In May 2014 we had a great holiday touring round Jordan. Starting in the capital Amman, we visited the Roman remains of the city of Jerash, as well as the Biblical sites of Mount Nebo and Madaba. Then after the imposing crusader castles of Kerak & Shobak, the highlight of the tour was Petra. Petra is spectacular. Two and a bit days was not enough time there! After Petra we went Camping in the Wadi Rum, which was different to what we were expecting as we had unseasonal thunderstorms. However the jeeps getting stuck in the flash floods was an added bit of fun! Exploring the Red Sea's coral reef at Aqaba and floating on the Dead Sea rounded off a short, varied and very enjoyable holiday.
