Itinerary

1. Day 1: Arrival to Amman - Amman tour

   • Arrive in Amman and be greeted by your tour representative.
   • 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. 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. Enjoy your adventure.

2. Day 2: Azraq and Shumari Tour

   • Leave Amman going east to Azraq. Azraq is a unique wetland located in the heart of the arid Eastern Desert, which takes its name from the Arabic word for ‘blue’. A migratory stopover for birds from three continents

3. Day 3: Umm Qais and Hiking

   • Leave Azraq heading north to Umm Qais; in the northwestern corner of Jordan, in the hills above the Jordan Valley, are the ruins of the Decapolis city of Gadara, now called Umm Qais. The site is striking because it juxtaposes Roman ruins with an abandoned Ottoman-era village, as well as its tremendous vantage point, with views of three countries (Jordan, Syria, and Israel and the Palestinian Territories), encompassing the Golan Heights, Mt Hermon and the Sea of Galilee. According to the Bible, it was here that Jesus performed the miracle of the Gadarene swine: casting the demons out of two men into a herd of pigs. Today Umm Qais is at the forefront of community-tourism development in Jordan, and it's worth staying a night or two to enjoy an increasing array of options, from hiking and biking to beekeeping, foraging and cooking classes.
   • You'll hike around the area to see all the places mentioned above, then after, have a local lunch with the guide family.

If the weather is rainy, we will replace the Wadi Ghuwair trail with the Wadi Dana trail. Wadi Dana is the most famous trail in the reserve; the trail is a link between Dana village through the valley to Wadi Fyenan village, one of the oldest cities in the Levant with its huge copper deposit
