Explore ancient lands, come face-to-face with the great epochs of history and learn of this most fascinating and significant region. The Jordanian capital, Amman, was previously known as Philadelphia and its Roman theatre reminds us of the past glories of empire. Mysterious Petra appears out of nowhere – a remarkable, rose-red city hewn from sandstone cliffs by the Nabataean people. Now regarded as one of the ‘New Seven Wonders of the World’. The desert of Wadi Rum resonates with natural grandeur, the exploits of Lawrence of Arabia and the myths of One Thousand and One Nights. The holy city of Jerusalem Is as great as the images it conjures; from the Wailing Wall to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, from the Temple Mount to the narrow streets of the Old City, there are few places in the world that are more evocative, exciting and full of meaning to so many people.
