About this activity
The 'Must See Holy Sites of Jordan' combining sites of the Old and the New Testament is a perfect tour to capture the most important sites in the Kingdom and an experience that exceeds all expectations. Prior to your arrival to Jordan, your Jordan representative must have your flight details to prepare for your flight arrival, departure, and tour. The tour will either start, day 1 and end day 3, or start day 2 and end day 4, determined by your flight arrival and departure to Amman. Once you land to Queen Alia Airport and complete passport control and baggage pick up, your fdriver will be waiting at the arrival area, after baggage claim, with your name on a sign to take you to either your hotel in Amman or start your Mosaic Tour. Your 4 star hotel located in the capital will be your focal point to start and end your Holy Papal Tour with a breakfast served from days 2 to 4 and an evening dinner on days 1 to 3. Our Tour is flexible and the day tours can be interchangeable.
