This itinerary traces the history of the significant Mediterranean civilisations, all of whom left their mark in these countries. In Jordan visit the biblical sites of Madaba and Mt Nebo, the legendary city of Petra, the remains of Classical Jerash and explore the desert vastness of Wadi Rum. In Syria take in the headline sights of Palmyra, Damascus, Aleppo and Crac Des Chevaliers and also visit the fantastic amphitheatre of Bosra and the Basilica of St Simeon. Combining desert and mountain scenery with such a breadth of history makes this a trip for the connoisseur.
