10 Days Jordan Itinerary 🇯🇴 While many people visit Jordan only to see the famous Petra, Dead Sea and Wadi Rum in 4-5 days, I feel its a shame to ignore the other stunning places that this country has to offer. While the main highlights can be crammed in 7 days, 10 days itinerary will help you soak in the beauty of this country without being rushed.

𝐃𝐚𝐲 3: Visit 𝐉𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐡 ruins and spend half a day. 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐣𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐧 is another beautiful sight close to Jerash. Later drive to 𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐒𝐞𝐚 and enjoy "floating" and mud pack spa while watching the sunset.
