Planning a trip to Jordan? Don’t miss Madaba, the City of Mosaics. Home to the famous 6th-century Madaba Mosaic Map and incredible Byzantine-era artwork, this historic city offers museums, churches, and hands-on mosaic experiences just a short drive from Amman. Explore top sites, learn the city’s rich history, and experience one of Jordan’s most culturally significant destinations.
If ever there was an ‘Am I Still on Planet Earth?’ sort of a desert, it’s Wadi Rum. Mention Jordan to 20-to-30-something adventurers, and many will tell you that the country begins and ends right here.
I’ve just returned from Egypt, and I wanted to tell you a little bit about my tour. Although I have travelled to Egypt several times before, this was my first time since I started working for Egypt Uncovered. I joined the Nile Explorer tour on the 23rd May and what a great time I had!
After selling Jordan tours for many years and having to cancel 2 previous trips, I finally made it to Jordan this year and it was definitely worth the wait!
Having worked in the UK reservations office for the last 4 months and from my training and research into this tour I thought that I knew all there was to know about the itinerary and what to expect. What I didn’t count on and what made my experience surprising and exceptional were the people I encountered.
Egypt was a milestone for me in many ways. It was the 10th country that I have explored and my first time in the continent of Africa.
