12-day Tour to Jordan and Syria
Overview
Take the Grand Tour of Jordan and Syria to let history, culture, and stunning nature witness your adventure of a lifetime. In Jordan, walk through the lost city of Petra, which is one of the New 7 Wonders of the World, and get rid of the day’s tiredness in the vast Wadi Rum desert by attending the night camp amidst the gorgeous views of the desert.
Enter Syria and experience the past by walking through the historic streets of Old Damascus, visiting the Christian village of Maaloula, and enjoying the sight of the mighty Crusader castle, Crac des Chevaliers. Jordan welcomes you to the Dead Sea again, this time for relaxation, where you can take a dip in the mineral-rich waters and savor the tranquility.
The skillfully planned itinerary comprises private vehicles, professional guides, a four-star hotel stay with breakfast, and distinctive cultural activities, which indeed make it one of the most extensive Middle East tour packages designed for travelers craving history, adventure, and an authentic experience of the local culture.
