Join the 'Splendours of Jordan' tour - one of the best tours of Jordan - and visit the stunning desert landscapes of Wadi Rum and the world heritage site of Petra, which is incredibly atmospheric when illuminated by candlelight. You will also visit the biblical site of Mount Nebo, and relax at the Dead Sea, at the lowest point on earth, 400m below sea level. These escorted tours have a maximum group size of 25, and allow you to see all the main sights with enough time spent at each place. Many people also choose to extend their holiday with a couple of extra nights on the Dead Sea. The tour can also be arranged privately for a supplement on any day of the year which gives you more flexibility with the sightseeing - for example if you wanted to stay longer somewhere then it is much easier to arrange this with the driver - please call for details.
