Jordan – Petra & the Dead Sea

Gaze wide-eyed at one of the seven new world wonders, drive stunning desert highways, and experience the lowest spot on Earth.

Petra

Floating in the Dead Sea

Join this remarkable escorted tour to the friendly, welcoming Kingdom of Jordan. Discover Amman’s mix of ancient and ultra-modern, and enjoy a roll call of once-in-a-lifetime experiences, from awe-inspiring sights, including Jerash’s Roman remains and astonishing, breathtaking ‘Rose City’ Petra, to some true wonders of nature, nestled amongst a pristine desert landscape. Fly to Amman, built amongst desert hills and mixing every modern amenity with the occasional remnant of the past. Settle into your hotel and enjoy some time in this friendly city before a fascinating excursion to the remarkably well-preserved Roman city of Jerash, its great Hippodrome, theatres, plazas, streets and baths recovered from the sand over the last 80 years. Known as the ‘Pompeii of the East’, the former Decapolis was once one of the Middle East’s most important Roman strongholds. You’ll take the fabled King’s Highway to Wadi Rum and then breathtaking Petra, where an unforgettable day awaits, before you crown an unforgettable holiday with a stay on the shores of the mysterious Dead Sea, where warm, health-giving waters add to the enjoyment of a spectacular trip.

Due to a layer of hard crystals covering the shoreline and the bottom of the Dead Sea, it’s a good idea to wear water shoes or flip-flops.
