JOURNEY DESCRIPTION

Highlights of Jordan

The Nabataeans may be gone and the ancient desert settlements may be quiet, but what remains to be visited and studied in this spectacular country is wonderful.

We travel to the Dead Sea and the surrounding sites of Bethany, Mount Nebo and Madaba. Then we head south to Dana Nature Reserve and across desert landscapes as far as Petra, Wadi Rum and Aqaba in the south. Then we return to Jordan's busy capital, Amman where we visit the old and new parts of the city as well as Jerash, Ajloun and Umm Qais in the far north.

This journey has something for everyone!
