Upon arrival at Queen Alia International Airport, you will be greeted by the JiJ team and transferred to the Four Seasons Hotel in Amman. There are no set plans for the afternoon, allowing time to unwind and enjoy a spa treatment included in your Journey. For guests arriving earlier in the day, there is an optional visit to the two remarkable mosques of King Abdullah I and King Hussein. In the evening, join us for welcome drinks and dinner at La Capitale Restaurant at the Four Seasons Hotel, with a first introduction to Jordanian wines.
Your exploration of Amman begins at the Roman Amphitheatre, followed by a guided walk through the Amman Citadel, a hilltop site rich in layers of history. Then perhaps a stop at the Royal Automobile Museum — amongst the finest of its type anywhere in the world, showcasing an impressive collection of vehicles. Later in the day, we travel to the Dead Sea, arriving at the Kempinski Hotel in time for dinner. The evening is yours to enjoy at leisure.
A full day dedicated to relaxation. Float in the healing waters of the Dead Sea or enjoy a treatment at the hotel's excellent spa. For those seeking more adventure, there is an optional visit to the warm waterfalls of Ma'in, a natural thermal oasis tucked into the hills. JiJ is on hand to assist you throughout the day. Dinner is served at the hotel, with the option to dine at the Italian restaurant if open.
Depart the Dead Sea and visit one of Jordan's most sacred Christian sites: the location of Jesus's baptism along the Jordan River. Also included is a visit to the newly inaugurated Catholic Church of the Baptism of the Lord, opened by Cardinal Pietro Parolin and Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzabella in January 2025. Onwards to Petra, and your accommodation at the Hayat Zaman Hotel & Resort. A light refreshment awaits upon arrival. Dinner is served at the hotel and the evening is at leisure.
An early breakfast sets you up for a day exploring the rose-red city of Petra. Your guided tour begins with an electric buggy ride to the iconic Treasury, followed by a walk through ancient tombs, temples, and carvings. Optional camel or donkey rides are available, should you wish to venture further. After a day of wonder, dinner is served back at the hotel.
Leave Petra behind and travel to Aqaba, Jordan's window to the Red Sea. Check in at the Kempinski Hotel or Al Manara Hotel, and enjoy the remainder of the day at your own pace. A variety of complimentary water-based activities are available, including scuba diving, snorkelling, jet/water skiing, paragliding, and power boating. In the evening, dine by the sea at the Royal Yacht Club.
Enjoy breakfast at the hotel before departing according to your individual schedule. JiJ is happy to arrange to extend your stay in Aqaba and/or to assist with travel to Amman and additional nights at The Four Seasons Hotel.

Traveller stories
What our guests say:
Hear from the travellers whose lives have been enriched by a Journey in Jordan.
Visited Jordan from Doha. We had a fabulous time and our JiJ hosts were wonderful. The climate is perfect and the country is full of history. Jordan is at the crossroads of culture in the Middle East and has a Levantine spirit. One of the most enjoyable holidays ever. Here am I with one of our JiJ hosts in the Roman Theatre, Amman. We love that the trip was fully inclusive and that it was Adults only.
Doha, Qatar
I enjoyed a wonderful visit to Jordan with JiJ. I have never been so well looked after and was overwhelmed by the terrific hospitality and friendliness of all the people I met. The rooms I was given were superb, as were the different meals I enjoyed. I was surprised by how much Jordan has to offer - from Roman cities to ancient Judaeo-Christian sites, and from spectacular desert scenery to sun drenched beaches and luxurious spas. There is something for everyone in Jordan. I highly recommend JiJ and would not visit again unless it was with them. They looked after me, without compromise, from start to finish. Many thanks to the great team! I look forward to a return visit soon.
UK/Iceland
Excellent hosts and guides with in-depth historical and local knowledge. I visited amazing ancient sites in Jordan and experienced fantastic kindness from its people. The food and wines were delicious throughout the trip. After a week, I have a much deeper understanding of Jordan and the region. Meticulous planning and attention to detail. Fascinating and very worthwhile.

We had a wonderful week’s holiday with Journey in Jordan visiting the country’s key sites and enjoying the JiJ Team’s amazing hospitality and local knowledge. The organization of the trip was outstanding and we visited many places not on our itinerary, enjoying great food and wine on the way. It was a truly luxury all-inclusive holiday. What a great time we had. Many thanks to Islam, Jonathan, and Oliver.
