Jordan's History & Culture
Over 10 captivating days, you'll explore deserts with moss and juniper bushes, 7th century palaces, cities deserted for millennia and natural rock formations. Highlights include: ➣ Spend a night sleeping under the stars in Wadi Rum ➣ Admire ancient Petra and its outlying ruins ➣ Meander your way through the market town of Madaba Although more than two thirds of Jordan is covered in desert, they are totally different from each other.

This tour allows you to experience the undulating landscapes, history and culture first hand.

Jordan is enjoyable at any time of year, although perhaps the best times are between March and May, and between September and November, when temperatures hover around 25 degrees Celsius. Summertime, from June to August, can be roasting hot, nudging 40 degrees, so follow the lead of the locals and take a nap after lunch to avoid the worst of the heat. Wintertime can get chilly, and can even see snowfall, although this does mean that you can enjoy more solitude at the sites. Even in winter Aqaba on the Red Sea enjoys beautifully warm weather and bright sunshine.
