The Middle East is living, breathing proof of an old maxim: you don’t know, until you go.

Forget the headlines and the hyperbole; this is the cradle of civilizations, an ancient land emerging as a modern power, with the money, culture and panache to back it up. Ride camels with Bedouin tribespeople across the dunes of the Sahara, haggle for gold in the souqs of downtown Amman, marvel at the Blue Mosque on a Turkey trip, cruise the Nile beneath the white sail of a felucca or float forever in the mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea. Wherever you go, three things will follow: the faint scent of cloves and camel, the echoing call to prayer and the smiles of people that call this place home.

Our tour Leader, Yazan was highly knowledgeable in the history of the Middle East and Jordan. I can’t imagine a more educated Leader. Jordan is a safe country with friendly people. I would recommend to travel to Jordan with Intrepid Travel.
