Jordan Journey – Petra, Wadi Rum & The Hejaz Railway

Jordan offers an extraordinary concentration of history, landscapes and living culture, explored here through a carefully paced, fully-escorted 10-day itinerary with a rare focus on the country’s surviving railway heritage. Highlights include Amman and the railway heritage of the Hejaz Railway, one of the most evocative railways in the Middle East; Jerash, one of the best-preserved Roman provincial cities in the world; the magnificent rose-red UNESCO listed Nabataean city of Petra; the Christian heritage of Bethany Beyond the Jordan and the Moses Memorial Church; and desert grandeur of Wadi Rum - where a train journey, a 4x4 desert safari, and a stay in a premium desert camp create one of the journey’s most memorable experiences. Visits to Kerak Castle, the Dead Sea, and the mosaic city of Madaba add further depth, linking archaeology, faith, trade routes and modern Jordanian identity in a compact yet richly rewarding journey. Along the way, you’ll meet wonderful people, hear inspiring stories, enjoy Jordanian cuisine, and stay in premium accommodation.
