Explore the fabled 'Lost City ' of Petra Camp under the stars in
magnificent Wadi Rum after a camel ride in the desert Swimming (and
floating!) at both the Red & Dead Seas Independent family trips
available
Jordan, with its spectacular desert scenery, archaeological treasures
and Dead and Red Seas, is an ideal destination for a short but varied
trip. Petra is indisputably one of the most amazing sites in the
world. Hidden for centuries, it wasn't until a Swiss explorer 'discovered'
it in 1812 that the 'Lost City' finally became known to the western
world. Wadi Rum too is one of the most stunning desert-scapes in
the world and we spend a night camping out under the stars. A trip
to Jordan would not be complete without a soak in the saline waters
of the Dead Sea and a chance to swim or snorkel over the amazing
coral of the Red Sea.

Day 1 Fly to Amman; transfer to Madaba.
Day 2 Drive to the Dead Sea and float in the salty water; explore
Madaba's mosaics.

Highway.
