Itinerary

1. Day 1: Amman Tour

   • Meet the tour guide and explore Amman. The city has so many must-see attractions and things to do that you can easily spend a pleasant day or two. Downtown Amman is a must-see. At the bottom of the city’s many hills and overlooked by the magisterial citadel, it features spectacular Roman ruins, an international-standard museum and the hubbub of mosques, souqs and coffeehouses that are central to Jordanian life. Elsewhere, urban western Amman has leafy residential districts, cafes, bars, modern malls and art galleries; and in earthy eastern Amman, it’s easy to sense the more traditional and conservative pulse of the capital.
   • Pass by the hotel to get rid of your luggage, then head to the east of Amman to see its beauty. We will provide you with a digital map with all the attractions, restaurants, and must-see places.

2. Day 2: Dana Village Tour

   • Leave Amman heading to Dana. At the top of Dana mountain, Dana village is situated. From Dana village, a trail goes between the mountains looking over the long valley of Wadi Dana amidst splendid sandstone scenery and diverse landscapes.  
   • Follow the path going up, then down to Ghuwair valley, then up again to eventually arrive at this amazing view over the area and spend the night there.
     • Dana is Jordan’s largest nature reserve, covering some 320 square kilometres of spectacular mountains and wadis along the face of the Great Rift Valley. From scorching sand dunes in the west to cool mountaintops in the east, the Dana Biosphere Reserve is home to a great variety of wildlife. There is plants and animals characteristic of a true desert, of Mediterranean forests and of the dry plains of Russia. In fact, Dana is really a melting pot of species from three continents: Europe, Africa and Asia.
