Trip Summary
2 nights in Petra
Petra the Rose Red City, the world wonder, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site is without doubt Jordan's most valuable treasure and greatest tourist attraction. It is a vast, unique city, carved into the sheer rock face by the Nabataeans, an industrious Arab people who settled here more than 2000 years ago, turning it into an important junction for the silk, spice and other trade routes. The Treasury is just the first of the many wonders that make up Petra. As you enter the Petra valley you will be overwhelmed by the natural beauty of this place and its outstanding architectural achievements.
Recommended Stay:At least 3 nights Must See`s:

The Dead Sea sits at the lowest point on the earth`s surface at 1,269 ft below sea level bordered by Jordan, Israel, and the West Bank. The Dead Sea has the highest level of salt content of any body of water in the world! Visitors can float freely in these magical healing waters and coat themselves in the mineral packed Dead Sea mud.

Amman, the capital of Jordan, is a fascinating city with a unique blend of old and new. Ideally situated on a hilly area between the desert and the fertile Jordan Valley.

Istanbul is one of the truly great romantic cities. Istanbul is home to a layering of civilization on civilization, of empire built on empire. A stroll through this historic city will reveal ancient Roman hippodromes, peristyles, and aqueducts, the greatest excesses of the Byzantine Empire and the mystique and power of the Ottoman Empire. In this sprawling, continent-spanning city you can tramp the streets where crusaders and janissaries once marched; admire mosques that are the most sublime architectural expressions of Islamic piety; peer into the sultan's harem; and hunt for bargains in the Kapali Çarsi.
Recommended Stay:At least 3 nights Must See`s:
Ayasofya,Topkapi Palace, Dolmabahce Palace, the Blue Mosque, the Grand Bazaar and the Egyptian Spice Bazaar, Suleymaniye Camii, St. Savior in Chora, the New Mosque, Galata Tower, Taksim Square, the Hippodrome and so much more!
Egypt is a fascinating country filled with famed ancient monuments such as the Pyramids and the Sphinx with a history dating back thousands of years. Witness some of the magnificent wildlife living along the Nile including rare birds such as spot squacco herons, hoopoes, and the mighty crocodiles. In the arid desert see Shiatta Gazelles and flamingos, and the vibrant coral reefs of Marsa Alam where mantas and dolphins swim.
Most likely people envision Jordan as a country within sight of `the Promised Land`, the land the Romans mightily conquered, the land Lawrence of Arabia fell in love with, the land of Crusades-era castles which still dot the sandy landscape. It`s the land of the nomadic Bedouins, who live from the land and who view camels as transportation and friend. Even though much of Jordan is covered in desert, the plants and animals that call this country home are sights to witness, in particular during the `desert bloom` at the beginning of May.
Apart from Russia, no other country can stake such a proud claim to bridging `the East and the West` like Turkey, which sits astride two continents. It is called the `Cradle of Civilization`, where there are more Roman archaeological sites than in all of Italy, and more ancient Greek ruins available for viewing by the public than in Greece. The history from the Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Ottomans, and finally the modern Turkish nation are all on display here, and the Turkish vacation experience can encompass everything from being in the hustle and bustle of a metropolis, to attending a whirling dervish dance ceremony, to sunning yourself on the country`s beautiful shores, to climbing mountains and skiing at top resorts, to enjoying an iconic hot-air balloon ride over the Fairy Chimneys of Cappadocia.
