Day 1 – Amman Hotels
Amman is one of the oldest cities in the world, so rest assured you will find many historical landmarks!
Amman is Jordan’s capital, meaning there will be countless historical sites and points of interest waiting for you to visit! Amman is also where you will most probably land and where you will be able to experience the real lifestyle of Jordanians living in the city, making it perfect for your first experience in Jordan!
Here are my recommendations on the best Jordan hotels in Amman:
Luxury (US$160 and up)
- InterContinental Amman Jordan – This is the hotel where I stayed for 2 nights in Amman, and I can recommend it! Intercontinental Amman Jordan is a gorgeous 5-star luxury IHG hotel with spacious rooms full of light, and it is very conveniently located! Plus, it is the oldest 5-star hotel in the country, and it has an incredible history! You can check the detailed review of this hotel in the article about my Jordan trip.

The House Boutique Suites is a 5-star hotel that has super nice amenities and facilities that you will feel like a superstar during your stay! This hotel has a great outdoor pool, a fitness center, and gorgeous rooms with air conditioning!
Middle-priced (US$60 – US$160)

Budget (up to US$60)
Amman is an excellent place for budget hotels as well, and here is my Amman hotels list:

Day 2 – Jerash Hotels
Jerash is a fantastic place to add to your Jordan itinerary, as you will see there the best preserved Roman ruins in the world! Although
I recommend you visit Jerash, there are not many hotel options so, at the end of the day, it is better to return to Amman (that is what I did), and it is only a 40-minute drive away!
However, if you really want to stay in Jerash longer and are looking for accommodation, here are a couple options you can check out, all of them are in the budget rate (I could not find places to stay in other price categories there):
- Moon Valley Site – Just 1.2 km away from Ruins of Jerash, this property offers clean rooms with private bathrooms and a friendly host that will help you in everything you’ll need!
- Full Panorama Apartment – Located just in front of the ruins, this property has comfortable, clean rooms, with a nice balcony.
- Hadrian’s Arch – This is a family owned guest house with incredible amenities like a barbecue area, a shared lounge and a cozy garden! Plus, it offers an airport shuttle at an additional price!

Day 3 – Wadi Rum Hotels
Wadi Rum, Jordan is an unforgettable dessert, and its name means “Valley of the Moon” in Arabic.
FUN FACT: “The Martian” and many other great movies were filmed there! No wonder why – this magical place looks exactly like Mars! Your day in Wadi Rum will be filled with adventures for sure!
Luxury (US$170 and up)
Please note that this is a desert in the middle of nowhere you won’t find any luxurious 5-star hotels or any Wadi Rum resort here. But do not worry, I have still found some great luxury recommendations for you:
- Memories Aicha Luxury Camp – This is my first recommendation for luxury travelers visiting Wadi Rum desert. This luxury camp is located only 700m away from Wadi Rum, Jordan and it features great accommodation options, barbecue facilities, a garden, a terrace, and even a restaurant! You will also benefit from private bathrooms with showers. What more can you wish for?!
- Wadi Rum Bedouin – The perfect choice if you are searching for the best comfort in the middle of the desert. This Wadi Rum luxury camp is actually made of tents, and each one of them has a private terrace that offers a terrific view over the colorful desert! I suggest you book your stay in their luxury camping tent called “Martial Tent” (not your traditional style) if you want to admire the stars at night for a fantastic experience!
Middle-priced (US$60 – US$170)
- Rum Magic Nights – This was my choice and a great middle-priced hotel! This is a camp located right in the heart of Wadi Rum, Jordan! The rooms might be a bit simple, but perfect for a good night’s sleep! The tented camp offers a continental or buffet breakfast as well!

In case you are wondering where to stay in Wadi Rum on a budget, here are some amazing choices that I have chosen for you:

Day 4 – Petra / Wadi Musa Hotels
Petra also goes by the name the “Red Rose City,” from the pink color of the stone that the Nabateans carved to build the city.
Petra is the most popular destination in Jordan! The ancient city got super popular after the “Indiana Jones” movie, and it is actually one of the New 7 Wonders of the World! These are only a few reasons you should visit Petra, Jordan!
There are many Jordan tours and day trips in Petra, so I will definitely recommend this magnificent city to all visiting Jordan. Wadi Musa is the closest town to the archaeological site of Petra, so I recommend you spend your night there after the 4th day of our itinerary.
If you want to find hotels in Petra and Wadi Musa, here is my selection of the best options:
Luxury (US$200 and up)
- Mövenpick Resort Petra – This is one of the best luxury choices if you are searching for Jordan accommodation in Petra! Movenpick Resort Petra awaits you with super clean rooms; the staff and hotel manager are super friendly, and quality service! Plus, I promise that the rooftop will leave you speechless! I stayed in this hotel, and it is the only one that is located right in front of Petra’s entrance. We were also upgraded free of charge, so I can’t recommend it enough. A must in your Jordan Trip!
- Marriott Petra Hotel – A stunning 5-star hotel with great value for money! This hotel offers high-quality services for great prices, but you should keep in mind that this hotel is located 2,3 km away from Petra. But the views are definitely worth it!
- P Quattro Relax Hotel – Another 4-star hotel located only 1.9km from the Petra entrance! During your stay, you will benefit from free Wi-Fi, a hot tub, flat-screen TVs, and all the other amenities you will need for a luxury stay!
Middle-priced (US$75 – US$200)
- Petra Hear Hotel – Located super close to the archaeological site of Petra (only 1.2 km away!) These rooms are super cozy and simple, I’m sure you will enjoy their on-site restaurant.
- Esperanza Petra – This is my second recommendation for travelers looking for a middle-priced hotel in this city. This hotel awaits you with gorgeously decorated rooms with a cozy atmosphere! The best part? It is located within walking distance of the Petra entrance!
- Moses Residence – My last middle-priced recommendation for Petra. This boutique hotel is definitely worth checking out because its rooms are super comfortable with a great ensuite bathroom and continental breakfast served daily!

- Town Season Hotel – A fantastic budget hotel with great value for money. It has a terrace, and a cozy shared lounge and it is only 1,5 km away from Petra, Jordan! The tour desk can even help you plan your day of exploring Petra!
- Petra Cabin Inn – If you don’t want to book a room in one of the above Petra hotels, another great choice would be to stay in a hostel, especially if you are traveling in a group of 2 to 4 people! This wonderful hotel features a restaurant, and a bar, and the staff are super friendly!
Day 5 – Dead Sea Resorts / Sowayma Hotels
The Dead Sea is the lowest point in the world! And let me tell you, if you have open cuts or are freshly shaved, you will have a tough time since the salt WILL sting!
The Dead Sea in Jordan is called this because it is so salty that fish cannot live there! But there is a good part in this, too: the high concentration of salt will help you float like a mermaid in a once-in-a-lifetime-experience! Plus, the mud has healing powders, and you can use it has a face and/or body mask.
If you want to add this destination to your Jordan itinerary and you are searching for great hotels in Jordan near the Dead Sea, you must know that Sowayma is the closest city to the sea, so I recommend you book a room in this city for the night.
Here are selected hotels in Jordan near the Dead Sea on the Jordanian part:
Luxury (US$180 and up)
- Crowne Plaza Jordan Dead Sea Resort & Spa – This is the hotel where I stayed near the Dead Sea, Jordan, and I can definitely recommend it for your stay as well! This wonderful 5-star resort awaits you with great service, a stunning outdoor pool, a gym, and a great on-site restaurant! Plus, the balconies have such a fantastic view over the Dead Sea!
- Kempinski Hotel Ishtar Dead Sea – One of the best luxury hotels in Jordan, and it definitely deserves your attention! Kempinski Hotel Ishtar Dead Sea is a world-class accommodation with some amazing tree-lined outdoor pools which offer a stunning view over the Dead Sea! This 5-star boutique hotel has its own beach, and it even offers spa treatments with mud and sea salt!
- Mövenpick Resort – This is another great 5-star resort spa that awaits you with a private beach and a great fitness center. The rooms are decorated in a gorgeous way, and some of them even have spacious terraces with dramatic landscape views of the Dead Sea! This is definitely a great Dead Sea spa hotel!
Middle-priced (US$60 – US$180)
- Russian Pilgrim Residence – Believe it or not, I am not recommending this hotel because I am Russian! It is really the best hotel with great value for money and fabulous reviews! This residence has a great location, and staying there won’t make you break the bank!
- Marriott Dead Sea Resort & Spa – Another amazing option and one of the greatest Dead Sea hotels in Jordan, which awaits you with beautiful, crystal-clean rooms! All the rooms are air-conditioned, and some of them even feature an unforgettable view over the Dead Sea. Plus, it is located only 3-minutes away from the beach!
- Ma’in Hot Springs Resort – This is definitely worth considering, as it features an incredible pool and spa right under a natural hot spring waterfall! This is one of the most beautiful Dead Sea resorts, which has an outdoor pool and a great spa. Note that it is rated a little lower than we would normally recommend, however I believe that it is mostly because its location is a little further away, around 30 minutes by car from the Sea, so you will need a car if you want to visit it.
Budget (up to US$60)
Unfortunately, many hotels are in this area are only in the luxury side, and there are no budget options for Sowayma, so if you are traveling on a tight budget or looking to save money on your stay, and you are searching for a good Dead Sea hotel, you will have to find hotels in Madaba, Jordan for the night.
Madaba is close to the Dead Sea as well (30 km).
- Rumman Hotel – This is another great choice for Madaba. This is a super clean and cozy hotel and a family-run business. You will stay in one of the 22 gorgeous guest rooms, each of them equipped with a private bathroom!
- Tell Madaba Hotel – The best hotel option for those on a budget with simple but comfortable rooms! Every room has a private bathroom for your convenience and at a reasonable price!
- Black Iris Hotel – With amazing reviews and super friendly staff, this is another great choice. Plus, the breakfast is really delicious, and you can choose from vegetarian or continental options!

Day 6 – Madaba and Amman Airport Hotels
This is the last day of my standard Jordan itinerary. If you want to prolong your trip, you can book a room overnight in Madaba or even better, in Amman again.
If you have an evening flight, I recommend you go back to the airport, which is located close to Madaba (32 km away). In case you have a flight in the early morning the next day, my recommendation is to book a room at an airport hotel or in Madaba, Jordan.
Here are my recommendations:
- Mount Nebo Hotel – A very scenic and beautiful hotel located 19 km from the airport. The hotel has an airport shuttle that you can use, and I am sure you will be impressed by the scenic view offered by its strategic location!

FAQs about Jordan hotels
📅 How many days do I need in Jordan?
I think 6 days in Jordan is more than enough time to visit all the beauty the country has to offer, but if you do not have that much time, in 3 or 4 days I’m sure you will be able to explore most of Jordan’s landmarks.
☀️ What is the best time to visit Jordan?
I recommend traveling either in spring (March to May) or autumn (September to November), since the summer months can be challenging due to the high temperatures that rise up to 40°F in some areas of Jordan.

Wadi Musa is the closest town to the ancient city. Mövenpick Resort Petra and Tetra Tree Hotel are amazing options to stay near Petra.

There are plenty of ways to move around Jordan. Public transport is available but there are also day trips from Amman to Petra, but the most convenient way to travel through Jordan is by renting a car!
