Jordan in Winter: Luxury Escape – 5-Star Adventure with a Special Iftar Experience

Day 1 - Welcome to Jordan

Step into a world of wonder as you arrive in this breathtaking land. Upon landing at Queen Alia International Airport in Amman, the Fleewinter team will be there to greet you with VIP assistance, ensuring a smooth and seamless start to your journey.

Once your luggage has been collected, you’ll be escorted to your waiting vehicle for a comfortable transfer straight to the stunning Dead Sea—an ideal place to unwind and take in the extraordinary surroundings.

Day 2 - Free Day at the Dead Sea

After a delicious breakfast at the resort, you’ll have the entire day to unwind and enjoy the unique experience of floating and relaxing in the Dead Sea. This extraordinary place is without a doubt one of the world’s most remarkable locations. Situated in the Jordan Rift Valley, the Dead Sea lies more than 400m (1,312ft) below sea level, making it the lowest point on Earth.

Fed by several rivers, including the River Jordan, the water here is landlocked, causing it to evaporate and leave behind a rich, dense cocktail of salts and minerals, which are vital for industries such as agriculture, medicine, and cosmetics.

The highlight of the Dead Sea is, of course, the warm, soothing waters—remarkably ten times saltier than the average sea water. Packed with magnesium, sodium, potassium, bromine, and other minerals, the water is not only incredibly buoyant but also rich in therapeutic properties.

For centuries, visitors have been drawn here, from King Herod the Great to the legendary Cleopatra, all of whom enjoyed the benefits of the rich, black mud and the soothing waters. Take a moment to float effortlessly, absorbing the healthy minerals while basking in the gentle rays of the Jordanian sun.

Day 3 - Dead Sea - Petra - Aqaba

After a hearty breakfast, you’ll be transferred to one of the modern wonders of the world: the ancient city of Petra. Stepping into Petra is like entering the gates of history itself. Legends say it was built by magic, and the city was so well protected by the rough terrain that the Romans couldn’t conquer it until 106 AD. As you wander through this remarkable site, you’ll experience the magic of Petra, where every rose-red stone tells a story of the ancient Nabataean civilisation.

After exploring Petra, you’ll journey on to Aqaba, where you’ll enjoy a relaxing dinner and overnight stay at your hotel.

Petra

Known as one of Jordan’s greatest treasures and its most iconic tourist attraction, the ancient city of Petra is located about three hours south of Amman. It was once the thriving heart of the Nabataeans, an industrious Arab people who settled in southern Jordan more than 2,000 years ago.

Petra’s fame grew from its remarkable architecture, refined culture, and innovative systems for managing water, including an intricate network of dams and channels. Today, it stands as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, drawing visitors from all over the world.

What makes Petra so captivating is its dramatic setting, deep within a narrow desert gorge. To reach the heart of the city, you’ll walk through the Siq, a winding, kilometre-long chasm with towering walls that rise 200m above you. At the end of the Siq, Petra’s most famous monument—the Treasury—emerges in a breathtaking and unforgettable way.

Day 4&5 - Free days in Aqaba

Take the day to relax and unwind at your resort in Aqaba. With plenty of time to float, relax, and enjoy some leisurely moments by the Red Sea, it’s the perfect way to recharge.

Aqaba, often overlooked by many visitors, is actually one of Jordan’s hidden gems. While it offers a delightful spot for a peaceful getaway, it’s also a great base for exploring the rich history and attractions of southern Jordan.

This charming town has a bit of everything, from fascinating historical sites to excellent hotels, exciting activities, and fantastic shopping. It also boasts superb visitor facilities and, of course, the warm hospitality of the local people, who take great pride in ensuring that every visitor has a wonderful experience.

Day 6 - Aqaba Hotel – 2-Hour 4X4 Jeep Tour in Wadi Rum – Wadi Rum Camp

Today you will be transferred to the breathtaking Wadi Rum desert—one of Jordan’s most iconic and stunning landscapes, often hailed as the most beautiful desert in the world.

Once you arrive, you’ll embark on a thrilling 2-hour 4×4 jeep tour, where you’ll venture into this stupendous, timeless place, virtually untouched by the forces of humanity. The weather and winds have shaped the towering, imposing rock formations that rise majestically from the desert floor, which T.E. Lawrence famously described as “vast, echoing and God-like.”

As you explore, you’ll discover a maze of monolithic rockscapes that soar to heights of 1,750 metres, creating a natural challenge for mountaineers. For hikers, the boundless tranquillity of the desert is a peaceful escape, offering the chance to wander through canyons and waterholes, and uncover 4,000-year-old rock drawings and other hidden treasures in this vast wilderness.

After your jeep adventure, you’ll be transferred to your camp in Wadi Rum, where you’ll check in and enjoy the serenity of this magnificent desert.

Day 7 - Wadi Rum Camp – Amman City Tour (Citadel & Roman Theatre) – Iftar with a Local Family – Amman Hotel

After a morning in the magnificent desert, you’ll make your way back to Amman. Once in the city, you’ll enjoy a fascinating tour of the capital, starting with the Citadel, a historical gem offering panoramic views of the city and a glimpse into its rich past. You’ll then visit the impressive Roman Theatre, a grand testament to Amman’s ancient heritage.

In the evening, you’ll experience a warm and welcoming Iftar with a local family, where you can enjoy traditional Jordanian dishes in a homely, friendly atmosphere. After a memorable evening, you’ll be transferred to your hotel in Amman to relax and unwind.

Day 8 - Amman Hotel – Queen Alia International Airport
