Jordan is a fascinating desert kingdom and a veritable treasure trove of remarkable landscapes and vistas. A journey though the Hashemite Kingdom takes you from olive-strewn northern hills dotted with crusader castles, to parched deserts cut with dramatic red sandstone cliffs in the south, via the Dead Sea, a mysterious lake of bright turquoise, and the canyons of Petra, into the walls of which an ancient civilisation built its capital city over 2,000 years ago.
One of the most fascinating countries on earth, Lebanon is the crossroads of civilization, history, religion and culture.
