Steeped in ancient history and home to some of the Middle East's
most famous attractions, Jordan is the ideal place for a family
adventure. This unforgettable eight-day tour highlights Jordan's
most exciting corners, from the historical monuments of Jerash to
magnificent Petra, and the Wadi Rum desert to the blissful Red Sea
coast. With a balance of activities and down time, your family will
love this cultural odyssey. Flying into Amman, you'll begin your
trip in one of the oldest continually habited cities in the world
with history all around you. From there, you will see ancient
architecture, spend a night in a Bedouin camp in the desert and
explore the incredible Dead Sea.
Family camp out in the desert
You'll spend a night in the Wadi Rum desert, alongside the
Bedouin people who will host you in your camp. You'll also explore
the moonscape-like area, enjoy a four-wheel-drive desert safari and
take a camel ride.
Explore Jerash's history
Marvel at Greco-Roman ruins in Jerash, one of the best examples
of a Roman city in the Middle East, including striking archways,
public buildings and colonnaded streets. The city achieved such
prosperity that emperor Hadrian visited around 129 AD and you can
see the arch that was built in his honour.
The Red and Dead seas
The waters of the Red Sea offer some of the best coral reef
snorkelling outside Australia's Great Barrier Reef, making them a
great place to visit for a spectacular underwater view. For an
altogether different experience, you'll visit the Dead Sea, the
lowest elevation on land, to float in the super-salty inland
lake.
