From wandering the ancient city of Petra to the flowing sandy dunes of the Wadi Rum, there are thousands of things to experience in Jordan – but why not treat yourself a little as you do so? Our Health and Beauty Tour of Jordan combines elements of both health and fitness with a lot of pampering ‘you time’. You can get your blood pumping with invigorating hikes through gorgeous canyons with small cascading waterfalls, and end your day with an oriental massage and relaxing mud wrap. Explore Petra, and spend the evening relaxing in a Turkish Hammam. With so many wonderful spa treatments on your itinerary (including plenty of time at the Dead Sea itself) you’ll arrive back home fully refreshed in both body and mind.
Arrive at Amman Queen Alia International Airport, where our airport representative will be waiting for you with a name sign to organize and pay your visa fee. The airport rep will walk you through customs to the luggage hall, and then take you to your driver who will be waiting for you in the arrival hall, also holding a name sign. The transfer to your hotel will take about 1 hour, for an overnight stay at the 4* Dead Sea Spa Hotel.
Spend your first full day relaxing by the Dead Sea. Float in the salty water and try out the famous natural healing mud full of the minerals. We’ll book two treatments for you on this day; 1 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon. Oriental Massage of 50 minutes & Relaxing Mud Wrap of 50 minutes
Start your first day very relaxed, and discover all the facilities of the hotel such as the swimming pool, beach and Spa. Relax before and after the treatment in the sauna, steam bath, Jacuzzi, salt bath and swimming pool of the spa and, obviously, don’t forget to float in the salty waters of the Dead Sea. Stay overnight at the 4* Dead Sea Spa Hotel.
You’ll have another free day to relax by the Dead Sea and enjoy the many facilities of the hotel.
Optional (from 1st April – 30th Oct ): After breakfast you’ll have the opportunity to drive to Wadi Mujib to hike the adventurous and exciting Malaqi water trail. This hike is difficult but a lot of fun and takes around 6-8 hours. You will be hiking with a private English-speaking RSCN guide. It starts at the visitor centre and leads quickly to a striking area of creamy white hills made of soft rock deposits. After passing through these hills, you’ll begin your descent to the river Mujib; crystal clear, fast flowing and teeming with life. Small fish are plentiful, as well as frogs. Bright kingfishers are often seen speeding along the river channel, as well as circling birds of prey. Dense vegetation lines the river banks, making a stark contrast to the arid, naked mountains that surround you. The hike continues upstream along the river to its confluence with the Hidan River (Malaqi Area). Here you can linger, eat a picnic and just enjoy this wild paradise.
On this day you’ll drive to Wadi Ibn Hamad, where your next hike is planned. At Hammamat Ibn Hamad you will find palms, oleanders and lots of other vegetation. Before you start the hike you have the chance to enjoy an hour in the warm swimming pools of the Hot Springs. You’ll then start hiking with your private English-speaking guide through this beautiful Wadi. You will pass through an open area and then go through an amazing canyon with beautiful small waterfalls. Sit under the small waterfalls and have a lot of fun! Continue hiking until you reach the Dead Sea road where a car will be waiting to transfer you directly to Petra for overnight stay at 4* Petra Guest House. Dinner is not included on this night, but there are several restaurants close to the hotel as well as a buffet dinner option at the hotel. (Boxed lunches are included)
You’ll have a full day to explore Petra, one of the seven wonders of the world. There is private local English-speaking guide included for 2-3 hours who will show you around the city centre of Petra. After you have visited the Siq, Treasury, Street of Facades, Theatre and Colonnaded Street you will still have time to see the Monastery and/or the High Place of Sacrifice. It is a lot of climbing, but worth it for the views! We can organize a lunch package for you or you can reserve lunch in a restaurant in Petra. Of course you are free to do what you like. In the evening you will visit the local Turkish Ham-mam, well deserved after a full day of touring Petra! Stay overnight at the 4* Petra Guest House
Today you will hike the Wadi Gwair Trail. The guide will be waiting for you in the lobby of your hotel, to drive you to Mansoura and start your hike. Make sure to wear comfortable clothes and strong sturdy shoes – it’s important to bring an extra pair of shoes with you, since you’ll be walking through water streams and are sure to get your feet wet (this is important for all hikes). Also you’ll need to bring a cap to protect you from the sun. Although most of the hike you’ll be walking through the canyon in the shade, at the end of the hike you will be walking in full sun. Lunch boxes will be prepared in advance. The hike takes around 5-7 hours, at the end of which there will be jeeps waiting to take you back to your hotel in Petra. Stay overnight at the 4* Petra Guest House

After check-in at your hotel in Amman you’ll have some time for relaxation.
The driver will pick you up in the evening to discover Amman by night and enjoy some shopping. In the evening you’ll have dinner at Tawaheen AlHawa, a very delicious Jordanian cuisine BBQ dinner with hot & cold Mazza.
