Day 1: Amman Arrival

Location: Amman

Accommodation Name: Hotel in Amman

Welcome to Jordan! Upon arrival at Queen Alia International Airport, you will be met and assisted by our company representative through the Jordanian immigration and customs formalities. AAfter the formalities drive to Jerash [ancient Gerasa], the Graeco-Roman city, and a close second to Petra on the list of top-rated destinations in Jordan. Boasting an unbroken chain of human occupation dating back more than 6,500 years back in history, this city was hidden in the sand for centuries before being excavated and restored over the past 70 years. Jerash serves as a fine example of the grand, formal, and provincial Roman towns 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 which continue to be visible in the paving stones. From there you will continue to Ajloun to tour the 12th century Saracen Castle built by one of Saladins lieutenants in the campaign against the Crusaders before returning to Amman.




Overnight in Amman



*(Please Note: The Jerash visit is only possible if clients arrive in Amman before 13:00 hrs)

Day 2: Amman - Madaba - Kerak - Petra (B/-/-)

Location: Petra

Accommodation Name: Hotel in Petra

Meals Included: Breakfast

After breakfast, drive south along the Kings Way to Petra, visiting Madaba with the oldest map of the Holy Land, and its Mosaic School, Mt. Nebo, and the alleged burial site of Moses overlooking the Dead Sea and the Jordan Valley. From there you will drive through the magnificent scenery of Wadi Mujib to Kerak to see the Crusader Castle (stop for an optional lunch, not included).




Overnight in Petra

Day 3: Petra (B/-/-)

Location: Petra

Accommodation Name: Hotel in Petra

Meals Included: Breakfast

Prepare for a full day to discover the sites of Petra. This city was carved into the rose-red Sharah Mountains by the Nabateans and lost to Civilization until it was re-discovered by the Swiss Burkhardt. Walkthrough the Siq, a narrow and winding fissure between the cliffs to reach the Treasury, the Roman Theater, the Courts, Qasr Bint Pharaoun, Temple of the Winged Lion, and other fascinating monuments. Enjoy a break for optional lunch or you may wish to climb up to the Monastery.




Overnight in Petra

Day 4: Petra - Wadi Rum - Amman - Departure (B/-/-)

Location: Wadi Rum

Meals Included: Breakfast

This morning depart for Wadi Rum. Stunning in its natural beauty, Wadi Rum epitomizes the romance of the desert. With its \"moonscape\" of ancient valleys and towering sandstone 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 because of its sheer granite and sandstone cliffs, while hikers enjoy its vast empty spaces. Wadi Rum is probably best known because of 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. Enjoy a 4x4 jeep ride to visit the many sites in the moon-like landscaped desert.

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.

07-Oct-2023

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.
