Jordan
The Middle East’s iconic sights lie in Jordan’s desert landscapes. Petra appears before visitors like a miracle, the sandstone facades at once recognisable and more utterly exotic than one can imagine. Further south, Wadi Rum is a romantic, rugged land of red earth and stunning outcrops, the perfect place for remote exploration and a desert camp. Elsewhere, Jordan offers the full fix, whatever you’re after: a buzzing souk here, a crusader castle there. Dana Nature Reserve, meanwhile, mixes lush tropical vegetation with sparse desert shrubs, an extraordinarily varied landscape within a small area – a little like Jordan itself.

Secrets of Jordan & Syria
Virginia - , 17 Jun, 2012
Undoubtedly one of the most enjoyable and satisfying tours we have ever undertaken - and with work and pleasure that takes in more than 50 countries. For us it was the right mix of stunning ancient sites, superb scenery, welcoming local people and a number of big 'surprises' along the way e.g. how good Palmyra was. Unfortunately the power of modern communication and information systems means that you often know too much before you travel - it is good to be ambushed from time to time in a nice way. Something of this quality in North Africa would be very appealing.

Petra in Jordan was the most spectacular piece of history I have seen since my first view of Macchu Pichu. The initial view of the 'Treasury' is just a tasty morsel of the meal of history that will unfold before your eyes as you proceed into the inner sanctum of Petra. I could not believe my eyes
