Check-in at The Old Village Resort
Settle into a luxury suite in this converted 19th-century village. The resort offers a blend of historic stonework and modern luxury, located just minutes from the Petra entrance.
Private Guided Tour of the Siq & Treasury
Enter the UNESCO World Heritage site through the Siq. Your private archaeologist guide will share secrets of the Nabataean civilization before you emerge at the iconic Al-Khazneh (The Treasury).
Petra by Night Exclusive Experience
Experience the magic of the Treasury lit by over 1,500 candles. This exclusive evening event features traditional Bedouin music and storytelling under the starlit desert sky.
Day 3: Petra Exploration & Return to Amman
Hike to the Monastery (Ad Deir)
Take a guided morning hike or a donkey ride up the 800 steps to the Monastery, Petra's largest monument. The morning light provides the perfect opportunity for crowd-free photography.
Luxury Lunch at The Basin
Located deep within the archaeological park, enjoy a gourmet buffet lunch surrounded by the towering sandstone mountains of the Petra basin.
Artisan Shopping & Tea
Visit the local workshops to find high-end, handcrafted jewelry and Nabataean-style pottery before your private transfer begins the journey back toward Amman.
Farewell Dinner in Amman
Conclude your luxury escape with a contemporary Levantine feast at Sufra on Rainbow Street, celebrated for its authentic flavors and elegant villa setting.
Best Time to Visit Jordan
The ideal time to visit Jordan is during the spring (March to May) or autumn (September to November). During these months, temperatures are pleasant, ranging from 18°C to 25°C (64°F to 77°F), making it perfect for exploring Petra's outdoor trails and enjoying the Dead Sea without the scorching summer heat or the chill of the desert winter nights.
Currency & Money
The official currency is the Jordanian Dinar (JOD). While high-end hotels, restaurants, and large shops in Amman and Petra widely accept major credit cards like Visa and Mastercard, it is essential to carry some cash for tips and small purchases in more remote areas. Tipping (baksheesh) is a standard practice in Jordan; 10% is customary in upscale restaurants if a service charge is not already included.
Getting Around Jordan
For a luxury itinerary, private chauffeured transfers are the gold standard. While there are no passenger trains between major tourist hubs, the road network is well-maintained. Domestic flights are available between Amman and Aqaba for those looking to reach the Red Sea quickly, but for the Dead Sea and Petra route, a private car offers the best combination of comfort, flexibility, and scenic viewing.
