Jordan: An In-depth Geographical Expedition Through Fascinating Historical and Biblical Sites
An unforgettable journey to our neighbor in the east, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan: a fascinating combination of the canyons of Moab along with one of the wonders of the new world: the breathtaking Nabatean city of Petra. The trip includes hikes in the water-rich canyons of Moab, adorned gardens hanging in the heart of the gorge, and deep valleys that, as a result of long erosion processes over the years, have created vibrant red cliffs – all against the backdrop of the shores of the Dead Sea on the Jordanian side. Fascinating historical sites, along with captivating archaeological sites throughout the neighboring eastern kingdom, and, of course, the crown jewel: Petra, the most decorated and beautiful burial site on the face of the Earth.

Day 1 I Jerash - Madaba
In Jerash, gigantic gates, ornate columned streets, impressive Tetrapylons erected at the intersection of Cardo and Decumanus streets, temples, theaters, a hippodrome, and a synagogue converted into a church will capture our attention. After exploring this historically significant site, we will head south to the Madaba region for an overnight stay.
Day 2 I Madaba - Mount Nebo - Machaerus - Wadi Musa
In the morning, we will visit the historically significant site from which Moses, our leader, gazed upon the Promised Land but was denied entry – Mount Nebo, overlooking the Promised Land from the east. We'll continue to another location that will help us better understand our land through the medieval map of Madaba, depicting the Land of Israel during medieval times. We'll then journey through the breathtaking landscapes of the Dead Sea to Machaerus, an ancient Hasmonean fortress where the beheading of John the Baptist took place, an event significant in Christian history. From here, we'll proceed to the ancient village of Dana, located at the entrance to the stunning Dana Nature Reserve, bordering the Nahal Feinan nature reserve. Dana offers various and diverse landscapes, and here we'll embark on a short walk from the village corners to admire the beautiful scenery before heading south for an overnight stay in Wadi Musa.
Day 3 I Marvels of Petra - Dead Sea
A fascinating tour of Petra awaits us today. In the morning, we'll set out on a day of walks and enchanting views in the wonder of the new world: Petra. We'll start by walking through the narrow and impressive canyon, "Al-Siq," marveling at the impressive tombs of the Nabateans from their grandiose golden days and proceeding along the impressive path leading to the Treasury – the breathtaking Al-Khazneh carved entirely from one rock. We'll continue through the theater to the royal tombs and the processional way. We'll climb to the largest monument, "Ad-Deir," from which we can gaze upon the Negev and the Arava, among other views. Towards the afternoon, we'll leave Petra and head north to the Jordanian side of the Dead Sea, where we'll relax at a local resort on its shaded shores.
Day 4 I Dead Sea - Baptism Site Basin
This morning, we'll enjoy the facilities of the wonderful hotel, embarking on a climbing journey to the Moab Mountains to Hammamat Ma'in. We'll bathe in the warm spring waters, dip under the waterfall, and relish in the services and a superb breakfast in a hotel considered one of the most beautiful in the Middle East. After our last day of leisure in the tour, we'll head to the Baptism Site Basin on the Jordan River, overlooking the other side of the Israeli Baptism Site Basin, where pilgrims flock each year. From here, we'll travel back north, possibly completing various tours described in previous days.
