ancient wonders

Jordan packs a lot into a small country. Petra, the rose-red city of the Nabataeans, is one of the world’s great sights, and the desert of Wadi Rum is just as memorable.

Add the Roman city of Jerash, a float in the Dead Sea and the Red Sea at Aqaba, and you have one of the most rewarding trips in the region.
