Jerash guided tour

Jerash is a truly incredible site, extremely well preserved and with remains from Neolithic times, as well as Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Umayyad and others. As one of the best preserved cities of the Roman Empire, visited by Emperor Hadrian 129 AD, it’s possible to walk within the tracks of chariot wheels that are still visible in the paving stones.

Day 4

One night in ancient Petra

Spend a night in the rock-carved city of Petra – perhaps one of the most stunning and impressive ancient sites which one can visit anywhere in the world today. Walk through ravines, scale ancient steps and explore mesmerising ‘rooms’ and viewpoints on a guided tour of the highlights of the Nabatean city, which includes the stunning Treasury, theatre, tombs and the colonnaded street. While here, delve into the region’s culinary delights and learn to concoct your own Jordanian dishes during a private cooking class.

A magical night in Wadi Rum

A valley carved out of the granite rock and sandstone in southern Jordan, Wadi Rum is steeped in history, culture, and mythological lore. No trip to Jordan is complete without a trip into the desert and you will stay in an authentic Bedouin camp and explore the sands on an exciting 4×4 tour.
