Explore the archaeological treasures and dreamlike landscapes of Jordan, casting your eyes over vast sunbaked sand dunes, cool palm-fringed wadis and hidden cities carved from stone. Experience the stark beauty of Wadi Rum at sunset, and be mesmerised by the ancient rock city of Petra, one of the world's great archaeological wonders.

Head to Iran, a true cradle of civilisation, for an overwhelming bounty of World Heritage Listed sites, vibrant cultures and the gripping history of the Persian Empires. Marvel at the spectacular Islamic architecture of ancient cities, explore exquisite palaces, mosques and monuments, and hunt for colourful carpets in historic Silk Road bazaars.
