Secrets Of Jordan & Syria

14 days - from $3090

Weaved together by a culture and history rich in the silk and spice trade, Jordan and Syria is an irresistible combination From modern, diverse Amman, we drive to the Red Sea resort of Aqaba for beach time and colourful corals, before heading by 4WD into nearby Wadi Rum to explore its vast sands and surreal formations. A day in Petra, the hand-hewn ‘rose-red city half as old as time’, primes us for the ancient Roman city of Jerash and the mighty amphitheatre at Bosra. An afternoon spent at the Dead Sea is a great way to relax – here, in the highly saline waters, you’ll experience an otherworldly buoyancy that’s the perfect platform to read outdoors or simply bask. In Damascus, the celebrated Omayyad Mosque delights as much as the labyrinth of streets and souks that surround it, as does the imposing Krak des Chevaliers – the greatest Crusader fortress ever built. In Aleppo, wander the vaulted bazaars, enjoy great Levantine cuisine and perhaps indulge in an invigorating Turkish bath, replete with an exfoliating rubdown. We return to Damascus by way of Tartus, minds alight with splendid architecture, kaleidoscopic culture and breathtaking scenery.
