JORDAN EXPLORER

A Photographic Expedition with David Samuel Robbins
March 18 - 31, 2022
​
Group size limited to 10.
Join David Samuel Robbins on an in-depth, 14-day cultural and photographic journey through the fascinating Kingdom of Jordan.

This program offers an expertly curated survey of the very best of Jordan, exploring both the ancient and modern dimensions of this compact yet remarkably multi-faceted, visually stunning and utterly unique country. 

From Amman, Jordan's bustling, modern capital city to the serenity of world-class ecolodges deep in the desert, and onward to the sprawling, epic ruins of Petra, we will traverse both space and time, moving through varied, gorgeous landscapes and over 25 centuries of incredibly rich history.
Over the ages, Jordan has been ruled by Nabatean, Christian and Muslim empires, each of which has left a rich legacy of monumental architecture and ornate religious iconography for us to explore. 

We will tour grand Roman ruins, long-abandoned Crusader castles and historic Greek Orthodox churches.  We will stand atop Mount Nebo, where according to biblical lore, Moses first gazed upon Canaan, The Promised Land. In Wadi Rum, we spend two nights in the futuristic "Martian Dome" luxury hotel pods, with astounding views of the desert night sky.

Premium accommodations, superb Western and Middle Eastern cuisine (including a private traditional Arab cooking class) and fantastic photographic opportunities round out this unforgettable experience.

Politically stable and famously hospitable, Jordan is rapidly emerging as one of the world's most intriguing destinations for the intrepid adventure traveler.
