Breakfast, then drive north for a full day tour to three of Jordan's most historical sites: Jerash, Ajlun and Umm Qeis. You will start in the biblical land of Gilead (Jerash). This is one of the finest preserved Greco-Roman cities, which the Hellenistic forces of Alexander the Great called Antioch on the Chrisorhoas. It is one of the best preserved cities of the decapolis. Within its intact towered city walls, are colonnaded streets, three theaters, several baths, two temples, plazas, fountains and many other public spaces that formed the typical wealthy provincial Roman town. From the Byzantine period, Jerash has at least 15 churches with sparkling mosaics. Back to the hotel for an overnight. (B,L)

After an early breakfast, drive south, via the King's Highway, on your way to what is rightly called "The 8th Wonder of the Ancient World": Petra. As you pass south of Amman through the Old Ammonite Kingdom, we reach Madaba, with one of the best preserved collections of early Christian Byzantine mosaics from the 4th to the 7th centuries AD. Ten minutes east of Madaba, is Mt. Nebo, with its commanding view of the Dead Sea and the Jordan Valley. It is the same spot where Moses is thought to have looked out over the Holy Land. Continue to the massive crusader fortress of Kerak, with its labyrinth of underground galleries, rooms and secret passages. Its thick defensive walls are pierced by narrow slits, where the crusader's archers held out in vain for over 1000 years. Continue to Petra. Overnight at Tibat Zaman Hotel. (B,D)

After breakfast, start your full day tour is the rose red city of Petra, the wondrous, rock-carved Nabatean capital. From that same well-secured spot, the Nabatean Arab kingdom controlled one of the greatest international trade routes of the ancient world, the fabled "Spice and Incense Route", which linked China, India and Southern Arabia with rich markets of Greece, Rome and the Mediterranean world. For approximately 500 years, between the 3rd century BC and the 2nd century AD, the Nabateans carved a fabulous city out of the rose red rock, of which over 800 individual monuments and tombs can still be appreciated today. Overnight at your hotel. (B,L)
