    Islamic Heritage Tour of Jordan — 4 Days

    A four-day private tour tracing Jordan’s rich Islamic heritage — the shrines and companions’ tombs around Amman, the Battle of Mutah (Muta) site and Sahaba shrines in the south, the Desert Castles of the Umayyads, and a visit to Petra and Wadi Rum. A specialist guide is available on request.

    What to expect

    A walkable introduction to Jordan’s capital. You will explore the Amman Citadel and its Temple of Hercules overlooking the old downtown, then descend to the 6,000-seat Roman Theatre cut into the hillside. The downtown souks are busy, fragrant and full of life — falafel, hummus, fresh juice and Arabic coffee among them. Expect some hills and stairs, comfortable shoes and modest dress at cultural stops. The pace is relaxed and the route is flexible on a private tour.

Many tours continue to the 12th-century Ajloun Castle, built by Saladin’s general, for panoramic views over olive groves and the Jordan Valley. The ground is uneven stone with little shade, so start early in summer and carry water.
