Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime chance to take a “Royal Visit” to the spectacular Kingdom of Jordan, home to some of the most significant sites in human history.  


 


Walk in the footsteps of the prophets and stand on Mount Nebo, where Moses saw the Promised Land; or visit Bethany, the site where John the Baptist baptized Jesus.  Enjoy historical shows that are fun for the whole family, such as a roman chariot race and gladiators at the ancient city of Jerash.  Visit Petra, a World Heritage site and voted one of the “New Seven Wonders of the World” in a National Geographic poll.  Built by the Nabataeans over 2,000 years ago, Petra served as a crossroads of trade and commerce, and contains some of the most important archeological remains of the era.  At each of these wondrous sites, the winning bidders will be escorted on “behind-the-scenes” tours not available to the public and individually-designed to meet their family’s interests and sense of adventure.  


 


The South of Jordan offers opportunities to experience life as a nomadic Bedouin and explore the magnificent desert landscape of Wadi Rum.  Of course, Jordan also borders the Red Sea and we haven’t forgotten to allow for some relaxing beach time.  The trip will include a stay on the northern shores of the Dead Sea – the lowest point on earth, where you’ll have the opportunity to try revitalizing treatments using Dead Sea minerals and mud.  Conclude your visit with a stay in Jordan’s only port city of Aqaba for some swimming and beach fun on the Red Sea coast.


 


See this amazing country and its remarkable sites in a way that few are ever able to do!

This is a Live Event Item.
