Travel to Jordan and experience the ancient city of Petra.

Travel to Jordan and visit the rose-hued fortress city of Petra, which was the capital of the ancient Nabataeans - a mysterious people who carved a trading empire from the desert in what is now modern Jordan. Take time to explore the extraordinary beauty of Petra's rock-hewn architecture and to discover its history. There's also time to float in the legendary Dead Sea and see Jerusalem shimmering in the distance from mosaic-adorned Mt Nebo. This short break amid ancient wonders is the perfect way to cap off a voyage to the Middle East.

  • Travel to Jordan and take in views of Jerusalem from Mt Nebo
  • Admire ancient mosaics and architecture
  • Lie back and relax in the salty Dead Sea
  • Explore the tombs and temples of Petra with a local guide
  • Admire Petra's iconic Treasury facade
  • Soak up the sophisticated vibe of Amman
