While historical sites allow you to hear stories of the past, it's the market stalls with freshly prepared dishes and coffee with a host family that allow you to experience the present.

When under Roman rule, Amman was the bustling capital of the Roman Empire with the name of the city back then being Philadelphia. The structure was built between 138-161 CE dating back to the reign of the Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius. The theatre could once sear up to 6,000 people in its steep stairs.

Learn how the milk is kept in a cheesecloth to obtain a thick yogurt in which salt is added daily to thicken the yogurt substance. After a few days of salting and rinsing the yogurt is dense enough to be shaped into round balls. The balls are dried outside in sun or shade and then used in the main dish. As you eat and listen you will gain insight into this unique way of life; a tapestry woven with time-honored traditions and cherished customs. There may be an opportunity to engage in the time-honoured practice of goat milking, offering a true glimpse into authentic daily activities.FREE TIME: Spend some time in Amman on your own. Some optional activities available in the area to boost those cultural connections are, the Jordan Museum, Art Gallery Ras Al-Ain, and some perusing of handmade goods on Rainbow Street.","lat":"31.95522","lng":"35.94503"},{"title":"Day 4: Dana Biosphere Reserve: Spectacular Natural Landscapes","name":"Amman","description":"From Mount Nebo it is said that Moses set sight for the first time on the promised land, how beautiful it must have been, and it still is. Wander into the Dana Biosphere Reserve, home to human settlement well before the earliest writing.

Born naturally curious, we search a special connection and an understanding of the larger world, and today you get to pick how you get that connection. Choose between walking with a Bedouin shepherd to immerse yourself in a truly unique way of life or meet with a Bedouin Family to learn more about their culture, with the opportunity to prepare traditional dishes together.Choose between two different activity options to either spend a day with a local shepherd or to immerse yourself in the daily life of the Bedouins with a cooking class.

With only 15% of the site exposed, there are still mysteries and secrets that are destined to remain locked in time. We likely will never witness the site returned to its former glory, when over 20,000 people lived within the city, but that shouldn't stop you from harnessing your inner explorer and following the ancient back trail from Little Petra to Petra, a unique way to enter the site, leaving the crowds behind.Start the morning at Little Petra, a site many skip but unique and charming compared to its famous big neighbour. Then embark on a hike along the ancient trail that leads to the back entry into Petra to the Monastery. Along the way you will take a deserved break to enjoy your packed lunch before continuing on to the front entrance of Petra visiting the site as we make our way to the hotel. Spend free time in Petra City to round out the day in this incredible landscape.ACTIVITY: Explore the narrow alleyway with tall cliff walls and carved rock of Little Petra, which is similar to its larger namesake. Hike along the canyon to the Petra Visitor Centre. Also known as Siq al-Barid, Litte Petra was once a suburb of its larger neighbour Petra. It served a support town for traders heading to the main city. Built by the Nabateans and carved right into the sandstone of the canyon there are tombs, temples, dwellings, and evidence of a sophisticated water system designed by the Nabateans. On this hike you'll begin at the smaller temple, ending at the larger, most recognized one. The best part? You get to walk along a trail that has been used since the first century B.C.E. \n\nTerrain: moderate to rocky, uneven, & sandy.\nLength: 12 km (7.5 miles)\nDuration: 5-6 hours at a leisurely pace","lat":"30.32221","lng":"35.47933"},{"title":"Day 7: Wadi Rum: Desert Landscapes","name":"Petra","description":"Witness the dawn of a new day in the red rose city as old as time itself. Watch as the sun awakens the enigmatic wonder of Petra in its warm golden light, and feel as if you are the one who discovered this carved city built by the Nabateans more than 2000 years ago. The sands of time are no match for this magnificent structure in the Middle-East. Head further south and continue your discovery of Jordan, entering the sandy valley of Wadi Rum.Visit Petra again at sunrise before driving to Wadi Rum for a Jeep tour through the rolling sand dunes and some light hiking. Enjoy the sun slipping beneath the horizon amid the desert landscape and savour a delicious dinner back at camp with the group.ACTIVITY: Visit Petra one last time for an impressive sight of sunrise above The Treasury. Truly the best time to see Petra in all its glory, you will experience far fewer visitors at this early hour. Sit down, take it all in, and feel how the string of time pulls thinner while the sun lights up the sandstone cliffs in an ethereal glow.TRANSPORT: Settle in and scan the scenery from the convenience of a private vehicle.ACTIVITY: Hop in the jeep and cruise through the desert over the dunes before some light hiking in Siq Al Barrah with sunset views and cup of tea to keep you company in the vast landscape. Walk through impressive desert mountain scenery with vast multi-coloured cliffs and rock towers looming over the red sands below. Keep an eye out for the rick array of animal and plant life as the canyon winds through the large canyon with smaller canyons sprouting off along each side. At the end of the hike soak up the coming twilight and get cozy under a blanket in the sand with your warm tea. \n\n\nTerrain: Easy, sand with gravel and a gentle downhill with some dunes at the lower, northern end of the hike.\nLength: 5-7 km (3 to 4.5 miles)\nDuration: 4-5 hours (including 4x4 tour)","lat":"30.32221","lng":"35.47933"},{"title":"Day 8: Dead Sea: Hike Wadi Himara and Swim","name":"Wadi Rum","description":"Like travel, the power of water knows no bounds, which you will see evidence of even in the middle of a desert. Spend the day hiking through Wadi Himara, where water winds through the narrow canyon and creates verdant green gardens. Follow it up by submerging yourself in the Dead Sea, making you feel weightless in water that feels lighter than air.Drive to the Dead Sea and hike through Wadi Himara along a river before taking a swim in the Dead Sea. In the evening sit down for a farewell dinner with the group and swap stories of your adventures.TRANSPORT: Settle in and scan the scenery from the convenience of a private vehicle.ACTIVITY: Walk beside water stream winding through smooth rubble that was once fractured by the flowing of the water here. The splits in the rock open allowing the water to pour out along the path. Among these springs there are four offering cold water to the valley, while the remaining two release hot water that reaches 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit). Search for the cold spring residue that resembles travertine rocks with formations ranging from 1-20 meters in diameter, and covering the valley like suspended green gardens. Witness Jordan's tallest waterfall with a pond below fed by the cascading runoff from the Dead Sea from 80 metres away.\n\nTerrain: easy to moderate with some rocky, uneven sections of trail\nLength: 2-3 km (1-2 miles)\nDuration: 4-5 hours at a leisurely pace\n\n*It is recommended that you pack hiking clothing, shoes, a sunhat, and sunscreen for this trail.ACTIVITY: Discover the legendary healing qualities of the Dead Sea, famous for its unique mineral makeup and salinity. Spot salt chunks drifting by like icebergs on the water’s surface. Take a dip yourself and float like a buoy or cover yourself in the mud along the shore, believed to have medicinal and therapeutic benefits. There are showers nearby to wash off after. \r\n\r\n","lat":"29.58458","lng":"35.42627"},{"title":"Day 9: Amman: Departure","name":"Dead Sea","description":"Your adventure comes to an end, and you can depart at any time today.
