    Overview

    Fabled Petra, long-lost city of the Nabateans, Jerash, a fabulously preserved Roman city, the great Crusader castle at Kerak—the ancient legacy of Jordan is rivaled only by the stunning beauty of the landscape, exemplified by the stunning desert canyon of Wadi Rum. On this Private Journey, take in the extraordinary wonder of the “rose-red” city of Petra, a desert fortress carved out of craggy rocks in a remote canyon in the 3rd century BC, forgotten by the outside world for 1,000 years, then rediscovered in 1812 by a Swiss explorer. In addition to Petra, Jerash, and Kerak, your journey also includes an overnight at a tented camp in Wadi Rum, haunt of T. E. Lawrence. Throughout the trip, enjoy the leadership of a private English-speaking guide, wonderful accommodations, air-conditioned vehicles, and lots of wonderful interactions with the Jordanians, among the most hospitable people in the world.

      Explore Amman on a city tour including the Citadel, Byzantine Church, Umayyad Palace, and the Archaeological Museum, then head to the fabulously preserved Roman ruins at Jerash, an archaeological masterpiece framed by the hills of Gilead. Jerash's monuments include a triumphal arch, stadium, huge fountain, temples, and colonnaded streets.
      En route to Petra, visit Madaba, whose St. George's Church houses a world-famous mosaic floor, and Mount Nebo, the site where Moses viewed the Holy Land, then continue to Petra, “a rose-red city half as old as time.” This remote city is one of the great treasures of the ancient world (and one of the new Seven Wonders of the World!). Its dazzling desert setting is unmatched and its elaborately carved temples, hewn into the red and golden sandstone cliffs by the mysterious Nabatean people 2,000 years ago, are simply spellbinding. Rediscovered early in the 19th century, this World Heritage Site is a spectacular tour de force of architecture. Walk through the narrow defile called the Siq and set your eyes on the breathtaking Al Khazneh (Treasury), which was featured in the film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
      The landscape of Wadi Rum, with its immensity, ever-changing palette of colors, and awe-inspiring rock spires, creates an other-worldly atmosphere. Enjoy an optional ride by camel (or on foot) to T. E. Lawrence's spring and explore by 4WD to savor the majesty of the desert. Overnight at Wadi Rum Night Camp, a simple desert getaway in a superb wilderness setting.
      After a short walk this morning to a small natural arch with inscriptions dating from the time of the Nabateans, the builders of Petra 2,000 years ago, continue to your hotel at the legendary Dead Sea, with the afternoon at leisure. Overnight at the 5-star Dead Sea Movenpick Resort & Zara Spa.
      After breakfast at hotel, transfer to the Amman airport for departure on homeward-bound flights.

Located 30 miles north of Amman, Jerash is an archaeological masterpiece framed by the hills of Gilead. It was founded by the soldiers of Alexander the Great during the 4th century BC and later joined the Roman Decapolis. The city was organized along a grid of wide, colonnaded streets. These expanded at the two major intersections to form small, circular piazzas that contain four-pillar monuments and, at the south gate, a large oval forum. Other monuments of this prosperous Roman city&mdash;considered one of the best preserved provincial cities of the Roman Empire&mdash;include a triumphal arch, a stadium, a monumental fountain, and temples. Jerash&apos;s main ruins were identified in 1806 by German traveler Ulrich Seetzen. Restoration began in 1925 under the British Mandate. Most of the ruins at Jerash date from the Roman and Byzantine eras.

Mt. Nebo is the mountain where Moses was allowed to view the Holy Land, yet not allowed to enter it. Today it is the site of the Church of Moses, built by the first Christians. Mt. Nebo has long been a holy place and a destination for Christian pilgrimage. Like Moses, you will enjoy a great view over Jordan, the Dead Sea, and Israel. When the weather is clear, you may even see Jerusalem, about 30 miles away. Continue to Madaba, with a stop en route at the Mosaic Handicrafts Center. At Madaba, known as the City of Mosaics, St. George&apos;s Church houses a world-famous mosaic floor that is a large map of Palestine, including a detailed mosaic of Jerusalem as it was during the 6th century AD. After lunch in Madaba, continue on to Shobak. Set on the edge of plateau with its imposing brick walls, the Shobak Castle was built by the Crusader king Baldwin I in 1115 AD. After its fall to the armies of Saladin in 1189 AD, it was occupied by the Mamluks, who expanded its complex. The castle itself has many secret passageways, and we'll pass under arches, walk through tunnels, and see the ruins of a lesser-visited crusade fortress. Continue to the Petra Movenpick Resort in time for dinner and overnight.\r\n\r\nPetra By Night\r\nTo visit Petra during daylight is awe-inspiring, but to experience it at night by the light of 1,800 candles is out-of-this-world! Walk a candle-lit path through the Siq to the Khazneh and enjoy the haunting music of the Bedouins performed in front of the Treasury. Tours start at 8:30pm and finish at 10:.00pm.

From here, walk through the narrow canyon called the Siq to visit the rose-red city of Petra. The city was a fortress carved out of craggy rocks in an area that was virtually inaccessible. In the first and second century AD, after the Romans took over, Petra reached the peak of its fame. The archaeological site covers an area of about 50 square miles, with over 800 monuments excavated. Petra&apos;s famous Al-Khazneh (&ldquo;Treasury&rdquo;) was featured in the film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Enjoy a buffet lunch inside Petra at the Basin Restaurant and continue your visit in the afternoon. This evening, enjoy an optional cooking class for a chance to learn about Jordanian cuisine. Overnight at the Petra Movenpick Resort.\r\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\r\nPetra: The fabled ruin called Petra was carved from solid red sandstone in the 3rd century BC. It was the capital of the Nabataens, a nomadic Arabian tribe who ruled the Trans-Jordan area in pre-Roman times and derived their great wealth and power from the passing trade caravans. With the rise of the coastal trading center at Palmyra and the opening of sea trade routes, Petra declined in importance and was forgotten by the outside world for 1,000 years. In 1812, Swiss explorer John Lewis Burckhardt, a young convert to Islam traveling the Middle East's deserts in Bedouin disguise, heard local Bedouins tell of fantastic ruins hidden in the mountains of Wadi Musa. He persuaded one to lead him there. His journal and sketches of Petra eventually made their way to London, where they inspired many to seek this lost city. Petra is spectacularly set on the edge of the Wadi Araba, where sheer sandstone hills form a deep canyon that protects the city in all directions. The sandstone is a deep rust color banded with gray and yellow and shades in between. The modern town outside of Petra is called Wadi Musa (Valley of Moses). This is the spot where Moses is thought to have struck the rock, bringing water flowing forth as it does today.\r\n\r\nRose-Red Petra: John William Burgon took his degree from Oxford in 1845 and the same year wrote his famous sonnet for Petra, a site that he had never visited. The last two lines are an oft&apos; quoted description of this epic lost city.\r\n&nbsp;\r\n&nbsp;It seems no work of Man's creative hand,\r\n&nbsp;by labor wrought as wavering fancy planned;\r\n&nbsp;But from the rock as if by magic grown,\r\n&nbsp;eternal, silent, beautiful, alone!\r\n&nbsp;Not virgin-white like that old Doric shrine,\r\n&nbsp;where erst Athena held her rites divine;\r\n&nbsp;Not saintly-grey, like many a minster fane,\r\n&nbsp;that crowns the hill and consecrates the plain;\r\n&nbsp;But rose-red as if the blush of dawn,\r\n&nbsp;that first beheld them were not yet withdrawn;\r\n&nbsp;The hues of youth upon a brow of woe,\r\n&nbsp;which Man deemed old two thousand years ago,\r\n&nbsp;match me such marvel save in Eastern clime,\r\n&nbsp;a rose-red city half as old as time.","Breakfast":1,"Lunch":1,"Dinner":0,"Overnight":"","Travel_Type":"","Quotation":"","Quotation_Attribution":"","Itinerary_Location":"","Latitude":"","Longitude":"","Brief":false},{"DayFrom":5,"DayTo":5,"Headline":"Wadi Rum","ActivityOverview":"","EstimatedLength":"","ActivityLevel":"","ItinBlock":"Depart this morning for Wadi Rum, and on arrival, enjoy an optional ride by camel (or on foot) to T.

Your remote accommodation, Wadi Rum Night Camp, offers a simple desert getaway in a superb wilderness setting.\r\n\r\nWadi Rum: The landscape of Wadi Rum, with its immensity, ever-changing palette of colors, and awe-inspiring rock spires, creates an other-worldly atmosphere. This extraordinary canyon (wadi means canyon) was the headquarters of Prince Feisal bin Hussein and T. E. Lawrence during World War I as they fought the Arab Revolt against the Turkish Ottoman empire. Parts of the film Lawrence of Arabia were staged here, and Lawrence&apos;s famous book, The Seven Pillars of Wisdom, was named after Wadi Rum&apos;s natural landmark of seven jagged rock columns. Wadi Rum is known for its good springs, and the Bedouin frequently pitched their tents here.

As of March 2024, we no longer require guests who exhibit cold or flu symptoms to test for COVID-19. Guests who test positive for COVID-19 will be required to follow local health protocols, wear a mask in group vehicles and during indoor activities for the remainder of the trip, and may be asked to dine separately.

It's important to remember that there are inherent risks associated with travel and group settings.<br><br>These protocols will be reviewed and adjusted as guidance evolves. <br><br>","System_Photography":"<strong>Camera Recommendations<\/strong><br>With the many advances in digital technology, a simple compact digital camera or even your smartphone is capable of taking pictures suitable for the needs of most people. For higher quality images and the ability to use long lenses for closer wildlife pictures, a DSLR camera is well worthwhile, though heavier. Most digital cameras and phones have good video options, but you may want to consider a GoPro for a lightweight, waterproof option. Always practice ahead of time with new equipment and bring your manual with you. You may want to consider renting camera equipment for your trip from places such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lensrentals.com\/\">lensrentals.com<\/a>. This is an especially good idea for renting large zoom lenses that you may need for just one trip. Adding their extra insurance fee to cover expensive equipment is recommended. <br><strong><br>Camera Accessories<\/strong><br>We recommend bringing at least two large capacity memory cards or a small digital storage unit (or tablet) to back up your photos, freeing space on your memory cards. Don't forget to bring a battery charger and a backup battery so one is always charged and ready to use. For trips where you may be away from power sources for multiple days, consider looking into a solar-powered battery charger or buying additional backup batteries, and check that you have the appropriate adapter for the electrical outlets in your destination.<br><strong><br>Sharing Your Images<\/strong><br>We would love for you to share photos from your trip, and with your permission, may even use your photos in our marketing materials or on our photo blog. We request that you send us a small sample of your best images. Please email your photos to wtphotoblog@gmail.com or tag us @WildernessTravel on social media.<br><strong><br>Photography Etiquette<\/strong><br>When taking pictures of local people, be aware of cultural considerations. Approaching people with a warm smile and using polite gestures or simple phrases to ask permission to photograph them usually works well. It is always recommended to engage people in conversation before asking to photograph them, but if people do not wish to have their photo taken, please honor their requests. We urge travelers to avoid giving money in exchange for photo opportunities, which makes it harder for future travelers to have a meaningful personal interaction with local people. Please always heed your Trip Leader's guidelines for what is appropriate.
