13 Days Hidden Treasures of Jordan Tour Package Duration: 13 Days / 12 Nights Priced From: $6415 pp Dbl. Occ. Dates: Jul - Dec
This journey takes in the beautifully preserved classical city of Jerash, the biblical sites of Mt. Nebo, Bethany, and Petra—the rock city lost to the world for a millennium.
The little-visited Dana Nature Reserve extends from the top of the Rift Valley down to the desert lowlands of Wadi Araba. Here, you'll stay at a new eco-lodge which uses only candles and lantern light to afford the guest a romantic setting under the desert sky. The shifting sands of Wadi Rum and the curative waters of the Dead Sea complete your exploration of the country.
