Discover Jordan- Lost city of Petra, Wadi Rum desert and Dead Sea

This adventure takes us to Petra, a flourishing ancient city and the capital of the Arab Nabataeans, famous for its rose rock-cut architecture. A magnificent sight not to be missed as this UNESCO World Heritage Site and the symbol of the Kingdom of Jordan.

A land rich in natural wonders and sites so ancient, that by comparison, the Crusader forts guarding the old trade routes are considered recent additions.

Alexander the Great paved the way for Hellenistic cities and culture, while the Netbeans carved grandiose buildings, temples, and tombs out of the red Petra sandstone. Later still, Jordan became an important trading center of the Roman Empire and lavish backdrop for some of the history’s most enthralling tales. Remarkably, the landscape has changed little in the last 2,000 years.
