Journey through timeless Jordan

Jordan Tour | 8 Days – Starting Amman | 28 Oct 2024 & 27 Oct 2025

Jordan is a land of stunning deserts, ancient towns, and World heritage sites, enriched by a culture of hospitality rooted in Bedouin traditions. Though a young nation, its history is ancient, marked by camel caravans, Nabataean traders, Roman legions, Muslim armies, and Crusaders. Beyond its desert heart, discover lush farmlands, dramatic mountains, and beautiful beaches.

This Byroads journey starts in Amman, leading to the ancient city of Jerash, a testament to human occupation dating back over 6500 years, and known for its magnificent Greco-Roman ruins. Descend to the healing waters of the Dead Sea, before venturing south. Head to the spectacular desert valley of Wadi Rum, climb dunes, ride camels at sunset and overnight in a Bedouin-style camp.

The highlight is Petra, the ancient Nabataean city carved into pink sandstone cliffs, where the Treasury’s view through Siq canyon is unforgettable. On our return to Ammam, explore the 12th century Shobak Crusader castle and wander through the ancient villages of Dana and Madaba, and take time to reflect of Jordan’s timeless beauty and extraordinary history.
