Jordan Classic Highlights

Not every guest wants an alternative route — many simply want the sites Jordan is famous for, covered efficiently and comfortably in a short trip. This is that itinerary: the same core sites as most competitors, run on a tight, realistic schedule with well-located hotels. It's intentionally the easiest itinerary in our portfolio to book for a first-time visitor.
