Itinerary

Expand All

Day 1: Amman Arrival

Location: Amman

Accommodation Name: hotel

Welcome to Jordan! Upon arrival at Queen Alia Amman International Airport, you will be met by our representative and transferred to your hotel.




Overnight in Amman

Day 2: Amman – Jerash – Amman (B/-/-)

Location: Amman

Accommodation Name: hotel

Meals Included: Breakfast

After breakfast, enjoy a morning city tour of Amman visiting the Citadel, Museum, Amphitheatre, the Folklore Museum, and King Abdullahs Mosque, touring old and new parts of Amman. After the tour, head north to Jerash, the Graeco-Roman city (ancient Gerasa), a close second to Petra on the list of top destinations in Jordan. Boasting an unbroken chain of human occupation dating back more than 6,500 years back in time, this city was hidden in the sand for centuries before being excavated and restored over the past 70 years, Jerash is a fine example of the grand, formal, and provincial Roman towns that can be found throughout the Middle East. One may walk beneath the four imposing gates or down the \"Street of Columns\" north from the “Oval Plaza” while stepping over the tracks of chariot wheels still visible in the paving stones.




Overnight in Amman

Day 3: Amman – Madaba – Baptism – Petra (B/-/-)

Location: Petra

Accommodation Name: hotel

Meals Included: Breakfast

In the morning you will be transferred to Petra with an en-route visit to Madaba, and Mount Nebo a (Kings Highway) drive to visit Baptism the site believed to be the original place where John baptized Jesus the Baptist. Then drive along the 5,000-year-old King's Highway is one of the most memorable journeys in the Holy Land, passing through a string of ancient sites. The first city you come upon is Madaba, \"the City of Mosaics\". Madaba's chief attraction, in the contemporary Greek Orthodox church of St. Georg, is a wonderfully vivid, sixth-century Byzantine mosaic map showing Jerusalem and other holy sites. Ten minutes to the west is the most revered site in Jordan: Mount Nebo, the memorial of Moses, the presumed site of the prophet's death and burial place. A small, square church was built on the spot by early Byzantine Christians and later expanded into a vast complex. Later proceed further south to Petra.




Overnight in Petra

Day 4: Petra (B/-/-)

Location: Petra

Accommodation Name: hotel

Meals Included: Breakfast

After breakfast at the hotel, depart on the desert way to Petra for a visit and an 800-meter horse ride. Hidden behind an almost impenetrable barrier of rugged mountains, the legendary “Red Rose” city of Petra is, perhaps, the most stunning site in the Middle East, carved out of craggy rocks by the Nabateans, the industrious Arab people who settled in the south more than 2,000 years ago. Approaching through the cool gloom of the Siq, a long narrow gorge, you will discover steeply rising sides all but obliterate the sun, which provides a dramatic contrast with the magic to come. Suddenly, the gorge opens into a natural square dominated by Petra's most famous monument, the ‘Treasury [Al Khasneh], whose intricately carved facade glows in the dazzling sun. The Monastery [El Deir] and the High Place of the Sacrifice [Al Madbah] are some of the myriad archeological wonders waiting to be explored in Petra. After the tour, head back to your hotel in Petra.




Overnight in Petra

Day 5: Petra – Aqaba (B/-/-)

Location: Wadi Rum

Accommodation Name: hotel

Meals Included: Breakfast

In the morning, depart for Wadi Rum for a jeep ride through the desert. Stunning in its natural beauty, Wadi Rum epitomizes the romance of the desert. With its \"moonscape\" of ancient valleys and towering mountains rising out of the sand, Wadi Rum is also home to several Bedouin tribes who live in scattered camps throughout the area. Climbers are especially attracted to Wadi Rum due to its sheer granite and sandstone cliffs, while hikers enjoy its vast empty spaces. Wadi Rum is probably best known for its connection with the enigmatic British officer T.E. Lawrence, who was based here during the Great Arab Revolt of 1917-18. Much of David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia was filmed in Wadi Rum. After the tour, head back to your hotel.




Overnight in Aqaba

Day 6: Aqaba – Amman (B/-/-)

Location: Amman

Accommodation Name: hotel

Meals Included: Breakfast

After breakfast, enjoy your morning at leisure before you are transferred via the desert way back to Amman in the afternoon for check-in and overnight.

Thanks to Indus and Nicko...

13-Sep-2024

Thanks to Indus and Nicko Cruise for a great trip down the Danube. I had not been on a river cruise prior to this and found it a very relaxing way to travel and see some European highlights. The ship was superb. The staff served great meals, were friendly and accommodating. As far as the tours and city visits, they all gave us a reasonable amount of time and insight into the location we were visiting to come away with a sense that we had a good glimpse of the city and were able to spend some free time in the city as well. A special thanks to Dhruv our fearless leader from Indus who was a great organizer. Lastly - nice to meet all of you in our group. terry

07-Dec-2023

Booked Mystical Egypt tour with them visiting Cairo and a 03 Nights Cruise from Luxor to Aswan in May. All services were perfect since the time we arrived at the airport, we were met by a hospitable Indus Representative who helped us with the purchase of local SIM and currency exchange. He was always there in time to assist for transfers. The Amwaj Cruise which we took from Luxor to Aswan was a Gem. We had great guides and all sightseeing worked like a clockwork. We enjoyed visiting Karnak Temples, Temples of Edfu, Kom Ombo and the boat ride to see Phillae Temple. Evening entertainment on cruise were great and engaging. In Cairo and Aswan, we had ample leisure time to explore on own, the Pyramids were impressive and visiting Khan e Khalili was fun. Overall and impressive and enjoyable tour, Thanks to Indus Travels!

09-Jun-2023

Recently went on a Rhine River Cruise, a first for me. I must say the experience was exceptional, their tagline says. The group I was with were some of the most fun and interesting set of people I've ever traveled with. The ground transportation arrangements were top notch and comfortable. Variety in menu that we were provided with in the cruise was astounding. I was a bit worried if they'd have much options for me as I'm a vegetarian. But they not only had options, the taste was something I'd savor for foreseeable future. There's a reason Rhine cruises are popular owing to it's serene and picturesque route. Guided tours were very informative and gave us a bit of an insight of German culture. We had good amount of time to explore the towns on our own too. Strasbourg and Cochem were my favorite stops. Luckily the weather worked in our favour and it didn't rain the way it was predicted originally. No one from our group wanted the tour to end. If this trip was any indication, I can't wait to book my next trip with Indus Travels.

04-Mar-2024

Indus Travel runs a highly professional organization. From customer service to brochures, bookings, tour guides, etc. and the consideration for their customers is superb. This was the first time I had travelled with Indus Travels. We took the Taste of Portugal Tour. Group numbers are small, accommodation comfortable and food excellent. The expert guide who accompanied us was outstanding - passionate, informative, engaging, and entertaining. This company is obviously at the heart of the itinerary planning, and attention to detail is second to none. I would highly recommend this company to anyone wanting a fun, relaxed, educational vacation with fine food - they will deliver! We will never forget this trip and we are already planning for another one to Wonders of Italy, Vienna, Budapest, and Prague.

We were looking for a customized, small group tour. We took a chance on Indus without knowing much about the company. We just returned from our trip to Greece and are more than highly please and satisfied with our experience. They planned an amazing itinerary, booked amazing hotels, hired knowledgeable tour guides and arranged high quality transportation services. Everyone went above and beyond to please us. We are already planning a trip for next year (2024) and will definitely use Indus to do so.
