Situated on the Red Sea, Jordan is a country loaded with everything a traveller could wish for. This tour takes in the main highlights of Jordan. Petra with its jaw-dropping rock carvings and landscapes often steals the show, but Jordan offers much more and is crammed with ancient and geographical treasures - from Roman amphitheatres and temples to the unreal sand dunes of Wadi Rum. Float effortlessly on the Dead Sea looking across to Israel and spend a night in eco-friendly Dana Biosphere Reserve, Jordan`s largest nature reserve. This makes for a great short trip or the perfect extension to our Syrian Odyssey or Syrian Snapshot adventures.
