Discovering Israel & Jordan

Scroll

Walk the same streets that saw the rise of 3 major religions as well as immeasurable cultural and historical contributions. Indulge in modern seaside cityscapes, a world-class culinary scene and famous halva ice cream. If zipping through the cliff-scattered Wadi Rum desert on a 4×4 sounds like hard work, relaxing with an afternoon floating nap on the Dead Sea may be more your speed. Whether it is visiting the stunning desert fortress of Masada, travelling back in time through the winding streets of Jerusalem, or waking up to catch the sun-drenched facade of the rock-carved temple of Petra, your trip through the Holy Land will leave you filled with wonder.
