Jordan

Jordan offers a multitude of diverse experiences from the desert to the sea, thoroughly welcoming people along the way. Petra is of course a real highlight, but the Roman remains at Jerash are also possibly some of the best to be seen in existence.

In the desert sands of Wadi Rum you can get into the wilderness and spend a night under the stars. For the more adventurous, the nature reserve at Dana has stunning scenery and is away from the main tourist routes.

And at the Dead Sea hotels you can dust off the sand, relax and recuperate. The small size of the Kingdom means that driving from place to place is always minimal.

Scott Dunn’s highlights for Jordan:

• A once in a lifetime experience, float in the Dead Sea, one of the worlds most unique lakes, 400m below sea level.
• A stunning 6 century BC ancient site, Petra is hidden within the mountains and is a truly magnificent sight to behold, a must do when in Jordan.
