INCLUDES : Breakfast

Be sure to put on your walking shoes!

Travel along the 2,000 year old King’s Highway, making your first stop of the day at Madaba, home to a 6th century mosaic map of the Holy Land. Continue your journey along the road to Mount Nebo; rising 840 metres, this is both the alleged burial place of Moses and a fantastic spot to snap pictures as you look out over the Holy Land. The final stop is Kerak – a 12th century Crusader castle perched on a hilltop nearly 1,000 metres above the sea. End the day with your arrival into Petra for an overnight stay.
