Petra “a rose-red city half as old as time”

Petra is sometimes called the ‘Lost City’. In spite of its being such an important city in antiquity, after the 14th century AD, Petra was completely lost to the western world. It was rediscovered in 1812 by the Swiss traveler, Johann Ludwig Burckhardt, who tricked his way into the fiercely guarded site by pretending to be an Arab from India wishing to make a sacrifice at the tomb of the Prophet Aaron

Wadi Rum and Lawrence of Arabia
The magnificent landscape of Wadi Rum is a must-see for any visitor to Jordan that is a stupendous, timeless place, virtually untouched by humanity and its destructive forces. Here, it is the weather and winds that have carved the imposing, towering skyscrapers, so elegantly described by T.E. Lawrence as “vast, echoing and god-like. Much of David Lean’s epic 1962 movie "Lawrence of Arabia" starring Peter O Toole, Alec Guiness and Omar Sharif was filmed on location in Wadi Rum
