“Man Fears Time, Time Fears The Pyramids”

Cairo to Amman

From our morbid fascination with "mummies" to our wonder at the serene beauty of Tutankhamun's death mask, the ingenious construction of the Pyramids and the monumental splendour of the Valley of the Kings, it is true to say that no other ancient civilisation captures our imagination in the same way as Ancient Egypt. Although a relative "new build" compared to the pyramids, setting eyes for the first time on the ancient city of Petra in Jordan is an equally humbling and inspiring experience. As well as historic monuments, Jordan is home to spectacular natural attractions and no one should miss the desert landscape of Wadi Rum.
