Petra

Jordan

Jordan has gained popularity over the last few years, being one of the safer counties in the Middle East and with so much to offer. It’s a kingdom packed full of historical and cultural sites, from centuries of rulers.

The highlight on many bucket lists is the Nabataean capital of Petra, founded in the sixth century BC. It has since been the home of the Romans, Crusaders and Byzantine Empire, all of which have left their own mark on the fascinating UNESCO site.

The Dead Sea (which isn’t really a sea at all), is 400 metres below sea level, and the lowest body of water on the surface of the earth. The salt lake makes any plant or animal life impossible (hence Dea Sea) and is an ideal place to relax whilst on a longer tour.
