Jordan Sojourn: Summer Special — NEW!
This tour highlights the rich cultural heritage and stunning landscape of Jordan. The journey takes in the well-preserved classical city of Jerash, the biblical sites of Mt. Nebo and Madaba, and Petra – the rock city lost to the world for a millennium. Hidden deep in the Shara Mountains for a thousand years until rediscovered in 1812, Petra was recently confirmed as one of the Seven New Wonders of the World. The curative waters of the Dead Sea complete your exploration of the country.
