A Brief History of Castle of Ajloun or Qalaat Errabadh (Arabic for “Hilltop Castle”): After you are satisfied with your castle visit, we will drive back towards the city of Jerash where you can find Roman settlement in all of the Middle East and you will get a chance to gaze upon this special place that has survived thousands of years.

Travelling to Madaba only takes ten minutes and it is a city known for its spectacular Byzantine era mosaics. Possibly the most famous of these mosaics lies within the 19th century Greek Orthodox Church of Saint George. Unearthed in 1864, this map constructed in the 6th century once contained millions of mosaic pieces and depicts lands from Palestine to Egypt.
Later we will take you to hotel so you will be rested for a day of exploring the Rose City of Petra.

Day – 4 : Petra
Petra is a city that was lost for centuries until its discovery by the Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt in 1812. It is a city that inspired many a poet, John William Burgon being no different.
The Monastery (Al–Dair): This monastery is a one hour climb up 800 rock steps from the basin restaurant/museum area. Don’t be intimidated by the ascent though; donkeys are available, but the essence of the experience for many people is in the walk itself.
Wadi Araba Vantage Point: If you are a lover of scenic landscapes and breath-taking views, another part of your day should include this location. With just an extra ten minute walk from the Monastery, you will be happy you took the extra time.
Overnight stay at the hotel.
Day – 5 : Wadi Rum
After breakfast you will continue your excursion into the majestic Wadi Rum. From Petra, it is around a one and a half hour drive to Wadi Rum along the King’s Highway. You will be taken on a mountain road, up to an elevation of 1,600 metres above sea level where you will be able to observe valleys dotted with Bedouin settlements and their herds of livestock.
Camel ride: who can resist trekking through the desert on the back of a camel? This is best done after sunset or during early sunrise.
Horse ride: want to experience Wadi Rum as T.E. Lawrence once did? Then horse riding is something that you cannot miss out.
Hot air balloon: you’ve enjoyed the magic around you, but do you want to see more? Then the hot air balloon is exactly what you’re looking for; you will have a bird’s eye view of this beautiful landscape

Overnight stay at the hotel.
