Welcome to Jordan!

You will be met on arrival at Queen Alia International Airport or the borders.

Then we will visit the mosque and Byzantium ruins at the Cave of the Seven Sleepers near Amman.

After breakfast at our hotel we drive towards Salt and visit the Shrine of Prophet Shuieb and the Shrine of Prophet Yousha.

We will continue into the Jordan Valley to visit the tombs of some of Prophet Mohammad's venerable companions and military leaders: the tomb of Dirar bin Al Azwar a poet and fierce warrior who loved combat and who fought in the wars of Apostasy and took part in the conquest of Greater Syria before falling victim of the Great Plague.

The tomb and mosque of Abu Ubeida Amer bin Al Jarrah, a relative of the Prophet dubbed 'The Trustee of the Nation' who was one of the first converts to Islam.

The Supreme Commander of the Northern Muslim Army that conquered Greater Syria and one of the 'Blessed Ten' promised Paradise; the tomb of the venerable companion Shurahbil bin Hasanah.

He was famous for his strong faith, intelligence, bravery, and successful administration who participated in the Battle of Yarmouk and the conquest of Jerusalem and who distinguished himself for his fair dealings with subordinates whilst governor of the province of Greater Syria.

We will also visit the tomb of Amir bin Ab Waqqas, the maternal cousin of the Prophet who was the eleventh man to convert to Islam and who fought in the Battle of Uhud and was later entrusted with carrying messages from the commanders of the Muslim army to the Caliph in Medina.

Leaving the Jordan valley we travel to the Yarmouk River, site of the great Al Yarmouk battle where the Muslim Arabs under the leadership of Abu Aubaidah Amer Ben Al Jarrah defeated the Byzantine Empire in 636.

We will continue to Pella (Taqabat Fahl) to enter the small mosque which commemorates the Battle of Fahl fought between the Rashidun army under Kalid ibn al-Walid (The Sword of Allah) and the Roman Empire under Theodore the Sacellarius in January 635 AD and which resulted in a clear victory for Khaled ibn Al Walid.

We will drive back to the borders or the airport with a farewell for departure.
