Explore Jordan, a fascinating country full of historical and religious significance, great food, lots of adventure, and incredibly warm people. Many people think of only Petra when they think of Jordan but this small country is so much more!
Join a group of like minded women travelers as we traverse the country, exploring such places as Amman, Salt, Wadi Rum, Jerash, Petra and the Dead Sea. We will have a mix of culture, history, adventure, food & wine, and loads of fun!
This trip is a small group of only 10-15 women travelers with a full time host throughout the trip.
Fun Women Travel was founded with an understanding of the deep sense of community most women feel when in the company of like minded women.
Fun Women Travel Groups are for women who like to travel but may not always solo. Fun women travel with an open heart and a curious mind. Fun women leave unnecessary baggage behind. Fun women travel with a heart full of the company of like minded women travelers.
Fun Women Travel groups have partnered with women-owned or women-managed partners (or partners with a proven track record of empowering women) to create culturally immersive itineraries in interesting destinations. All trips are small (10-15 ladies), have at least one experience with women citizens in the destination, and have some fun experiences thrown in to push our boundaries just a little!

We will start our day with a visit to Jerash, the largest Roman ruins outside of Rome.
Jerash is a close second to Petra on the list of favorite destinations in Jordan and one of the best places to explore Roman civilization outside of Italy. Inhabited since the Bronze Age, Jerash is known for the ruins of the walled Greco-Roman settlement of Gerasa just outside the modern city. These include the 2nd-century Hadrian's Arch, the Corinthian columns of the Temple of Artemis and the huge Forum's oval colonnade. Don't forget to ask about the secret speaking spot when you are there.
In the afternoon, we will visit the lovely and authentic town of As Salt. The town was an important trading center during the Ottoman Empire and retains the sense of time in its beautiful architecture. As-Salt was recently named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
While there, we will walk the Harmony Trail which takes us to all of the important sites to see.
We will join a local woman who runs a home restaurant in As-Salt for lunch.
After returning to Amman, we will enjoy a lovely wine tasting and dinner on the Boulevard in downtown Amman. You will be pleasantly surprised at the award winning wines of Jordan!
Meals included: B, L, D
Today, we check out and say goodbye to our friends at the W Amman.
Today, we will start with a trip to Mount Nebo, the spiritual resting place of Moses and the celebration of three major religions. Religious or not, this place is a beautiful celebration of an iconic cultural figure as well as a place steeped in history and beauty.
From Mount Nebo, we will venture into the lovely town of Madaba where we will have lunch at one of my favorite family restaurants. Even George and Laura Bush rank it as one of their all-time favorites!
After filling ourselves with amazing food, we will make our way to the world famous (for good reason!) historic town of Petra.
We will check into the lovely 5* Old Village Hotel & Resort in the town of Petra.
We will share a dinner at the resort and then prepare for evening activities.
Be prepared for a magical evening as we experience Petra at night. Lit by hundreds of candles, we have the chance to experience this ancient city as it was long ago. This is a truly unforgettable and magical experience. There is nothing that can compare to this experience.
Meals included: B, L, D
Today, we will have a chance to experience all of the beauty and history that is Petra. For all you may have seen or read, nothing quite prepares you for the unbelievable majesty of this ancient city carved into the rocks.

Lunch is on your own. There are dining options in the city itself.
We can provide suggestions on where to explore during your free time in Petra.
After returning to the hotel, let's rest our feet and gather for a meal on the patio at our hotel before retiring after a most amazing day!

After breakfast, we will check out of Old Village.
Our first stop this mooning is at Little Petra. Often overlooked, Little Petra is another city carved into stone, a smaller version of its bigger sister.
More accessible in ways, have time to climb some stairs and imagine yourself as a Nubian in your Little Petra home!
Next, shake off that comfort zone and climb aboard a quad bike for a tour of the desert in Wadi Araba! Let's have some fun and travel like Fun Women do!

Next, let's kick off our shoes, wrap our heads in scarves, and hop onto jeeps for a magical jeep tour of Wadi Rum!

Another highlight of the Fun Women Travel Jordan tour, this is time to let your hair down and have fun barefoot in the sand!
Next, we are off to the Dead Sea, land of myth and history.
We will check in to the Movenpick Resort and Spa and have a lovely evening to breath in the extra oxygen found in this magical place.
