| Three – Day Tour to Wadi Rum, Petra & Dead Sea | ||
| Join us as we explore the finest of Jordan, beginning with Wadi Rum, which has been inhabited by Bedouins for generations and has served as the basis for countless films, including Lawrence of Arabia and The Martian. Wadi Rum is a must-see location for anybody visiting Jordan, and its natural beauty and cultural value combine to provide an amazing experience. Another place to see on your journey is Petra, an ancient city in Jordan’s southern desert. It is well-known for its stunning and elaborate rock-cut architecture, which includes the Treasury, Monastery, and Royal Tombs. From the 4th century BC until the 2nd century AD, the city was the capital of the Nabataean Kingdom and an important commerce center, linking the Arabian Peninsula, Egypt, and Syria-Phoenicia. The Dead Sea has something for everyone, whether you wish to rest and revitalize or learn about the region’s unique history and culture. Take a plunge in the buoyant waters and let your problems float away with you. The water’s high mineral and salt content is said to offer therapeutic characteristics that can help alleviate aches and pains, reduce stress, and even treat skin issues. |
