Our Golfing Tour is designed to offer you the best of both worlds during your trip to Jordan. You’ll get to see the best of what the country has to offer, such as the ancient city of Petra and the spectacular deserts of the Wadi Rum, as well as giving you plenty of time to enjoy what you love best – golfing. The beautiful and modern Ayla golf club offers a 120 hectare, 18-hole golf course created to reflect the natural terrain of the area, with spectacular waterfront views from wherever you’re teeing off. The grass has been selected to stay green all year round, so whether you’re a professional or an enthusiast, you can count on an unforgettable golfing experience whenever you plan on visiting Jordan.
Begin your journey with a meet and greet at Amman’s Queen Alia Airport. Our airport representative will be there to welcome you and assist with your visa, customs, and luggage. Afterward, the representative will escort you to your driver, who will be waiting in the arrival hall, holding a sign with your name. You will then be transferred to your hotel in Amman.
Today you will be travelling south to Petra. After breakfast, your tour will start with a visit to the St. George Church in Madaba, which is renowned for its famous mosaic map. You will then drive to Mt. Nebo, where Moses viewed the Promised Land.
Later, you will be taken to the Dead Sea, the lowest point on the earth’s surface. You can enjoy the rest of your day floating in the salty waters, or perhaps try out the famous healing mud.
You will then continue your journey to Aqaba.
You’ll spend the next two days in the magnificent new Ayla Golf Club. You should arrive at least 30 minutes prior to your tee time to spend the rest of today enjoying the 18 hole course.
Optional: Non-golfers can enjoy the spa treatment at La Menara. You also have the option of visiting the Aqaba Bird Observatory or enjoy a Lunch Cruise and snorkelling.
Ayla Golf Club:
Home to Jordan’s first 18-hole championship golf course and 9-hole golf academy, is Ayla’s Signature Award Winning Golf course, designed by Greg Norman, also known as the Great White Shark after winning more than 90 tournaments worldwide and arguably the most successful athlete-turned-businessman in the world. With over 800,000 square metres of rolling green fairways, both beginner and expert golfers are welcome to enjoy this one-of-a-kind eco-friendly golf course overlooking Aqaba’s captivating mountain landscape. The golf course was carefully designed with Jordan’s unique ecological topography in mind by creating a series of man-made lakes and wadis that act as reservoirs for groundwater irrigation whilst becoming integral features of the course design and layout.
In addition, these water bodies are providing a stopover for migrating birds which compliments the natural ecosystem we have created.
AGC offers one of the region’s best fully floodlit par 3 academy courses which act as a perfect introduction for new golfers. Both courses extend over 800,000 square metres and comprise rolling green fairways dotted with crystalline lagoons and thriving ecosystems, with significant elevation changes and holes playing in all directions.
The Golf Club includes a Golf Academy offering first class private and group teaching and practice services by PGA-qualified golf professionals to all aspiring young golfers or professionals seeking to hone their skills.
After breakfast, the driver will be waiting for you in the lobby to take you to the Wadi Rum desert. Before starting your jeep tour, you have the option of a one-hour camel ride from Wadi Rum Village to Lawrence’s Spring. You will then begin your half-day jeep tour (4 hours), which includes a freshly prepared barbecue lunch. A jeep tour is the best way to discover many of the sites in Wadi Rum. The jeep will stop at each site, giving you time to walk, scramble around, and perhaps even climb up some of the beautifully natural formed bridges.
After your visit to Wadi Rum, you will drive to Petra, one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
You’ll have a full day to explore Petra, one of the seven wonders of the modern world with your guide. You’ll enter through the Siq and visit the Treasury, Street of Facades, Theater, Colonnaded Street and all the sights. After lunch inside Petra you will also have time to visit the Monastery and/or the High Place of Sacrifice today. It is a lot of climbing but it’s definitely worth it for the views!
After the sightseeing you will drive to Amman for your lat night.
This is the end of your tour of Jordan: Ahlan wa Sahlan!
