The highlights of Egypt and Jordan. Although these two Arabic Countries are side by side they are totally different.

Experience Jordan with the Dead Sea and its healing waters at lowest spot on earth at 1,306 feet below sea level, and Petra (the Red Rose city) with a 2km entry through the Siq, the only access to this city carved out of rose colored rock.
