Stay : Jordan in one week
As the main tourist sites are concentrated, you can envisage a discovery of Jordan in one week. This itinerary, a great classic, is proposed by many travel agencies. But it will leave you with a slight taste of bitterness, as you only spend one day in Petra and one night in Wadi Rum, two highly addictive places.

Continue to Madaba to see the mosaic map of Palestine. Finally, go to Kerak and its castle, but beware the last visit is at 4pm. Continue to Wadi Musa.
Day 4: Petra

After a short night's sleep, get up at the crack of dawn for a tour of Petra. The earlier you arrive, the more you'll escape the crowds. In one day, focus on the Main Trail, the Royal Tombs and climb by donkey to the Monastery, where the light is more flattering at the end of the day. If it's a good day, enjoy the Petra by Nightshow.

Dinner and night under the stars.
Day 6: Aqaba and the Red Sea
