Jordan
What We Love
The Treasury in Petra
- Experiencing the magic of an ancient place: from the ruins of Greco-Roman cities, to biblical landmarks, to the vast deserts that inspired Lawrence of Arabia, Jordan is an iconic destination of the Arab world.
- The archaeological site Petra, the “Red Rose City,” was carved out of pink sandstone cliffs around 300 B.C. by the Nabateans. The once-thriving capital is surrounded by stark mountains. A beautiful and fascinating site, Petra is the highlight of any trip to this region.
- Walking though Jerash, the “Pompeii of the Middle East,” and marveling at the splendored past of the Romans and their reach in the world.
- A long float in the salts and minerals of the Dead Sea—the original healing spa treatment!
