For full tour itineraries, please visit us online at www.mercuryholidays.co.uk/tours MIDDLE EAST & AFRICA 93 travel further south to the undulating desert dunes of Wadi Rum where you’ll embark on a scenic Jeep safari. Described by T.E Lawrence as ‘vast, echoing and godlike’, the locals refer to the untamed sea of red sand as the ‘Valley of the Moon’. In a land where the sun beams over imposing rock formations, breath-taking crimson mountains and carpets of untouched sand dunes, soak in awe-inspiring vistas in this otherworldly territory. In the midst of this ethereal kingdom, enjoy a unique overnight stay in an authentic desert camp. DAY 6: WADI RUM TO THE DEAD SEA B/D Transfer from Wadi Rum to the Dead Sea and spend the rest of your day at leisure, providing the perfect opportunity for relaxation. Alternatively, take a trip to the shores of the iconic Dead Sea in the Jordan Rift Valley. Submerged at a dramatic 400 metres below sea level, the lowest point on the face of the earth, this vast stretch of water is 304 metres deep and is renowned as the deepest hypersaline lake in the world; by the time the waters reach the Dead Sea, they are land-locked, resulting in evaporation which leaves behind a dense cocktail of salts and minerals. A fascinating phenomenon occurs here where you can float on the salty waters and also cover yourself in its rejuvenating black mud, making for a truly unique experience. DAY 7: DEAD SEA B/D Take another day to relax on the Dead Sea, or explore this area of incredible colour and beauty, before this evening’s farewell dinner. DAY 8: DEAD SEA TO THE UK B After breakfast transfer to Amman for your return flight back to the UK or continue on to your chosen extension.
