This morning we’ll check out of our Dead Sea luxury hotel and drive south in our air conditioned bus for about two hours to the crown jewel of Jordan, Petra. Once the capital city of the ancient Nabataean Kingdom, Petra, also known as the “Rose-Red City”, is one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world and is listed by Smithsonian Magazine as one of the 28 places you should visit before you die. While there, we’ll take a tour of the ancient city with plenty of time to explore, take photos, and bask in the majesty of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. From Petra, we’ll drive to Wadi Rum, an otherworldly, red-rock landscape in the Jordanian desert. We’ll be spending the night at the famous Aicha Memories Camp, a luxury hotel comprised of bedouin tents and unusual geodesic domes that look like something out of a science fiction film. A night in these Panoramic Domes is a once in a lifetime experience that truly feels out of this world.
