Itinerary
Start this private tour with a panoramic visit of the capital of Jordan, Amman. Begin from the ancient area with a view point from the Citadel and continue to downtown streets and local markets passing its churches and mosques, as well as by the Roman Theater, and the Rainbow Street.
Then, proceed to the new modern Amman for a sightseeing tour of the white architecture that the city is well known for. Continue to visit the mosaic city of Madaba. The most popular and well known is the ancient mosaic map of Jordan and the Holy Land in the 6th century found at the Saint George Orthodox Church, marked with the points of interest of some historical stories recorded in the Bible.
Proceed to the open-air museum known as the Archaeological Park, which houses a collection of ruins and mosaics like the Church of Virgin Mary and other floor house mosaics.
Visit the historic Catholic Church of Saint John the Baptist, with its beautiful Bell Tower for a breath-taking view of Madaba. Visit its underground museum memorial of Saint John the Baptist. Free time to explore a mosaic workshop, if interested.
Then climb up Mount Nebo where Prophet Moses is said to have died. Enjoy the view of the Holy Land and the Jordan Valley, and visit the mosaics and ancient relics found inside the Mount Nebo Franciscan Church.
Drive to the lowest point on earth for free time to swim in the therapeutic waters of the Dead Sea for an experience not to be missed, as it the first world’s natural spa! After this long day end the tour with a return to your hotel in Amman.

Basel was amazing and made sure we understood every step.of the way. Even better, he was entirely flexible with our wants and needs. Thank you for a wonderful day!
Our driver, Jesus, was waiting for us at the airport and did an amazing job. This one-day tour is quick and allows you to see many sights when you are limited on time. Jesus was very professional and spoke excellent English. I most appreciated the advice and insight Jesus provided. On a personal note - my girls left an Apple tablet in the vehicle after our tour. I called Jesus, and he drove 2 hours round trip to bring the table back to us at 10 pm. We were so incredibly appreciative of this amazing kindness. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you
This tour was great and our guide and driver, Basel, was wonderful. He was so kind and full of information. He was able to answer any questions we had and kept us updated on the itinerary. We started out with Amman sightseeing, went to Madaba and saw mosaics, ate a great lunch, saw the Promised Land at Mt. Nebo and floated in the Dead Sea. It was just an amazing day! Highly recommend this tour.
The tour was great. The pick up was done as scheduled. The driver arrived on time and was very helpful The car was very comfortable. I highly recommend this private tour is the most comfortable and efficient way to travel. The dead sea experience was excellent. Lunch buffet was done at the dead sea hotel. Keep up the good work.
It was a great pleasure having Basel Mousa as my driver and a tour guide. It was fun and have learnt so much about Jordan and it’s rich history. I have truly enjoyed the experience and having Basel who can speak English better than me is a bonus!!
The tour guider Mahmoud Issa is very experienced and kind. By chat with him I leaned more culture of Jordan.
We had a terrific time with Mahmoud visiting Madaba, Mt Nebo and Amman. He was professional and courteous. He drove us in his very comfortable 4 door sedan equipped with refreshments and snacks. We esp LOVED visiting a family farm selling vegetables roadside which was a nice added touch to our itinerary; it was so enjoyable meeting a local family and they even invited us for a lovely cup of tea!
Our tour guide Khaled was brilliant and made our trip from start to finish. He was friendly welcoming and knowledgeable. You have a solid amount of time down at the dead sea before heading towards Mount Nebo and the stunning mosaics at the resting place of Moses. It was a full packed day but I would recommend in a heart beat. 100% recommend! Thank you Khaled for making our trip so unforgettable! It wouldn't have been the experience that it was if we didn't have you :)
Great guide Firaz on this trip. Very please with his service and recomendations. Nice visit to hotel near dead sea
I have a wonderful driver, called Basel Mousa, he did a great job and share a lot of interesting facts about Amman, Mount Nebo, Madaba city Mosaics and the Dead Sea. He give me all the time I need to visit the Mosaic workshop and to swim in the Dead Sea. Afterwards we have lunch and return to Amman. He was on time to pick me up at the Hotel and was very friendly and helpful. I have a lot of questions about where to shop for what, and he could give me good advise. THANK YOU BASEL FOR GOING THE EXTRA MILE FOR ME. I am sure the tourist who will get you as driver will he as happy as I was. I hope when I return to Jordan in the future, I will so lucky to get you as driver again. Kind regards, Lientjie from Namibia
I enjoyed Mt. Nebo and learning more about Moses. The Madaba mosaic was breathtaking. The Dead Sea was also incredible.
Amazing well organized trip by Hasan from Zaid. Everything was excellent, kind, helpful, nice and pleasant. For us making inolvidable memories
My driver Basil was very kind and knowledgeable. He went out of his way to make my experience special and made sure I got the most out of the day. As a solo female traveller, he made me feel safe and at ease. He has a genuine passion about his country and this was felt. A lovely day!
My family enjoyed the trip thoroughly. Our tour guide was very friendly and made sure that we enjoyed our tour. My 2 year old loved swimming in the resort since there were few water slides as well. Highly recommended if you are staying in Amman, since it covers almost all the attractions close by.
It was a smooth and overall enjoyable tour. The driver negotiated a few challenging bends throughout the journey and shared some invaluable insights of Jordan and key industries.
The tour was outstanding. Mahmoud is an exceptional tour guide. I want to do it again. The schedule was perfect, and everything was perfectly timed. There are so many other good things to say about the tour. If you take the tour you won't be disappointed. I enjoyed every minute from pick up to drop off.
No issues with the tour operator. They were organized well enough. This tour simply is not interesting enough to recommend and the dead sea experience (at a deserted, run down hotel), was not nearly as good as the experience I had on the Israel side. A guide is needed for the Madaba map to help explain it...but one was not available at the Church. Could not see anything on top of Mount Nebo. This said, if this is your only opportunity to swim in the dead sea, you should do this as that is a very unique experience....better to do from Israel in my experience.
If you don't want to spend the entire day at the Dead Sea and want to see other highlights of Jordan, this tour is for you. My driver was great and flexible with what I wanted to see on this tour or where to take pictures. You'll visit the Amman Beach at the Dead Sea. The beach has come great views and provides facilities to change clothes and shower. There's also a restaurant at the beach if you're hungry.
<p>Our driver, Amer from Zaid Tours, was the same as the previous day. Because we had the chance to talk with him about our schedule, we were able to fit in additional stops that we wouldn't have known about otherwise. We enjoyed the tour and learning about this historically significant part of Jordan. Swimming in the Dead Sea was really something else! I suggest trying to use the same driver each day if you can. On our final day, rather than just waste time before going to the airport, Amer agreed to pick us up early to see additional sites around Amman that we hadn't planned in advance. His efforts on behalf of Zaid Tours went above and beyond normal expectations.</p>
<p>Very good tour! perfect for half day tour from Amman with sufficient time at the sites in Nebo and Madaba.</p>
<p>excellent! It is very educational and well organized. My guide is very friendly and told me a lot of information.</p>
<p>This one is excellent.Muneer our driver was a gentleman who coule converse well and also take us to the right spot...Brilliant go for it</p>
<p>The private tour was just as described. It was amazing. The driver was at the hotel to pick me up on time and drove me to all the sites mentioned. The Greek Orthodox church in Madaba was really interesting with a lot of history and mosaics. The views from Mount Nebo were really cool and floating in the Dead sea was just incredible.</p>
<p>The local tour guide is awesome!!! Well planning and time management in photo-shooting and not even asking for a single tips!</p>
<p>My driver/ guide Shadi picked me up at 9am from my hotel. Drove by the Citadel and theater on the way to Madaba, then Mount Nebo and the Dead sea. Shadi was a very good driver. Always felt safe. Really enjoyed my visit to Jordan. Thank you Shadi.</p>
<p>Immense history!<br/> Madaba was a nice start with the old mosiac map<br/> Mount Nebo was peaceful however the place of worship was closed for renovation which was a shame and we felt that they could have done more to celebrate this site <br/> Paid extra to see Jesus Baptist site as nearby which was incredible, good local tour guide <br/> Floating in the Dead sea was a great experience, highly recommended</p>
<p>Great experience!! our driver, Ehsam, was great and took us many places for us to see. Jordanian people are very warm and welcoming. Remeber to take bathing suit and flip flops for the dead sea!</p>
<p>A pretty good tour. Madaba and Mount Nebo were worth seeing but swimming in the dead sea was definitely the highlight - even though it was winter.</p>
<p>Our tour driver Muneer was great. He was very informative, punctual and always asked us what we wish to do and was flexible to accommodate our requests. Thanks Muneer for making our tour interesting, pleasant and safe. Shoukran my friend.</p>
<p>Excellent overall, impressive bliblical sites, highly professional driver/guide.</p>
<p>If you manage to get Shaadi you will have a great day, we were also lucky with the weather that day but unfortunately Red sea was too choppy and windy to fully experience the floating experience. Also note that this is a local beach that they take you too, you will be surrounded by conservative locals, not the time to break out your bikini! The beach is not that great, the Israel side of the Red Sea is much prettier and do not expect to get free mud, you have to buy it! Madaba and Mount Nebo are nice to view the sights of Jordan with a Christian background but that's about it</p>
<p>Madaba and Mount Nebo was basic. The Dead Sea was the main attraction. I did not bring my bathing suit to Jordan but at the Dead Sea resort there were many available for a great price. The change lockers are great and very clean....remember to bring flip flops to wear.</p>
You see many bits of the Holy Land on this trip and end up floating in the Dead Sea. Modaba is in particularly lovely Jordanian town so spend some time there!
The driver picked us up on time. He was most pleasant and helpful. He let us choose how much time we wanted to spend in each location so long as the tour finished by the stated time. Unfortunately the Dead Sea beach club was quite dated and the facilities were poor. The food wasn't appealing either. However, a great tour if you want to see some of Jordan's key sites.
The tour was well organized. The driver was on time and spoke excellent English. This was a significant benefit for us.
The church at Madaba with the mosaic map was incredible, as was the swimming in the Dead Sea. Awesome!!!
This was one of the best trips I have ever had. I travelled alone but enjoyed it a lot. Jordan is a great country and Jordanian hospitality is amazing.Before I left I read a lot about Jordan, culture, dress code and habits. I learnt some Arabic phrases and numbers which was much appreciated by Jordanians. I booked 2 trips with Viator and both were great! I saw a breath taking view from the top of Mount Nebo and enjoyed swimming in the Dead Sea. You cannot miss it! This is so much fun. What really made my day, was the driver who was a great companion through the whole tour, very professional, patient answering my questions and with a great attitude towards the tourists. I would definitely recommend this trip to everyone. Remember that apart from Petra, there are other beautiful places in Jordan - the more you see, the better you get to know this country, its people and culture. Shukran thank you in Arabic to Viator and local travel agency.
It was a unique experience. Our driver Isa was an excellent guide from the beginning with an Arabic coffee and errands with a typical poster. He took us to the agreed Linares but with great patience, selecting good places for photos. He did not force us to go to shopping places, only when we were interested. I recommend it to you
Lo mejor fue lo que aprendimos de Ziad (no sé si lo escribí bien). Una gran persona, su español es perfecto y nos aclaro todas nuestras inquietudes sobre la maravillosa cultura árabe y jordana. Nos cambio toda la perspectiva que teníamos sobre el Islam. Quedamos encantados con el. Sin duda lo recomiendo 100%. El tour también estuvo muy bien planeado, con los tiempos justos y en el mar muerto hubo bastante tiempo para disfrutar y almorzar. Muchas gracias Ziad por hacer que se nos fuera volando el rato.
No lo hicimos Habíamos pedido un guía en español y esto estaba confirmado en el voucher, vino un conductor que no hablaba español y no era guía Llamamos a la oficina de Zaid y nos ofrecieron un refund que aceptamos Pero luego no quisieron hacerlo, alegando una cancelación fuera de hora Esto no es cierto, nunca cancelamos, nos ofrecieron refund y aceptamos Ahora esperando refund pero sin novedades
Superbe journée avec Baseel! Il était super sympathique et très à l'écoute. De plus, il parle très bien l'anglais! Durant les trajets, il nous a un peu parlé de l'histoire de la Jordanie, de la vie, de la culture etc. Je recommande vraiment cette activité!
Návšteva týchto 3 miest je veľmi zaujímavá a časovo nenáročná z Ammanu. My sme využili ponuku hotela a zaplatili si auto so šofěrom, ktorý hovoril veľmi dobre anglicky a bol nám k dispozícii po celý čas. Ocenili sme jeho znalosť miestnych pomerov a ochotu poradiť nám. V rámci tohto výletu sme ešte doplnili aj návštevu Baptism Site pri rieke Jordan. Tu je možné ísť z parkoviska iba so sprievodcom mikrobusom, nakoľko je to vojenské územie. Vstupné je možné mať so zľavou pri dokúpení k Jordan passu, Keďže kúpanie pri Mŕtvom mori je lepšie absolvovať v nejakom rezorte, kde súčasťou sú osušky, lehátka, sprchy a podobne, náš sprievodca nám odporúčal Ramada resort, kde súčastou vstupu bol aj obed.
