Tour Overview
Epic desert landscapes, astounding monuments and the wonderfully restorative Dead Sea make this tiny kingdom truly rewarding to explore. On our solo travel tours of Jordan we walk the streets of the spectacular ancient city of Petra, hewn out of rose-red rock and rediscovered beneath the desert sand in 1812. We enjoy lunch in the heart of Wadi Rum, where much of ‘Lawrence of Arabia’ was filmed. And we travel to the Dead Sea, 400m below sea level, for a relaxing float in its exceptionally salty water.

With its forum of colonnaded shops, temples and theatres, Jerash might seem a little daunting at first, but it is one of the world’s best-preserved classical sites. Take some time to perch on a ledge and enjoy the spectacular views.This beautiful Greco-Roman city is also famous for its ‘Triumphal Arch’, the Hippodrome and the wide street of columns, which leads to the Temple of Artemis.

The highlights are the spectacular Treasury and the Monastery, both of which have been hewn out of solid rock.Most of this unique city was built by the Nabataean Arabs in the 6th and 5th centuries BC.
