Jordan is a land of extraordinary depth — where Nabataean rock cities, Roman ruins, crusader castles, and sites sacred to all three Abrahamic faiths exist side by side. On this Muslim Friendly group trip you visit the rose-red city of Petra, spend a night under the stars in the lunar landscape of Wadi Rum, float effortlessly in the Dead Sea, and explore the ancient city of Jerash. Our guide is fluent in Dutch and deeply knowledgeable about the Islamic and prophetic significance of the sites we visit. All meals are halal and prayer times are embedded in every day's planning.
