trip to Jordan by Red rock tours

June 23, 2010 - PRLog -- Explore Um Qeis, a city rich with basalt ruins and overlooking the Jordan Valley, Golan Heights and Lake Tiberius (also known as the Sea of Galilee). See the village of Ajlun and its magnificent fortress before continuing on to Jerash, a well-preserved Greco-Roman city in the Middle East. You may skip the visit to Ajlun and instead walk to the newly restored hippodrome in Jerash, with its original stone seating and starting gates, a setting which provides an ideal arena for a thrilling spectacle exactly like the citizens of the Roman Empire enjoyed centuries ago. Watch an hour-long live performance of gladiators and chariot racing.

We will also go on a tour of the city of Amman and visit the ruins of the Amman amphitheater, the citadel and the Ummayad Palace before visiting the Dead Sea, the lowest point on the surface of the earth. We can also go for a Heritage Walk in Amman or go for spa treatments at the Dead Sea.

There will also be a visit to Madaba, “The City of Mosaics,” and Mount Nebo. During the trip, we will also visit the city of Petra on horseback. Watch as the mysteries of the Red Rose City unfold before us. We will also visit the city known as Little Petra and have leisure time at Aqaba, Jordan’s only outlet to the sea.
