In the footsteps of Lawrence of Arabia…
The Hashemite kingdom will welcome you as distinguished guests. Hospitality is no myth here. You’ll probably be offered a cardamom coffee to start your journey.
Ride a camel through Wadi Rum, following in the footsteps of Lawrence of Arabia from the port of Aqaba to the oasis of Azraq. Discover colors as warm as sand, as evidenced by the names that have been given to its places: Petra the Rose, Amman the White, and the fabulous Red Sea that frames this country along with the Dead Sea.
