their cubs. Everyday was just as incredible as the day before. So many mouth dropping experiences. We cannot wait to go back again! Thank you, Annie, for making our trip magical!

Carole and Dan - Thank you so much! It makes me so happy that you had such a great trip - that's why I do this work!! My guides and partners in Africa loved hosting you, and I am thanking the safari gods for giving you such great wildlife sightings! It was a privilege to introduce you to the wonders of Africa - and we would be delighted to take you back there any time. Annie

I just returned from a once in a lifetime trip to Cairo organized by Bucket List Travel. Annie took care of every detail of planning, and it really showed when I got off the plane and was taken care of from start to finish with the greatest care. Our guide Yasser was kind, professional, knowledgeable, and funny! He went above and beyond to ensure every need was met and we got the most out of each day in Egypt. I always felt safe and loved experiencing local life and culture. I plan to grab my friends and book again with Bucket List Travel!
