Do you have 9 days total in total or 9 days at your destination?

I had 12 days at Jordan/Israel back in 2011 and here was my itinerary:

Jordan
Based myself in Madaba (just outside the capital Amman but way more chill- there are some awesome mosaics here. Had 1 full day to see the town. 3 nights here)
1 daytrip to Jerash and back (Roman Ruins)
1 daytrip to Amman and back
1 day drive to Petra with stop in Karak Castle and the Dead Sea (hired a private driver)
2 days at Petra (you'll need both days)
1 day at Wadi Rum (overnight in the desert)

Israel
Crossed the border at Aqaba/Eilat and bused to Jerusalem (1 long ass day- Israeli border guards don't fuck around)
3 days in Jerusalem w/ a daytrip to Bethlehem
1 day Tel Aviv

All in all a bit rushed, but both countries are really small. If I were you and had 9 days I could probably cut out Amman and Jerash and trim a day off Jerusalem. But then if I only had 9 days I'd probably only stick to one country.
