Monday, January 22, Day 4: Petra

This morning, we drive along the King’s Highway, one of the oldest roads in the world, to the ancient city of Petra, a site on almost everyone’s bucket list. The so-called red-rose city, carved into a mountain, has entranced travelers for thousands of years. Here is our opportunity to be Indiana Jones for a day and explore the great mysteries of this fantastic site. Known as one of the new ‘seven wonders of the world,’ this archaeological city sits within 80-meter-high cliff walls. The iconic Treasury, carved into the face of one of these cliffs, is the highlight of this visit. We return to our hotel at the Dead Sea late in the afternoon. Mass will be celebrated. (B, D)

Tuesday, January 23, Day 5: Jordan – Israel Crossing – Jerusalem

Following this morning’s buffet breakfast, we check out of our hotel. Then transfer to the Allen-by bridge, where we say goodbye to our Jordanian guide and driver and take our luggage across the border into Israel. On the Israeli side, we are met by our driver and assisted onto the bus for a transfer to Jerusalem, where we meet up with the rest of our group and begin the Holy Land part of our pilgrimage. Mass will be celebrated. Dinner and overnight in Jerusalem. (B, D)
