End the day with an overnight stay under the stars in this unforgettable landscape.
The journey continues north through Jordan’s historic highlands to explore the mosaic city of Madaba and the viewpoint of Mount Nebo. From there, descend to the Dead Sea for two nights of restorative relaxation, including a free day to float, rejuvenate in the mineral-rich waters, and soak in the serene environment. The trip concludes with a transfer to Queen Alia International Airport for departure.
