Kingdoms
& Crusades
Amman to Cairo or
Cairo to Amman
Jordan, Syria, Egypt
Following the complex interwoven
tapestry of colour, culture, politics
and history that is the Middle East, this
tour takes you back to a time of kingdoms, crusades
and ancient civilisations. Explore the Arabian Middle
East in real depth. From Amman with the Dead Sea
and Petra - the Red Rose city, to Syria with its
wealth of ancient cities, endless desert plains and
bustling markets. Start or finish this tour in Egypt,
where the ancient monuments still fascinate us with
their grand architecture. There is plenty of time for
action too - try snorkelling on the Red Sea reefs,
floating on the Dead Sea or perhaps a camel safari
in the Egyptian sand dunes.
