Day 1

  1. Amman Citadel

    The Amman Citadel (Jabal al-Qal'a) is a historic site atop one of Amman's seven hills, encompassing ruins from multiple civilizations dating back to the Bronze Age, Assyrian, Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, and Umayyad periods. Its most impressive monument is the Umayyad Palace complex from the early 8th century AD, while the Temple of Hercules — represented by a massive hand — dates from the Roman period. The citadel's panoramic views over modern Amman and the Roman Theatre below are outstanding.

Day 3

  1. Dead Sea

    The Dead Sea is a salt lake bordered by Jordan and Israel at 430 meters below sea level — the lowest point on Earth's surface. Its extraordinary salinity (10× that of the ocean) makes it impossible for conventional aquatic life to survive, but allows bathers to float effortlessly on the surface. The mineral-rich black mud smeared on the shores is prized for its therapeutic skin benefits, and the surrounding desert landscape of russet cliffs and pale blue water is strikingly beautiful.
