The Ancient Kingdom of Jordan

Chauffeur-driven Cultural Tour | 10 days

An ancient land, yet a modern kingdom. First head north to Jerash, founded in 300 BC, for a unique city tour. Overnight at the Dead Sea, then follow the 5,000 year old King’s Highway, via Madeba and Mt. Nebo, burial place of Moses, to the crusader castle at Kerak. These archaeological treasures are just a prelude to the awe inspiring tour of the rose red city of Petra, before continuing south for a night in a Bedouin camp in the desert at Wadi Rum with a four wheel drive desert safari. End your holiday at the Red Sea resort of Aqaba.
