Epic desert landscapes, astounding monuments and the wonderfully restorative Dead Sea make this tiny kingdom truly rewarding to explore. On our solo travel tours of Jordan we walk the streets of the spectacular ancient city of Petra, hewn out of rose-red rock and rediscovered beneath the desert sand in 1812. We enjoy lunch in the heart of Wadi Rum, where much of ‘Lawrence of Arabia’ was filmed. And we travel to the Dead Sea, 400m below sea level, for a relaxing float in its exceptionally salty water.
