Visit Mount Nebo believe to be the place where Moses viewed the Promised land before his death, visit the ancient rose city of Petra which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site  and one of the New 7 Wonders of the World. Camp overnight in Wadi Rum which has the most magnificent of Jordan’s desert landscapes and one of the favourite locations for filmmakers and producers to film (movies such as Lawrence of Arabia, The Martian and many more including this year’s Walt Disney production, Aladdin). You will explore the desert region on a jeep and stay overnight in a Bedouin camp.
