Day 2, Amman
/ Jerash
This morning we tour Amman, known in Biblical times as Rabbath
Ammon and under the Ptolemies as Philadelphia. Amman sits
still splendily on its traditional seven hills. We visit the
Roman Theater dating back to the 2nd Century AD. Nearby are
the ruins of the Citadel Hill and the Archaeological Museum,
Costume & Folklore Museum, Ashrafiah Mosque, King Hussein
sports city and bazaar. After lunch, we drive to Jerash, known
as the "Pompeii of the East" and is now the most
beautifully preserved Greek-Roman city. We see also the Grand
ruins, Temples of Artemis and Zeus, a vast Roman forum, Hadrian's
Triumphal Arch and a mile long street of columns then we drive
back to Amman for overnight. (BL)
Day 3, Petra
Today we visit Jordan's most exciting and adventurous travel
experience is this fascinating trip to Petra, hidden away
in the encircling craggy rock mountains south of the dead
sea. A three hour drive over the Desert Highway brings you
to this "Rose-Red City" half as old as time, carved
from living rock over 2,000 years ago by the Nabataeans. The
only entrance to the fortress City is through a long, narrow
passage. The sudden view of the Petra's most spectacular monument,
the treasury is a dramatic sight. Beyond the treasury lie
other unique monuments, carved right into the vari-coloured
mountains are the high place of sacrifice, the Monastery and
Roman styled palace tomb. Then we drive back to Amman for
overnight. (BL)
