New Jordan Tour by EF Go Ahead: History, Culture & Nature
EF Go Ahead Tours is set to introduce its first tour dedicated to Jordan, starting in April 2024. Tapping into the growing interest of travelers in exploring lesser-visited regions, the “Jordan History & Culture: Amman, Petra, and the Dead Sea” tour promises an immersive journey into Jordan’s rich history, culture, and natural wonders.
This small group tour will guide travelers to explore remarkable ancient sites, including the UNESCO-listed Petra, as well as the captivating natural beauty of locations such as the Wadi Rum desert and the unique Dead Sea. Moreover, participants will have the chance to engage with the local culture through hands-on experiences, such as a soap-making class at a women-supported cooperative and a calligraphy lesson.
Each EF Go Ahead Tours itinerary covers all essential transfers and accommodations, allowing travelers to savor free time for personal exploration in between group meals and guided tours.
