Jordan Photography Holiday

There has never been a better time to visit Jordan and the iconic Petra due to the very limited number of tourists who will visit this year. Not only will this make visits with our small group of 6 more pleasurable, it will also open up amazing opportunities for photography at iconic locations, such as Jerash, Salt, Petra and Wadi Rum. Currently Jordan is on the UK amber list and with its relatively high vaccination rates it is likely to stay there; which means you will not need to quaratine on your return home. This Jordan photography holiday is designed to maximise our photography time and is suitable for clients with medium fitness and all levels of photography.

GO SLOW ON THE KINGS HIGHWAY

The Kings Highway is an ancient road that connects Syria with Aqaba. It was used by traders, pilgrims, the Roman army and muslims who used it to go on Hadjj to Mecca. It’s a scenic, curvy and thus slow speed road. It passes the viewpoint at the Mujib dam, between Madaba and Kerak. One hour further south you’ll stop to visit the Crusader castle of Kerak.
