After breakfast, you'll explore Amman, known in ancient times as Philadelphia. You'll see the Roman Theatre, the Archaeological Museum and the hilltop Citadel with its ruined Temple of Hercules.

Walking its colonnaded main street, you'll take in the Cardo, the South Theatre, the Temple of Zeus, Hadrian's Arch, the Temple of Artemis and the Nymphaeum, along with Byzantine churches rich in mosaics. You'll then return to Amman for the night.

Beyond it you'll discover soaring temples, royal tombs, a theatre and ancient water channels. In the evening, you can experience the magic of Petra by Night — a candle-lit walk through the Siq to the Treasury, with music and stories bringing the old Nabataean city to life.
