Your pilgrimage begins as you depart the USA on an overnight flight.

You will be welcomed to Amman, Jordan, by our representative and transferred to your hotel in Amman for dinner and overnight.

Tour Amman City and see the Citadel, the Archaeological Museum and the Roman Theatre. Journey to Jerash, one of the best-preserved Roman cities in the world. Stroll through the oval piazza and wander along colonnaded streets etched by the wheels of ancient chariots. Stand in the grand theatre where an onstage whisper can be heard in the top row. Continue to Wadi Rum and settle into your Bedouin Camp for a BBQ dinner and overnight in a Bedouin Tent.

Otherwise known as Valley of the Moon, the landscape of Wadi Rum with its immensity, color and awe-inspiring shapes creates an almost supernatural atmosphere. The setting for the film Lawrence of Arabia, and the actual location where T.E. Lawrence set his camp, whose book “The Seven Pillars of Wisdom” was named after the seven natural columns varying in height located in route to Wadi Rum. Bedouin camps are evident in the Wadi, which is still home to several Bedouin families, who welcome visitors with the hospitality and generosity that Bedouins are so famous for. Explore the desert with a 4x4 driven by local Bedouins. Your guide can also arrange a camel ride in the desert for an additional fee. Travel north to Petra to check in to your hotel for dinner and overnight. Time permitting you may stop in Siq Al-Barid known as “Little Petra” along the way.

Explore the city of Petra. Its entrance passes through a long, narrow gorge known as the Siq and can only be accessed by golf cart, horseback or on foot. Once inside the city, marvel at the intricate detail of a city that was cut into the cliff sides of rose-colored rock. Return to your hotel in Petra for dinner and overnight.

This morning, visit Mount Nebo, where Moses caught a glimpse of the Promised Land (Deut. 34). On a clear day, you can see all the way across the Jordan Valley and the Dead Sea, to the rooftops of Jerusalem and Bethlehem. Travel to the border and cross into Israel, where a local representative will meet you. Board your transfer to the Sisters of Nazareth hotel.
