Near Amman you’ll savour the magical atmosphere of Roman Jerash, before heading to the lowest point on Earth to float in the saline waters of the Dead Sea. Pausing at Kerak – a key staging post for the Crusaders – you head into Dana Nature Reserve.
The mountains and desert of Jordan radiate a wild and desolate beauty all of their own. It is these sun-baked wadis and giant granite crags that Lawrence describes in his 'Seven Pillars of Wisdom' - the rock-hewn city of Petra, the sandy defile of Wadi Rum and ancient Jerash. We also have time to enjoy the Red Sea.
Jordan is a country rich in archaeological treasures, with fantastic scenery and hospitable people. Some of its sights such as Petra and Wadi Rum have become deservedly world-famous, while other areas are less well known but no less intriguing.
Petra, the major draw of Jordan, is a well-documented marvel which never disappoints. No matter how many images you’ve seen of the city in films and photographs, nothing compares to the first glimpse of the Treasury Tomb as you exit the Siq canyon. However, Jordan has much more to offer, and this tour aims to showcase most of it.
Jordan is an ideal destination for a one-week break. It includes the spectacular 'Rose-red city' of Petra and one of the best preserved Roman cities in the Middle East, Jerash. It is also home to some fabulous scenery in the desert at Wadi Rum, where we take a 4WD excursion into the more remote regions and camp out like the Bedouin.

This trip is perfect for those who are short on time, but want to see the magnificent site of Petra, as it can be done over a long weekend with just two days out of the office. Petra is on everyone's "must-see" list, and quite rightly so as it is one of the most impressive monuments anywhere in the world.
