Jordan, lost cities, castles, sunsets  With a progressive and modern ruling head of state, Jordan embodies a nation that has blended the traditional with the modern. Being such a small country it has a myriad of attractions to offer – from historical and religious sites to breath-taking landscapes. International Destinations has many sample itineraries from which to choose. All arrangements are by private vehicle so we can rearrange or design an itinerary to suit your time frame and budget. You may consider a one-way journey north to south or vice versa. We can co-ordinate the border-crossing with Syria, Egypt and Israel.
Must sees:
Petra – the rose-red rock city of the Nabateans. Featured in ‘Indiana Jones', the famous Treasury building looms before you as you enter the hidden valley.
