Day 5 Explore Petra Explore the
fabled lost city of Petra and learn about the history of the Nabateans. Anyone in good health should be able to take part in this comprehensive trip, there is no physical difficulty involved. Relatively short journey times make Jordan an ideal destination for a short tour and still manage to see a great many of Jordan's highlights. In Wadi Rum, desert tracks are rough and although we provide all necessary camping equipment (excluding sleeping bags) conditions are, as one would expect basic, with limited facilities.
