Dear Travel Friends,

It is with pleasure we present this Grand Tour of Jordan, where we’ll span the intricate time line of history, dating back to time of Moses, through the centuries, to today’s Hashemite Kingdom, so gracefully led by King Abdullah and Queen Rania. Too often a cursory look to Jordan means a stop in the modern capital of Amman with a quick trip to Petra. We are offering so much more on this exciting and carefully organized tour. Of course , we’ll see the legendary Nabataean city nestled in the pink cliffs of Petra, but we’ll travel south all the way to the Red Sea port of Aqaba, and north beyond the well-preserved Roman site of Jerash. We’ll explore desert castles on ancient trade routes and venture into legendary Wadi Rum. Remember the film “Lawrence of Arabia”, and how enthralled T.E. Lawrence was with the desert? We’ll capture that feeling too – in comparative comfort of our 4-wheel drive vehicles.

Our Grand Tour of Jordan dovetails into our Discover Syria tour, April 8-17. Please request a separate brochure if it is of interest to you. For a few dollars more you may fly on Royal Jordanian to Syria and return.
