Your holiday starts in Amman, a modern and cosmopolitan city by the standards of the region with a chic contemporary cafe and culinary scene which sits alongside the chaotic souqs you'd expect of an Arab capital city. You'll be staying at the five star Le Meridien Hotel in the centre of town for the first three nights of the trip.Whilst staying in Amman, you'll make a number of day excursions taking you to the magnificent Greco Roman ruins of Pella and Umm Qais and the stunningly well preserved Roman city of Jerash.

Your stay here includes a day's tour of the main site to see the tombs, temples and palaces of the Nabatean civilisation as well as a visit to the suburb of 'Little Petra'.  Finally, you'll return to Amman by way of the stunning desert at Wadi Rum where you'll take a 4×4 around the vast sandstone rocks immortalised in Lawrence of Arabia.This offer is for five nights' accommodation in the Amman Le Meridien and two nights in the Marriott Petra.
