Trip Details

- Visited Areas: Middle East
Explore the fascinating Kingdom of Jordan on our exciting family adventure. We see the old royal cars of the late King Hussein, and get a real insight into the Roman lifestyle as we watch racing chariots and fighting gladiators in an original setting at Jerash. We float in the salty Dead Sea, explore a crusader castle and then visit the famous rose red rock city of Petra, a World Heritage Site built over 2000 years ago. Next stop the desert, where we retrace the footsteps of Lawrence of Arabia. We take a jeep across the dramatic desert landscape of Wadi Rum with its weird and wonderful rock formations, and also ride on a camel - the "ship of the desert". We spend the night under the stars in tents in a Bedouin style desert camp, before basing ourselves in Aqaba on the Red Sea. Here there are plenty of options to keep the family entertained, before we end our journey back in the capital, Amman.Please note that the child price is only applicable for 1 child under 12 sharing a room with 2 adults. If children are in a separate room, or if children are sharing with only 1 adult, then the adult price applies. Please note that quad share rooms are not available.
