Tour description
Jordan is a country steeped in history with dramatic landscapes, memorable excursions, and fringing reefs offering unspoilt diving. Many will know of the ancient city of Petra, but you will also find drammatic castles, Roman remains and biblical sites. There is plenty to keep even the most active occupied. From the dramatic scenary of Wadi Rum to the spectacular color reefs of Aqaba. All the dive sites in Jordan are located very close to the shore line so both boat and shore diving access the same sites, it is just a matter of which mode of transport is preferred. There is some especially exciting diving close to the Saudi border where you will find deep walls only very recently discovered! There is also one of the best wreck dives in the Red Sea here, the 'Cedar Pride' - this is an astonishing dive!!

In the commercial heart of the city, ultra-modern buildings, art galleries and boutiques rub shoulders comfortably with traditional coffee shops and tiny artisans' workshops. The people of Amman are multi-cultural, multi-denominational, well-educated and extremely hospitable.

The Dead Sea is the lowest spot on earth - 1300 feet below sea level. The Dead Sea is 75 km long, ranges from 6 to 16 km wide and has no outlet. The high salt content makes any plant and animal life impossible. The high concentration of salt is not a result of it being below sea level, but rather is caused by the high evaporation rate, which has, over the years, led to the build up of salts. For centuries, people have flocked to the Dead Sea to enjoy the benefits of soaking in its mineral-rich, salt filled waters. Cleopatra recognized the cosmetic benefits of the Dead Sea.
