This 10-day tour of Jordan and the luxurious United Arab Emirates city of Dubai takes you on a journey to its most popular attractions - a perfect combination of rich history mixed with modern world wonders.
The tour starts in Jordan's busy city of Amman before we make our way down the scenic King's Highway, along the way seeing Roman mosaics at Madaba, taking in views of Israel from Mt. Nebo and visiting the imposing Kerak Castle before we arrive in Petra. We have a whole day to explore the ancient 'rose city' of Petra - undoubtedly one of the jewels in Jordan's historical crown.
From Petra, we head to the rugged beauty of the Wadi Rum desert for a night in a comfortable Bedouin camp and a jeep safari before returning via a swim in the Dead Sea to Amman. We'll take a city tour in Amman and visit the ancient Greco-Roman site of Jerash before taking a flight (not included) to the ultra-modern city of Dubai and its towering skyscrapers.
Here you'll head out on a shared tour of this fast-changing city and even enjoy a spectacular Dhow cruise on the Dubai Creek, where you'll feast onboard while listening to live music and watch the mesmerising Tanura dancers.
Your Dubai adventure also offers the option of some fun on its dunes, with dune riding, sunset photography, belly dancing and a barbecue dinner available.
Accommodation is in locally rated 3-star hotels and a Bedouin camp, with options available to upgrade to higher levels if required.
