Itinerary
October 20 / ARRIVE WADI RUM
This afternoon we complete our journey from Egypt to Jordan. After crossing the border, you'll meet your Jordanian guide and proceed through the southern Jordan desert to Wadi Rum - an location made famous by Lawrence of Arabia and in the path of the Israelite journeys. Dinner and overnight at a local Bedouin Camp under the Jordanian stars.
October 21 / JEEP ADVENTURE & WADI MUSA
After a sumptuous breakfast, we begin our explorations of the famous rock formations of Wadi Rum. Our 4x4 jeeps will cover the desert area for a morning of fun and amazement. After lunch, we board our bus and drive north to the Springs of Moses - Wadi Musa. In this charming village, we'll find our hotel near the entrance to Petra and relax this evening in preparation for a big day exploring the Red Rock City of Petra.
October 22 / PETRA
Today, you begin your full day of touring the spectacular ancient city of Petra. The red rock cliffs, mysterious and mystical carvings, the religious tombs and structures of a past civilization will leave you full of wonder and awe.
Our guide will show us the meaning behind certain aspects of the park and then leave you free to wander the many trails and remote temples that make up this amazing site.
At the end of day, walk back to your hotel for dinner and overnight...and a traditional Turkish Bath, if you need a little TLC after a long day.
October 23 / THE KINGS HIGHWAY TO ISRAEL
After breakfast we head north toward Amman along a portion of the trade route of the ancient world known as the Kings Highway. Our stop at Mt. Nebo looking over into the Promised Land, just as Moses did, is a moment you will long remember. From bondage to freedom; from Moses to the Messiah.
Following a lovely lunch, you'll cross yet another border, this time the Jordan border at Allenby Bridge where our Israeli guide will be waiting to take the group to the Mediterranean Sea and your first night in Israel at a beautiful seaside hotel in the resort town of Netanya.
