Jordan is a wealth of hidden treasure and a fascinating mix of cultures and ancient civilisations. This storied country boasts architecture from countless empires, including the Romans, Greeks and Nabataeans. Marvel at the Greco-Roman ruins at Jerash, the Byzantine mosaics at Madaba and the fortified Kerak Castle of crusader fame.
Without a doubt, the jewel of Jordan remains the ancient city of Petra. Wander down the narrow siq and explore this incredible wonder, hewn into sheer rock more than 2000 years ago.
