Petra - Wadi Rum
Jordan blends ancient history with dramatic landscapes. The main destination on this highlight trip to Jordan is Petra, listed as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World and a UNESCO World Heritage site.
In Petra, walk through the Siq, a narrow gorge, with towering cliffs. This is the dramatic entrance to the ancient city of Petra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site leading to the Treasury, made world-famous by Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Further through the valley are the vast rock-carved Royal Tombs and Monastery.
On the ancient 'Spice Route' The Treasury as well as other buildings on the site was built in the 1st century AD and was lost to the outside world for centuries until its rediscovery in 1812, hidden deep within the rose-red cliffs
After exploring Petra, head south to the surreal Wadi Rum located to the dramatic desert scenery. Here, you will camp under some of the world’s most brilliant night skies, surrounded by crimson sands and towering sandstone mountains.
If time permits for a longer stay in Jordan, we suggest visiting Mt. Nebo, the celebrated site where it is said that Moses first overlooked the Promised Land, the ruins of Jerash and float in the Dead Sea.
