Project Description

Jordan

The centrepiece of this tour is a visit to the romantic ruins of the ancient city of Petra. The site is hidden in a secluded valley, entered via a narrow canyon that leads to the most famous tomb of all – “The Treasury”. There is plenty of time to explore the temples, theatre and tombs cut into the city’s sandstone cliffs. Also included are a one-night stay in the dramatic surroundings of Rainbow Camp in Wadi Rum, a visit to St George’s Church in Madaba to view its fascinating 6th century mosaic map and a feature stay at the sensational Kempinski Ishtar Dead Sea Hotel.
