The journey
Explore Jordan's ancient sights and lost cities on an eight-day journey from Amman, with time in Jerash, Madaba, Mt. Nebo, Karak, Petra, Wadi Rum, Aqaba, and the Dead Sea. Discover Petra's fascinating history and thrilling beauty, overnight in a Bedouin tent, and dine amid the dramatic desert scenery of Wadi Rum. You will also have the chance to relax in the therapeutic waters of the Dead Sea. This trip is ideal for travellers who are short on time but still want to soak up the colours, culture, and history of a country that is small in size but big on adventure.
Wind your way through the Siq, a narrow, 1 km-long (.6 mi) gorge flanked by soaring 80 m-high (262 ft) sandstone walls, and take in the astounding colours and patterns of the rock.
