We'll start our journey at the Jordanian Cultural Center, where you'll get a snapshot of Jordan's rich culture and heritage. Next, we'll explore the vibrant markets. Imagine the scents of spices, the colors of handmade crafts, the murmur of everyday life. If bargaining was a sport, this market would be the Olympics!

Next, we'll venture into Az Zarqā’s ancient heart by visiting the Roman Forum and Theatre. It'll make you feel like a gladiator entering the arena. (Just don't go picking any fights!)
In the afternoon, refuel with a delicious lunch before heading to our next spot, the Jabal al-Qal'a. This hilltop citadel promises panoramic views that will leave you speechless. And to add more magic to your day, how about we wrap up with dinner under the star-studded Jordanian sky?

After lunch, prepare for the most anticipated part of the journey as we travel to the ancient city of Jerash. Marvel at its Greco-Roman architecture while you roam its ancient streets. We'll end our journey with a farewell dinner at an authentic Jordanian restaurant.
