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.

The order is flexible, and you choose your preferred start time when booking.

Confirmation is received at the time of booking. A current passport or photo ID is required on the day of travel. Itineraries are flexible on private tours — tell us your interests and pace and we will adjust.

Accessibility & physical requirements

Accessibility

Most day-trip sites involve some walking on uneven ground and gentle inclines. Tell us about any mobility considerations when you book and we will adjust the pace and route.

Physical requirements

Light to moderate — some walking on uneven ground at sites. Suitable for most travelers in reasonable health.

Seasonal considerations

Spring and autumn offer the most comfortable conditions. Summer afternoons are hot across Jordan — start early. Winter is quiet and clear but cold in the desert and highlands.

Important notes

Jordan is a safe, welcoming destination. Dress modestly at religious and cultural sites (shoulders and knees covered). Carry cash (JOD) for small purchases and gratuities. Hotels and desert camps across Jordan charge a compulsory New Year's Eve gala dinner of about $50–100 per person, paid on site. We will confirm the exact amount. Every tour group entering Jordan at the Arava / Wadi Araba (Eilat–Aqaba) border must be accompanied by a licensed Jordanian guide. If you are arriving at this border, we add a guiding fee of USD 175 per tour day for your whole group (not per person). Example: a 2-day tour adds USD 350.

What to bring

• Comfortable walking shoes
• Sun hat, sunglasses & sunscreen
• Water bottle
• Light layers for the season
• Cash (JOD) for small purchases & gratuities
• Passport or ID
