What's this trip about?
Some say the the time of romantic travelers has passed, but I disagree. Come with me, Jessica Pociask, owner of WANT Expeditions, to Jordan and find out why! Jordan has a rich cultural hertiage with incredible ruins dating back to well before the time of the Romans. Visit Petra, a rock hewn city that stretches over five miles and is one of the new Seven Wonders. Stand atop Mount Nebo and see where Moses looked over the promise land. Float in the Dead Sea. Explore Jerash, the most intact Roman city in the world. Take a step back in time as we visit wind swept crusader castles and walk in the steps of TE Lawrence in Wadi Rum. This year the Smithsonian Associates asked me to present a virtual tour of Petra to their members, but now I will personally take you beyond the guidebook through one of my favorite countries!
