the local women who are keeping the traditional process of making
pure Orjan olive soap alive. After your hike, travel to Jerash to
explore the ruins, which were re-discovered in 1806. Wander along

today, join a Jordanian cooking class at a local Al Qantara kitchen.

the Mars-like landscapes, passing by Lawrence Spring – a rocky
landscape contrasted by a freshwater spring with panoramic views
over the valley. You’ll also stop at Lawrence House – supposedly the
house where Lawrence of Arabia lived and stored his equipment.
Continue to one of the largest sand dunes in Wadi Rum and check
out some of the famous rock bridges. After, set up camp in Bedouinstyle tents. If you choose, you can even sleep in the open air,

Just south of town, the warm and shallow waters of the Red Sea is
home to a series of untouched coral reefs. Maybe grab a mask and
some flippers and explore the underwater world, take a walk along

Arabia’ fame) rode to Cairo with big news about a revolt.

This morning, travel along the King's Highway – a winding road that

shepherds as they tend their flocks in the few areas where there’s
water. Descend lower and lower until you eventually arrive on the
shores of the Dead Sea. When you arrive, put your swimwear on and
take a dip in the salty lake. While you’re here, maybe grab a handful
of the shoreline’s mud and slop it over your body – it’s full of

properties and will leave your skin feeling great. This evening,
maybe find a nearby restaurant and head out for dinner with your
fellow travellers.
