Key Highlights of the Holy Land Tour
Amman City Tour (Citadel & Theatre)
Amman, the capital of Jordan, is a city that beautifully combines ancient history with modern charm. Known as the ancient city of Philadelphia, Amman is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. A visit to the Citadel introduces you to its historical significance, with remnants from the Roman, Byzantine, and Islamic eras. Explore the ruins of the Temple of Hercules, the Umayyad Palace, and an archaeological museum that houses artifacts spanning thousands of years. The Roman Theatre, a 6,000-seat amphitheater built during the 2nd century AD, is a stunning example of Roman engineering and an iconic landmark in the city. Amman offers an immersive experience into Jordan’s history and cultural richness.
Mu’tah – Petra – Amman
The journey to Mu’tah is deeply spiritual, as this was the site of the historic Battle of Mu’tah (629 CE), where the Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) companions—Zaid bin Harithah, Ja’far bin Abi Talib, and Abdullah bin Rawahah—were martyred. Their tombs in Al-Mazar Al-Janubi are visited by Muslims from all over the world to honor their sacrifices.
Next, explore the world-renowned ancient city of Petra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. This city, carved into rose-red rock by the Nabataeans, was a vital trade hub over 2,000 years ago. Walk through the iconic Siq, a narrow gorge that leads to Al-Khazneh (The Treasury), and marvel at its stunning architecture. Petra’s rock-cut tombs, temples, and the grand Ad-Deir Monastery will leave you in awe. After exploring Petra, return to Amman to relax and reflect on the spiritual and historical experiences of the day
Old City & Masjid Al-Aqsa (Dome of Al-Khader, Dome of Al-Mi’raj, Dome of Suleiman, Dome of Yusuf)

Seven Sleepers Cave
Located near Amman, the Cave of the Seven Sleepers (Ashab Al-Kahf) holds a special place in Islamic history. Mentioned in Surah Al-Kahf in the Quran, this cave is believed to be where a group of pious youths sought refuge from a tyrannical ruler. They miraculously slept for centuries, waking up as a testament to Allah’s divine power. The site remains a popular destination for Muslims, providing a space for reflection and faith.
Jordan Valley Shrines
The Jordan Valley is home to significant Islamic shrines, including the tombs of Abu Ubaida ibn al-Jarrah, a companion of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and a commander during the Islamic conquests, and Mu’adh ibn Jabal, known for his profound knowledge of the Quran. These shrines are deeply spiritual and highlight the sacrifices made by early Muslims to spread the message of Islam. The serene setting of the Jordan Valley enhances the emotional and spiritual connection visitors feel while exploring this sacred region.
Arrival & Departure from Allenby Bridge
The Allenby Bridge, also known as the King Hussein Bridge, serves as the gateway between Jordan and the Holy Land. Your journey begins with a smooth transition through immigration upon arrival and ends with your departure from this historic crossing. It is a symbolic bridge that connects two significant regions of Islamic and historical importance.
Jericho (Nabi Mousa)
Jericho, known as the “Green Oasis,” is the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world. The highlight of Jericho is the Maqam of Nabi Mousa (Prophet Moses), a sacred shrine where it is believed that Prophet Musa (peace be upon him) is buried. The surrounding desert landscapes and serene environment make this a deeply spiritual destination, perfect for contemplation and prayer.
Holy Maqams: Salman Al-Farsi & Rabia Al-Adawiyya
These maqams (shrines) honor two revered figures in Islamic history. Salman Al-Farsi, a companion of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), symbolizes wisdom, devotion, and the pursuit of truth. Rabia Al-Adawiyya, a Sufi saint, is known for her piety and unconditional love for Allah. Visiting their shrines offers an opportunity to reflect on their teachings and connect with their spiritual legacy.
Mount of Olives
The Mount of Olives, overlooking Jerusalem, provides a breathtaking panoramic view of the Old City and Masjid Al-Aqsa. This sacred hill is mentioned in both Islamic and Christian traditions and serves as a serene spot for reflection. Its location allows visitors to appreciate the spiritual and historical significance of Jerusalem.
Hebron (Ibrahimi Mosque)
Hebron, or Al-Khalil, is a sacred city known for the Ibrahimi Mosque (Cave of the Patriarchs). This mosque is the burial site of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham), Prophet Ishaq (Isaac), Prophet Yaqub (Jacob), and their wives. A visit here allows you to pay respects to these great Prophets and reflect on their role in shaping Islamic history.
