Ammirate gli straordinari murales e graffiti che adornano le pareti, mostrando la dinamica scena artistica di strada della città mentre entrate e uscite dai negozi.
Chi vuole immergersi nella storia e nella cultura del paese può invece visitare il Jordan Museum, che ospita una vasta collezione di manufatti che vanno dalla preistoria alle civiltà antiche, come i Nabatei e i Romani. Esplora le interessanti mostre, che espongono oggetti come sarcofagi finemente intagliati, mosaici dettagliati e i famosi Rotoli del Mar Morto.

Giorno 2: Tour di un giorno intero di Jerash, Ajloun e Amman
Start today's tour with a 45-minute transfer north to the Archaeological Site of Jerash, one of the best-preserved Greco-Roman cities in the Middle East. Wander the extensive site, and be sure to check out the well-preserved remains of two amphitheatres, the north-south Colonnaded Street and the Hippodrome (the site of ancient chariot races). Continue to Ajloun, 30 minutes away in the highlands, where you can visit the 12th-century Ajloun Castle, a fortress built to ward off the Crusader armies at the vital trade and pilgrimage intersection between Jerusalem, Cairo, Damascus, and Mecca.
Roam the ramparts and enjoy the sweeping views of the surrounding valleys and olive groves before returning to Amman to tour the magnificent Amman Citadel and the second-century Roman Theater, two of the most famous archaeological sites in the capital. After learning more about the area's rich history and architectural prowess, enjoy a free afternoon strolling amid colorful wares and aromatic spices in Amman's old souks (markets).

Day 3: Transfer to Petra via the Kings’ Highway: Madaba, Mount Nebo, Karak, Dana & Petra 
Today you will travel to Petra on the Kings Hwy a route that has been in use for centuries. Your driver will pick you up from the hotel in the morning and transfer you to Madaba. Best known for its spectacular Byzantine and Umayyad mosaics, Madaba is home to the famous 6th century Mosaic Map of Jerusalem and the Holy Land. With two million pieces of vividly coloured local stone, it depicts hills and valleys, villages and towns as far as the Nile Delta. The Madaba Mosaic Map covers the floor of the Greek Orthodox Church of St. George, which is located northwest of the city centre. The church was built in 1896 AD, over the remains of a much earlier 6th century Byzantine church. The mosaic panel enclosing the Map was originally around 15.6 X 6m, 94 sq.m but only about a quarter of which is preserved. You will then proceed to Mount Nebo where Moses is said to have stood and looked out to the Promised Land. On a clear day you can look out over the Dead Sea and all the way to Jerusalem. Continuing down the Kings Hwy you will stop at the Wadi Mujib viewpoint. Known as the Grand Canyon of Jordan this is an expansive valley and offers great views.

Day 4: Explore Petra, Transfer to Wadi Rum Desert
Explore Jordan's beloved archaeological treasure this morning, the lost city of Petra. Known as the "Rose City" for the area's distinctive red sandstone, it's easy to see why Petra was named one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. Its intricate architectural design is hundreds of years old and remarkably well-maintained. Meet a local guide for a two-hour tour of the site, then spend the rest of your visit exploring at your own pace. Enter through the Siq, a dramatically narrow gorge flanked by towering cliffs that leads to Petra's seemingly endless temples, tombs, and colonnaded streets.
Admire the treasury's intricate facade, then navigate the impressive water conduit system of the historic Nabataean city, paying a visit to Qasr al-Bint, a grand temple that was once the population's primary place of worship. After getting your fill of Petra, transfer south to the wilderness of Wadi Rum, an expanse of desert dubbed the "Valley of the Moon" by Lawrence of Arabia. Along the two-hour drive, pass through red valleys, rock canyons, and dunes to reach a Bedouin-style camp, where you'll spend the night sleeping under the stars.
 
Day 5: Wadi Rum - Dead Sea 
You will be transferred 03.30 hrs to the lowest point on earth, the Dead Sea, along the Dead Sea Hwy. Before heading to the Dead Sea, we will go to Wadi Mujib Reserve the lowest nature reserve in the world. This will be available from 1st April until the 31st of October and subject to weather conditions * . It lies in a deep valley holding one of Jordan’s most breath-taking sceneries. Here you will have a chance to hike through one of the many trails and enjoy the wildlife and scenery of the reserve.
Then heading to the Dead Sea to enjoy the rest of the day relaxing and using the hotel facilities including access to the Dead Sea and experiencing the unique sensation of floating in the salty waters.

Upon arrival, meet your driver outside the airport and transfer to your hotel, where you can refresh before setting off on a four-hour tour of the city. Start at the Egyptian Museum, home to one of the world's largest collections of ancient Egyptian artifacts. Admire the array of art, intricate jewellery, mummies, and Tutankhamun's famous golden death mask.
Continue to the Cairo Citadel, built atop the Muqattam Hills in the 12th century to fortify the city against Crusader invasions. Your next stop is Saint Virgin Mary's Coptic Orthodox Church, better known as the Hanging Church, as it was built on the ruins of a Roman fortress, giving it the illusion of hanging above the street level below. End the tour at Khan el-Khalili, a bustling bazaar district full of intricate handicrafts, tantalizing spices, and Egyptian street food. Try koshary, the national dish made of rice, lentils, and macaroni topped with crispy fried onions and tomato sauce, before returning to the hotel.

Transfer 30 minutes to the Giza Plateau, where the pyramids await your visit, starting with the Great Pyramid of Giza, the only survivor of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Built as a tomb, its shape was intended to help the spirit of the dead pharaoh rise to heaven. Continue to the Pyramid of Khafre to see the best preserved of the three main pyramids, then head to the smallest one, the Pyramid of Mycerinus.
After seeing the Great Sphinx, a colossal statue depicting a lion's body with a pharaoh's head, transfer one hour to the UNESCO-listed Saqqara Necropolis to discover its 4,600-year-old tombs, temples, and pyramids. End the tour in Memphis, the first unified capital of the ancient world, now an open-air museum just outside of the capital. Wander through the ruins of this historic city to see the remnants of statues, temples, and royal tombs. Don't miss the colossal statue of Ramesses II, one of the largest remaining statues from ancient Egypt, before returning to your hotel in the city.
 
Day 8: Fly to Aswan, Visit the High Dam & Philae Temple, Board Nile Cruise
Catch a 1.5-hour flight south to Aswan this morning, an archaeologically rich city on the banks of the Nile River. Upon arrival, meet your guide and embark on a tour of the beautiful Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess of healing and magic, Isis. Continue to the Aswan High Dam, one of Egypt's most remarkable engineering achievements of the modern era. Look down at the monumental structure, sitting between Lake Nasser and the Nile to provide flood control, irrigation, and hydroelectric power generation for the whole country.
After exploring Aswan's landmarks, transfer to the shores of the Nile to check into your scenic river cruise ship, which will serve as your accommodation for the next four nights. Enjoy lunch on board, then trade the cruise ship for a felucca—a traditional wooden sailboat—to sail down the river. Pass some of the surrounding islands, like Elephantine Island, named after the elephant god Khnum, and El-Nabatat, home of the Aswan Botanical Garden, before returning to the cruise ship for dinner and a show.
 
Day 9: Nile Cruise to Luxor via Temples of Kom Ombo & Edfu
Enjoy a delicious breakfast on board as you cruise to the Temple of Kom Ombo, dedicated to Sobek, the crocodile-headed god of fertility, and Horus, the falcon-headed god of the sky. Wander through the twin halls, courtyards, and sanctuaries of the double temple built between 180 and 47 BCE until you reach the crocodile museum, where mummified crocodiles are displayed, to learn more about Sobek's followers. Return to the cruise ship to sit down for lunch and make your way to the city of Edfu, where a horse-drawn carriage awaits your arrival.
Ride through the historic centre, past colourful houses, bustling souks, and ancient temples until you reach the Temple of Edfu, one of the best-preserved temples in the country, also dedicated to the falcon god. Disembark and admire the imposing facade, towering columns, and intricately carved reliefs depicting ancient myths and rituals. After exploring the temple, take the carriage back to the ship, where you can enjoy dinner as you cruise toward the city of Luxor on the east bank of the Nile.
 
Day 10:  Luxor Hot-Air Balloon Ride (Optional), Visit the Valley of the Kings
This morning, you have the option to go on a hot-air balloon ride over Luxor at sunrise for a bird's-eye view of the city. If you choose to do so, wake up before dawn and transfer to the launch site for a safety briefing. When the balloons are inflated, jump into the basket and rise above the city and winding Nile River. Watch as the sun bathes the ancient ruins below in golden light as it slowly rises. Once you touch down, continue the adventure at the Valley of the Kings, a UNESCO-listed necropolis where pharaohs, like Tutankhamun, and powerful nobles were laid to rest.
Descend to the meticulously carved tombs and look out at the vibrant murals depicting each resident's journey to the afterlife. Head up to Deir el-Bahari, a complex of mortuary temples above the tombs dedicated to Queen Hatshepsut. Then, end the tour at the Colossi of Memnon, twin statues of the Pharaoh Amenhotep III. In the afternoon, return to the ship to eat lunch and enjoy the rest of the day at leisure. You could take advantage of the ship's amenities by relaxing by the pool or having a drink at the bar, but if you want to get off the water, book a transfer into Luxor to explore more of the city on foot.
 
Day 11: Disembark Nile Cruise, Visit Karnak & Luxor Temple, Fly to Cairo
È tempo di dire addio alla nave da crociera questa mattina mentre fai il check-out e ti dirigi a Karnak, uno dei più grandi complessi templari del mondo. Passeggia lungo l'Avenue of Sphinxes per raggiungere l'ingresso del tempio, dove sarai accolto da imponenti colonne, rilievi finemente scolpiti e statue maestose. Entra nella Grande Sala Ipostila, una struttura monumentale adornata da 134 enormi colonne, ciascuna decorata con iscrizioni e immagini geroglifiche. Passeggia lungo i corridoi labirintici e attraverso i lussureggianti cortili, ammirando le conquiste architettoniche degli antichi egizi.
Ritorna all'Avenue of Sphinxes e seguila fino al Tempio di Luxor, che era un centro di culto religioso e cerimonie reali durante il periodo del Nuovo Regno. Fermati all'esterno e ammira l'imponente facciata adornata da statue, obelischi e rilievi prima di entrare nella sala principale. Scopri i santuari, le cappelle e i santuari all'interno, dedicati a divinità come Amon-Ra, Mut e Khonsu.
