Planning a trip to Jordan
Pulled from the 2 routes below — so it says what these itineraries actually do, not what a brochure would.
When to go
Mar–May, Sep–Nov — the months these routes agree on.
How long you need
3–7 days. The shortest is Amman in 3 days: the Citadel, Jerash and the Dead Sea; the longest is Jordan in 7 days: Petra, Wadi Rum and the Dead Sea.
What it costs
≈ AED 400 to ≈ AED 500 per person per day, depending on the route. Beds, food, getting around and things to do — costed line by line in each guide, not estimated from a daily rate.
Entry on an Indian passport

3 days
Best for: A hill city with a Roman theatre in it, and two of the best day trips in the Levant
Amman in 3 days: the Citadel, Jerash and the Dead Sea
Citadel → downtown → Jerash → the Dead Sea
Amman in a day, Jerash in a morning, and the Dead Sea 1,200 metres below the city — plus the Jordan Pass, which waives your visa fee and pays for itself before you reach Petra.
-
7 days
Best for: History + desert
Jordan in 7 days: Petra, Wadi Rum and the Dead Sea
Amman → Dead Sea → Petra → Wadi Rum
The rose-red city carved by hand two thousand years ago, a Mars-red desert you sleep in, and a sea you cannot sink in — Jordan packs three wonders into a country the size of a UAE road trip, with the Jordan Pass trick that makes the visa free and Petra's real step-count told honestly.
