Meet, assist & transfer from Queen Alia Intl Airport to Amman. Tour the city of Amman. Start with the downtown area, the oldest part of Amman, which is crowned by the Citadel, which offers a panoramic view of the whole city. Here one can also see the ancient ruins of the Temple of Hercules that dates back to (AD 161 - 180), the Byzantine Church, the fascinating Archaeological Museum which houses an excellent collection of the antiquities of Jordan.

Day 2: Amman - Madaba - Mount Nebo - Baptism Site - Dead sea
After breakfast, drive to Madaba, home of the most famous Byzantine mosaics. Visit the greatest and most significant of all the city's treasures, the wonderful mosaic map of ancient Palestine, which is located on the floor of the Greek Orthodox Church of St. George. Proceed to Mount Nebo, which dates back to the time of the Prophet Moses, around the 12th century BC. It is believed to be the site of the Prophet's burial place and the point from where he viewed the "Promised Land". Lunch in a local restaurant in Madaba.
Descend from Mount Nebo to Bethany, the Baptism site at el-Kharrar Valley, where Jesus Christ was baptized. Finally proceed to the Dead Sea, the lowest spot on earth -394 meters below sea level- for swimming in its salty waters.

Then on to the Street of Facades, the Theater, the Royal Tombs, the Colonnaded Street, the Byzantine Church, the Temple, the Monumental Arch and Qasr el-Bint Faroun.
