INDEPENDENT luxury operator Mosaic Holidays has unveiled its first-ever standalone Jordan brochure –the only one of its kind in the UK.
Previously the operator featured Jordan within its Egypt brochure, however thanks to escalating demand for the destination, managing director Sabina Shaida decided the time was right to launch it as a separate programme.
She said: “Jordan is often sold as a touring destination but it’s difficult to see the real country on a whirlwind visit, and there is so much to see. From the fertile Jordan Valley to the wilderness of Wadi Rum to the mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea, there is so much to choose from – it’s a truly awe-inspiring country.”
One of the main highlights of Jordan is Petra, the vast ancient city carved into a sheer rock face, and lost to the west for more than 30 years, before being rediscovered by a Swiss traveller, Johann Ludwig Burckhardt.
However there is more to Jordan than Petra, such as Amman, the country’s capital where modern commercial businesses rub shoulders with traditional artisan workshops; the ancient city of Jesrah which is considered to be one of the best preserved Roman provincial towns in the world; world-class diving in Aqaba; Mount Nebo where Moses is said to have seen the Promised Land, and Wadi Rum the largest and most magnificent of Jordan’s desert landscapes where Lawrence of Arabia fought the Ottomans.
Mosaic Holidays offers flights from its partners Royal Jordanian, Monarch Airlines and Egypt Air.
