About this experience

Three relaxed days to really know Jordan's capital. Day one covers old Amman – the Citadel, the Roman Theatre and the downtown souks – and ends at sunset on Rainbow Street. Day two is for museums and neighbourhoods: the Jordan Museum, the art houses and cafés of Jabal al-Weibdeh, the King Abdullah I Mosque, and an evening food walk with dinner downtown.

On day three you leave the city centre for the Cave of the Seven Sleepers, the Hellenistic palace of Qasr al-Abd at Iraq al-Amir and the honey-coloured Ottoman town of As-Salt, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Questions travellers ask

Can we add Jerash or the Dead Sea?

Yes. Choose the extra Jerash & Ajloun day when booking, or message us to add a Dead Sea day or night – we adjust the plan and the price.

Is the price per person or per group?

Not per person: the price is for your private car with driver, for your group only – choose the vehicle that fits your group. Add-ons such as tickets, guides and meals are priced as shown next to each one, and the total updates live as you choose.

Can I change the pick-up time?

Yes. We suggest a time that avoids the heat and the crowds, and you can adjust it after booking by message or WhatsApp.

How do I pay?

Choose your payment method at checkout. You will receive an instant booking email, and our team confirms your driver (and guide, if you added one) within a few hours.
