Tripcode: MXW

One week cycling through fantastic desert scenery, plus Petra and Madaba

The Kingdom of Jordan is an ideal destination for a one-week break. It includes one of the most spectacular wonders in the world - the 'Rose-red city' of Petra - and the ancient sites of Madaba and Mount Nebo. Away from the temples and monuments we ride through quiet villages and ancient olive groves, and meet the extraordinary Bedouin people, whose hospitality has quenched many a desert explorer's thirst. There is also the opportunity to float in the Dead Sea and snorkel in the Red Sea, ensuring that there is time to relax and unwind as well as explore. Most relaxing of all is the night spent in Wadi Rum, the former headquarters of Lawrence of Arabia. Here the solitude, the majestic desert scenery and incredible night skies, ensure a memorable evening of star gazing.
