Overview
Difficulty

Easy to moderate — short walks on mostly even ground

Walking

2–4 km at the main site

Driving

See the day-by-day itinerary for driving distances and times.

Discover Amman's most famous sites — the Citadel and Roman Theater — then continue to Mount Nebo, where Moses stood and looked out over the Promised Land, before finishing with a float in the Dead Sea. Private sedan for 1–3 persons or H1 van for 4–7.

Highlights

  • Amman Citadel and Roman Theater
  • Mount Nebo — where Moses viewed the Promised Land
  • Float in the Dead Sea at the lowest point on Earth
  • Biblical history and relaxation in one day
  • Private vehicle with English-speaking driver

What to expect

A short, scenic stop with deep biblical significance. Mount Nebo is where Moses is said to have viewed the Promised Land, and on a clear day the panorama stretches across the Jordan Valley toward Jericho. You will see the restored Byzantine mosaics and the modern serpent-cross monument, then continue — most Mount Nebo visits are part of a wider day that takes in Madaba’s mosaics or the Dead Sea. Expect a brief, easy walk and beautiful light at golden hour.

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. 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

Frequently asked questions

What time do we start?

Most day trips start between 07:00 and 09:00 from your Amman hotel. Your exact pickup time is confirmed the day before.

Are entrance fees included?

Check "What’s included" on each tour. The Jordan Pass covers most major site entrances and is usually the best value.

Can the itinerary be customized?

Yes — every private tour is flexible. Tell us your interests and pace and we will adjust the route.

What is the cancellation policy?

Free cancellation up to 48 hours before your tour start time. Group and option pricing is confirmed by our team within 24 hours of your request.

What is the Jordan Pass, and is it required?

The Jordan Pass is an official package from the Jordanian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities that bundles a tourist-visa fee waiver with entrance tickets to around 40 of Jordan’s leading sites. It is entirely optional — you do not need it to travel with us, and you are welcome to pay each entrance fee individually at the gate instead. You buy it online before you arrive, show it at each site entrance, and it also waives the tourist visa fee when you stay at least three nights in Jordan.

When is the Jordan Pass worthwhile, and what entrance fees does it cover?

The Pass covers entrance to Petra (one, two or three days depending on the tier), Jerash, Wadi Rum, the Dead Sea resorts, Mount Nebo, Madaba, Kerak, Ajloun, Bethany Beyond the Jordan and many more sites. For most travelers it pays for itself with a single Petra visit plus the visa waiver, so any additional site is effectively free — making it the best value if you are visiting Petra and at least one other major site, or staying two or more nights. If your tour already includes entrance fees (check “What’s included”), you may not need the Pass at all. We are happy to recommend the right tier for your itinerary — just ask.

Cancellation Policy

Free cancellation is available up to 48 hours before your tour start time. Cancellations made less than 48 hours before the tour, or no-shows, are non-refundable. Exceptions apply only where agreed in writing by email from Jordan by Locals. Refunds (where applicable) are returned to your original payment method.

If you paid a 25% deposit, it is non-refundable within 48 hours of the tour. Exceptions apply only where agreed in writing by email from Jordan by Locals.
