Itinerary
Begin with pickup from your Amman hotel, and meet your private driver for your tour. Hop inside your private, air-conditioned vehicle, and enjoy a sightseeing tour of Jordan’s capital.
The Citadel (Jabal al-Qal'a): Perched on the highest hill in the city, the Citadel is an archaeological site with a history spanning back to the Bronze Age. It was the ancient city of Rabbath-Ammon and later became the Roman, Byzantine, and Umayyad capital. Key sites within the Citadel include: The Temple of Hercules: A Roman temple dating to the 2nd century AD. Umayyad Palace: A complex of buildings from the Umayyad period (8th century AD). Jordan Archaeological Museum: Houses a collection of artifacts from various historical periods.
The Roman Amphitheatre: Located in the downtown area, this impressive Roman amphitheater was built in the 2nd century AD and could seat up to 6,000 spectators. It's still used today for cultural events and is one of the most visible remnants of Roman Philadelphia (the Roman name for Amman).
King Abdullah I Mosque (The Blue Mosque): An iconic landmark of Amman, easily recognizable by its magnificent blue dome. It's the only mosque in the city that openly welcomes non-Muslim visitors (with appropriate dress, which is often provided at the entrance).
Downtown (Al-Balad): The bustling heart of the city. A walk through downtown allows you to experience the authentic local life. You can explore traditional markets (souks), where you'll find everything from spices and fresh produce to souvenirs and handmade crafts.
Rainbow Street: A lively and popular street in the Jabal Amman neighborhood. It's known for its trendy cafes, art galleries, souvenir shops, and restaurants. It offers a glimpse into the more modern, bohemian side of Amman.
Having explored the city, settle back in your vehicle and enjoy the roughly 1-hour drive south through the Moab Desert to the Dead Sea. This massive salt lake sits about 1,312 feet (400 meters) below sea level, making it the lowest point on Earth. It is famous for the buoyancy provided by its salt- and mineral-rich waters and nourishing mud, which are used in therapeutic and cosmetic treatments. Upon arrival, head inside a beachside resort and have plenty of free time to enjoy the waters and surroundings as you like. Use the towels and lockers available, and relax on the mineral beaches. Soak up the sunshine and scenic views, coat yourself in mud for a revitalizing natural spa experience, and take a swim in the waters. Be sure to strike the classic pose of lying back and floating while reading a newspaper or book! When it’s time, return to Amman, where your tour concludes with a hotel drop-off.

My daughter and I visited the Dead Sea based on the photos we saw online with the large, white salt crystals. We were both disappointed that the beach had none of the beautiful salt crystals. The beach was clean and the life guards provided us with clean towels and fresh water. There were plenty of outdoor and indoor showers to rinse the salt water and mud off your body. We also enjoyed the lunch at the hotel.

The tour was super worth it! Visited important sites in Amman and ended with a blast at the dead sea! The lunch at the hotel was a feast. The dead sea experience is one of a kind. Thank you to Bardaghawi. He was helpful and easy to talk to. I recommend this tour if you only have 1 day in Jordan.

This trip was really great. Mr. Mint made it even better. He was very knowledgeable and patient when we visited the sites. He even pointed out sites that were along the way. He also stopped to let us take pictures. You can tell tha he is very passionate about Jordan and the Jordanian culture. I highly recommend Mr. Mint and this excursion.

Amman Citadel is definitely worth visiting, a great site and great views of Amman. It also leaves plenty of time to go to the Dead Sea, which really is unlike any body of water you have ever been to! We had a lovely driver for the day, Mohamad, who was polite, cheerful, punctual and was an excellent driver! He was helpful with everything and we enjoyed his good company very much - thanks for the coffees, Mohamad! We didn't prebook the resort at the Dead Sea, so Mohamad did it for us. :) We recommend R&H VIP Transportation services for this kind of day trip.

The tour was amazing. Hasan was very nice and even took me to the Baptism site in Jordan. He bought a delicious snack and water for me and made feel comfortable during the whole tour. The car was very clean, it had wifi, a place to charge your phone, and was very comfortable. I definitely recommend you to take this tour.

<p>Overall a really fun experience. My driver Bader was friendly, patient and nice! Definitely appreciated his service.</p> <p>The dead sea resort was gorgeous! I went during the low season, and got to share a well-managed private beach with only two other people. Keep in mind that will have to pay for the dead sea resort separately mentioned in the description. It was totally worth it!</p> <p>The only suggestion I would give is that the pre-tour communication can be better. The coordination emails did not seem as attentive. They can be more informative and friendly.</p>
Thanks for your support......... and we are looking forward to serving you again
<p>This tour was very short, and it's definitely worth organising your own accomodation for the Dead Sea, it just is a transfer to the site. Friendly driver but not what I expected.</p>
