Travel to Jordan

Once an important trading centre of the Roman Empire, and straddling the ancient Holy Land of the worlds three great monotheistic religions, Jordan is a tiny desert kingdom wrapped in history.

Stand on Mt Nebo and survey the land promised to Moses; unwrap a scarf or two at Mukawir, where Salome cast a spell over men in perpetuity; float in the Dead Sea, beside a pillar of salt, reputed to be Lots disobedient wife; go just about anywhere in Jordan and youll find every stone bares a tale, and those of Madabas legendary mosaics tell more tales than most.

Petra, the jewel in the crown of Jordans antiquities, is one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. The magnificent rock-hewn city of the Nabateans has been a favourite destination for Europeans since the 19th century, and at sunset on a winters day, when the rose-pink city catches alight, it is easy to see why this enchanting place has charmed generations of visitors.
