Travel to Jordan and take a bike tour of Petra and Wadi Rum.

Travel to Jordan and cycle through the ancient sites of Madaba, Mt Nebo and one of the world's most spectacular sights - the 'Rose-Red City' of Petra. Away from the temples and monuments, ride through quiet villages and ancient olive groves, meeting some Bedouin people along the way. Experience the peculiar weightlessness of floating in the Dead Sea, and snorkel in the biblical waters of the Red Sea to relax and unwind. Most relaxing of all is the night spent in Wadi Rum, the former headquarters of Lawrence of Arabia. Here the solitude, majestic desert scenery and incredible night skies ensure a memorable evening of stargazing.

  • Camp under the stars in Wadi Rum
  • Snorkel in the Red Sea
  • Meet Bedouin tribes in the Jordanian desert
  • Float weightlessly in the Dead Sea
  • See Moses' rumoured burial site at Mt Nebo
  • Travel to Petra and explore the wonders of the 'Rose-Red City'
