Enjoy a good breakfast, and then at the time which was confirmed with you yesterday, you will be picked up at your hotel, and you will be taken to see Jerash, the site of what was once a flourishing Roman city. This site is considered to be the finest and most well-preserved example of early Roman Architecture outside of Italy.
After spending some time at Jerash, you will then be driven to the Dead Sea which happens to be the lowest area on earth. Because of this, the water has an extremely high salt and mineral content, and mud from the area is famous for its skin health benefits. While relaxing at the Dead Sea, we strongly recommend floating on the water for a totally unique experience.

After breakfast, at the time which will have been confirmed with you, our tour representative will collect you from your hotel, and you will be driven to Petra which is about a 2.5 hour drive. This tour is, without question, going to be one of the top highlights of your Egypt and Jordan combined tour.
Also known as the Rose Red City of Petra or the Lost City of Petra, this magnificent site is essentially an entire ancient city which was carved out of the rock face on either side of a very deep and relatively narrow 1,200-meter-long canyon.
Work on the city began during the 6th century BC by the Nabatean Arabs. The splendor and beauty of the city is simply beyond words, and it is beautifully well-preserved. It is been declared one of the New World Wonders, and from the minute you arrive, you will see why. It is also Jordan’s most important and most famous tourist attraction. If you haven’t been to Petra, then you haven’t been to Jordan.
Your tour of Petra will typically last for about two and a half to three hours, and you will have an experienced local guide with you to show you all the best parts. After your tour, you will then be driven back to your hotel in Amman where you will be spending the last night of your Egypt and Jordan combined tour.

NOTE: Petra tours involve quite a lot of walking, so we recommend wearing suitable footwear.
