Optional Tour Extension
Three Day Itinerary May 19 – 21, 2022
Day One – Thursday, May 19, 2022: Cross to Jordan Be transferred from Jerusalem to Jordan from Allenby Bridge at 8:00 AM. After crossing the border, we drive to Jerash to visit the incredible Roman city built over 2000 years ago. Travel to Madaba, the Biblical Medeba, for a visit to a church built over the 6th-century mosaic map of the Holy Land. Drive to Mt. Nebo to view the mountains of Israel and the Promised Land as Moses did just before he died. Continue south for dinner and overnight on the Dead Sea. Relax with a swim/float in the Dead Sea. Overnight: Jordan, Dead Sea, Crowne Plaza Hotel (or similar).
Day Two – Friday, May 20, 2022: Petra Leaving the Dead Sea, travel on the King’s Highway, the path of Moses and the children of Israel on their way to Caanan Land. Drive toward Kerak via Wadi Al-Mujib, the Grand Canyon of the Middle East. View the magnificent Crusader fortresses. Their history goes back long before the Crusaders; the earliest remains are from the Iron Age, shortly after the Exodus, when this was part of Moab. Its doom was prophesied by Isaiah (16:7), who mentions its “raisin cakes,” presumably a local specialty. Continue to Petra for a day of touring the Red Rock City, considered the eighth wonder of the world, a complete city carved in colored sandstone. Enter the Nabatean city of Petra on foot, horseback, or horse-drawn carriage, to experience the breathtaking Treasury, the Palace of Justice, and other amazing and spectacular sites. After passing back through the Siq, the natural gorge, board the coach to return to our hotel on the Dead Sea. Overnight: Jordan, Dead Sea, Crowne Plaza Hotel (or similar).
Day Three – Saturday, May 21, 2022: Farewell We will request a late check-out so you can enjoy a swim in the Dead Sea, rest, and relax at the incredible Dead Sea. We will have a late-morning departure for your transfer across the border to Israel and continue to Ben Gurion International Airport. Breakfast will be provided, but you will be on your own for lunch and dinner. The airport in Tel Aviv has an array of restaurants while you wait for departure late in the evening.
