Crusaders & Camels

8 Days

You can...

  • Discover the amazing rock-cut city of Petra
  • Sleep under the stars in a Bedouin camp
  • Explore the dramatic desert in Wadi Rum
  • Visit Crusader castles and Roman cities

An action-packed adventure, but set in a relaxed environment with wonderful food and friendly, hospitable hosts.

See the superb Roman remains in Jerash and explore the incredible temples of Petra, with the highlight of your journey almost certainly the desert landscape of Wadi Rum - where the movie Lawrence of Arabia and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen were filmed.

You'll spend your time in this fantastic wilderness on jeep safaris, camel trekking and star-gazing from your Bedouin-style camp, snorkelling amongst the colourful coral in exotic Aqaba, and, towards the end of this amazing adventure, enjoy floating in the Dead Sea.
