Take a trip to the heart of the Middle East with a fascinating tour of Saudi Arabia and Jordan, two destinations rich in history, culture and breathtaking scenery. From thousand-year-old cities to UNESCO-listed archaeological sites, color-changing deserts and the healing Dead Sea, this trip promises unforgettable experiences.
Discover Saudi Arabia: tradition and modernity
Saudi Arabia offers curious travellers an astonishing diversity. From Riyadh, the modern capital where skyscrapers and historic palaces coexist, to Jeddah, the pearl of the Red Sea renowned for its historic Al-Balad district and spectacular mosques, each stop immerses you in a unique universe.
In Al Ula, explore the spectacular Nabataean site of Hegra, the first Saudi site to be listed by UNESCO, admire the rock-cut tombs and cross breathtakingly beautiful desert landscapes. And don't forget the unforgettable 4x4 excursion to the Al Disah valley and a visit to Medina, a spiritual Mecca.
Jordan: a journey back in time
Jordan also has its share of wonders in store for you. In Wadi Rum, nicknamed the “Valley of the Moon”, marvel at the color-changing rock formations at sunset and spend the night in a traditional Bedouin camp.
Continue on to Petra, the jewel of Jordan and one of the Seven Wonders of the World, where rock-carved temples and tombs tell the fascinating story of the Nabataeans. Extend the experience with a unique dip in the Dead Sea and discover the ancient treasures of Jerash before visiting the capital, Amman.
