Relax and float in the mineral-rich waters of the Egyptian Dead Sea and step into the colourful underwater world of Aqaba. Our specially designed journeys highlight the very best that Jordan can offer, from cultural tours and cultural attractions to outdoor activities and relaxation trips for all types of travellers.
