Luxury Holidays To Jordan

The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is steeped in history, and archeological attractions are plentiful; the ancient city of Petra, carved into the red rock face by the Nabataean people, is a must, while Jerash – hidden by sand until 1920s – is one of the world’s best preserved Roman provincial towns.

Connoisseurs of Byzantine art will not fail to be impressed by Madaba, ‘The City of Mosaics’, which is most famous for its 6th century mosaic map of the Holy Land made from over two million pieces.

For those who like the hustle and bustle of a cosmopolitan capital, you’ll love Amman where traditional coffee shops and markets vie for attention with smart restaurants and boutiques. Natural wonders abound too. Allow the Dead Sea to amaze you with its ability to make you float effortlessly while at the same time benefitting from its mineral-rich mud; or marvel at  the spectacular wilderness of Wadi Rum and its striking rock formations, canyons and water holes.

If you wish, spend the night in a Bedouin tent and fall asleep to the sounds of the desert. Meanwhile, excellent diving and snorkelling opportunities are guaranteed at Aqaba, the Red Sea resort. Swim amongst corals, fish, turtles and dolphins, and if you’re feeling brave join a highly-memorable night dive.
