Welcome to Amman, the vibrant capital of Jordan. As one of the world’s oldest cities, Amman has been inhabited since the Bronze Age and continues to evolve into the modern era, all while preserving its rich history and unique charm.

Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by your airport assistant and private driver, who will transport you to your accommodation. Depending on what time your flight arrives and how you want to spend your first day in Jordan, you can opt to do a guided city tour, or join a cooking class to learn about how to prepare tasty Jordanian cuisine.

Travel south with your private driver towards the ancient city of Petra.
