FINAN TO PETRA JORDAN TREK
9 - 16 MAY 2009
Jordan is a surprise to many people; A well-travelled bridge between sea and desert, east and west, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is a land of mesmerizing beauty and contrasts, from the Jordan Valley, fertile, ever changing, to the remote desert canyons, immense and still. Visitors can explore desert castles, gaze in awe at the haunting wilderness of Wadi Rum, or bathe in the restful waters of the Red Sea. Jordan is a kingdom steeped in history and culture, the Arab inhabitants are amongst the most hospitable in the world, with a rich heritage of ancient civilisations long since passed.
Our journey from Finan to Petra passes through lavish green valleys, steppe, and beautiful mountain landscapes before finally arriving at the magnificent rose city of Petra. This is a real and rare chance to get off the beaten track.
