You’ll then enjoy a camel trek and snorkel on the shores of the Red Sea at charming Dahab.

Crossing the Red Sea by ferry you journey straight to Wadi Rum to camp Bedouin-style beneath the towering canyons that were once the desert hideout of Lawrence of Arabia. Discovering the legendary rock-cut city of Petra is a definite highlight of the trip, and the journey culminates with an enchanting stay in the remote nature reserve at Dana and a visit to the Dead Sea.
