Jordan Explorer Programmes

Explore the outlying lands and experience the essence of the Bedouin culture as you embark upon a trek to the awe inspiring city of Petra, carved into the rock face. Rather than arriving in customary fashion, you will reach this supremely important archaeological site, recently voted one of the new seven wonders of the world, by hiking through Neolithic villages via Crusader forts and camping under the stars in traditional Bedouin tents until you arrive at the ancient 'rose red' city on foot.
