Petra

A far cry from the lush green meadows of England,
scenes of sandstone dominate every view as you journey
through Jordan in search of the “lost city” of Petra. Along
the way, explore Wadi Rum, or “the Valley of the Moon,”
whose landscapes cut into the sandstone and granite rock,
peppered with prehistoric cave paintings and temples.
Then you’ll make your way to Petra. Though one of the
most revered UNESCO World Heritage Sites, its popularity
is a relatively new phenomenon. After first serving as the
thriving capital of the Nabataean empire, the city sat in
near ruin for centuries, lost to the Western world until the
early 1800s. Cap off your journey in Petra by learning about
the Bedouin, the nomadic Arab people who call Wadi Rum
their home, through an interesting lecture by one of our
esteemed experts.
