A crossroads between three continents, Jordan's arid lands hold a rich cultural heritage. This tour reveals the very best of the country's history and geography.
Visit the classical city of Jerash, famed for its Roman ruins; the Biblical site of Mount Nebo; and both the rock-hewn city of Petra and lesser-known 'Little Petra'. The shifting sands of Wadi Rum and the mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea complete your exploration.

-
Are the local guides on the tour English speaking?
Yes. We only work with passionate local guides who have a firm grasp of English – so they can answer all your questions and offer invaluable insight into your destination.
-
What is the standard of the hotels on this tour?
Superior: Most Cox & Kings tours fall under this category and are based in 4- or 5-star accommodation where available, or the best alternative elsewhere.
-

-
Are flights included in this tour?

What happens if a group doesn’t make its minimum required number of passengers?

Why do I have to pay more for my holiday if I am a single traveller?

A 'single' traveller is someone occupying a single room while travelling with one or more other people, for example a single person travelling on a group tour. A 'sole' traveller is someone travelling on their own. As a single traveller on a group tour (except those in the SoloTravellers collection), please check the single supplement price.
