Land Exploration
The Lost City of Petra
Through the lightning-bolt-shaped entrance of the Siq, discover the iconic Treasury facade and beyond, where more than 800 tombs have been sculpted into red stone.
Wadi Rum Desert Discovery
As part of a convoy of 4x4 vehicles, we make tracks across the sands of Wadi Rum, following the undulating terrain and stopping to admire ancient Nabataean rock inscriptions. We also enjoy exceptional views of the stars and planets owing to the absence of light pollution.
Float in the Dead Sea
Retain your buoyancy courtesy of the water’s off-the-charts saline levels. Your experience in the Dead Sea is akin to an astronaut drifting into outer space.
Amman’s Ancient Wonders
During our stay in the Jordanian capital, we explore the cities of Jerash and Madaba. Discover the Arch of Hadrian, the Oval Plaza and the Hippodrome. In Madaba, we look upon a cherished sixth-century mosaic depiction of the Holy Land.
A Memorial Upon the Mountain
Choose to visit Mt Nebo, from where Moses is said to have looked upon the Holy Land. A destination for pilgrims, the site offers views over Jordan, the Dead Sea and Israel. The Memorial Church of Moses was also erected here.
