Hidden Treasures Of Jordan

Tripcode: AXE

Adult Group Holidays Leisurely Special Interest Culture

Explore archaeological highlights with a knowledgeable local leader

The red-rose Nabatean city of Petra

A one-week visit to Jordan is enough to take in its world famous historical monuments, such as Petra and Jerash, but 12 days is ideal to truly appreciate the breathtaking desert scenery and explore less well-knows historic and archaeological treasures.

This small and beautiful country contains a remarkable number of ancient sites, often amazingly well-preserved, dating from the Neolithic through to late antiquity, many with incomparable settings.

This itinerary includes visits to several of these sites as well as offering the opportunity to see the beautiful desert landscape of Wadi Rum and snorkel in the Red Sea, ensuring enough time to relax and unwind as well as explore.

What makes this trip responsible?

Our small group sizes ensure that we limit our impact on the places we visit. Throughout our visit we support the economy of small villages and communities that we pass through, using their smaller restaurants, traders and shops.
