Hashemite Kingdom & Dead Sea Escape — Tour to Jordan

This 8-day tour starts in Amman before heading to the Roman ruins of Jerash and the hilltop fortress of Ajloun Castle, then on to Mount Nebo, said to be where Moses first saw the Promised Land, and a float in the mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea.

One traveller called Jordan “now my favourite place in the whole world,” praising the excursions and organisation (read the review). Another, on a genuinely packed schedule, still found the trip worthwhile for “beautiful scenery ranging from the sand dunes to the snow capped mountains” (see review).
