Observe the Tomb of King Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings on one of our Egypt tours, the 17-day Egypt and Jordan Adventure.
In Jordan, explore the legendary lost city of Petra filled with ancient temples, tombs and caves. Admire the red rose city carved into the sandstone rock and the Treasury, the first historical building within the site. For the avid explorer, discover more with the option to walk up to The Monastery, a huge carved temple reached by approximately 800 steps.
Desert Dreams and Salt Water
The unique, lunar-like landscape of the desert in Jordan has to be seen to be believed. Enjoy an enriching Bedouin camp experience in Wadi Rum where you will savour the flavours of a traditional Arabic feast and drive through the sand in a Jeep. Learn more about astrology with a guide as you gaze into a sky dazzling with stars.
From the Wadi Rum Desert, visit the Dead Sea, known for being the lowest point on earth. Spanning over 600 kilometres, this inland lake is rich with thermal minerals and nearly 10 times saltier than the ocean. The natural health benefits of the water and mud can be experienced through the Ma’in Hot Springs.
