Special inclusion:
Star gazing in Wadi Rum
The night skies of Wadi Rum are clear and free of light pollution. Travel with a pair of binoculars and take full advantage of this ideal opportunity to take a closer look at the heavens from your `Bedouinstyle' camp in the desert.
Wadi Rum & Petra
You head into the desert by 4WD, passing the Mameluke Palace that so captivated Lawrence of Arabia. There's a good chance you'll experience the same sense of wonder as you spend a night in a Bedouin tent in the heart of the desert. From here your journey takes you to the spectacular ruins of Petra, former capital of the Nabataean civilisation, and on to the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth.
Comfort Level
Graded `gentle', so anyone in good health can take part in this journey. There is a reasonable amount of optional walking involved, graded `moderate', to explore the sites, especially in Petra. Be prepared for dry, dusty desert conditions.
