Additional Information
Spectacular desert landscapes dotted with caravans of camels, ancient
rose-colored cities rising out of the ground and nights under the stars in
Bedouin camps, this is Jordan at its best. This is a special departure
accompanied by honorary RCGS Vice President, writer, photographer, filmmaker,
and world-renowned explorer, Wade Davis. With degrees in anthropology and
biology, a Ph.D. in ethnobotany and travels everywhere from East Africa,
Borneo and Polynesia to Tibet, New Guinea and Vanuatu, Wade is the ultimate
travel companion and will be on hand to share insights, stories, and
photographic tips and tricks throughout.
As seen on documentaries and television across the world, Wade will be on
hand as you get to know Jordan and truly appreciate what this time locked
land has to offer on this in-depth journey. Take in world-famous monuments
such as Petra and Jerash and then spend time exploring the less well-known
historic and archaeological treasures. Watch centuries of history come to
life in the Desert Loop, home to palaces and forts dating back to 661 AD.
Visit the biblical Mount Nebo where Moses was shown The Promised Land before
his death. Take in the impossibly vast landscapes of Wadi Rum and spend a
night in a Bedouin Camp. Relax with a float in the Dead Sea, and snorkel
alongside a myriad of colorful fish in the Red Sea. From start to finish
you’ll be treated to a perfect mix of history, adventure, and relaxation.
