Tours to Israel » Туры » Jordan Tour: The Magic of the Desert
A signature tour by guide Olga Entina invites you on an unforgettable journey through beautiful Jordan.
This five-day adventure will take us to the ancient city of Petra, once the capital of the Nabataean Kingdom; to the summit of Jabal Harun, believed to be the burial site of the prophet Aaron; across the breathtaking, almost Martian landscapes of Wadi Rum; and along one of Jordan’s most spectacular canyon routes through the flowing waters of the Arnon Stream.
In addition to these highlights, we will make numerous stops along the way to discover many other fascinating places and hidden gems.
In Jordan, every bend in the road reveals either a story from history or a stunning scene worthy of a perfect photograph.
