After breakfast, start your tour of the capital city with a visit to the citadel, the archeological museum, the restored Roman Theater still used for events today, and old and new parts of Amman. Then drive north to visit one of the best preserved Roman towns in the world - Jerash. Explore the ruins and architectural wonders including the colonnaded street also called Maximus Cardo where you can still see roadways with original stone showing the ruts from the chariots. Continue the tour with a drive to visit Ajloun Castle, an awe-inspiring Islamic fortress that withstood the power of the Crusader armies in the 12th Century. Climbing the narrow staircases and walking through endless hallways takes you back to a time of chivalry and faith, where you can almost imagine the sounds of battling iron and the sight of the raging battlefield.

DAY

Tabuk to Wadi Disah & AlUla

Head south to Wadi Disah, one of Saudi Arabia’s most spectacular natural attractions. Loosely translated as the Valley of the Palm Trees, the beautiful valley is characterized by mountain forms and tall rocky columns in various colors, as well as freshwater springs which create a real oasis feeling. Explore the area on 4x4 for an off road adventure and also on foot to get a closer look at the archaeological sites. Enjoy lunch served under the fruit trees at a nearby fruit farm. Next stop: AlUla, home to Saudi Arabia’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site. Situated deep in the desert, the draw to AlUla is its remarkable natural rock formations and canyons, extensive and varied pre-Arabic rock art, and immaculately preserved tombs built more than 2,000 years ago by the Nabataeans, and for most travelers the biggest highlight of their Saudi adventure. Arriving in AlUla before sunset leaves ample scope for a visit to Elephant Rock. Set in golden desert sands and climbing into the blue Arabian skies, the rock (also known as Jabal Alfil) is one of AlUla’s most impressive geological marvels. It is interesting to see how the AlUla local government gave the natural site an arty vibe with their design make-over.

DAY

Exploring Hegra & AlUla

You’ll start the day with a visit to the Nabataean site of Hegra, which was the southern capital of the Nabataean kingdom, dating back to the first century BCE. Today, visitors follow their ‘rawee’ or storyteller, to explore several of the more than 100 well-preserved monumental tombs, most with elaborate facades carved from rock formations scattered around the desert. Next, head to AlUla historical old town, an ancient place that once sat at the crossroads of the Silk Road and the Incense Route, and one that rewards a leisurely stroll. Beyond the old town in the wadi or valley are numerous farms where lush palm trees sway gently and the smell of citrus fills the fresh air, adding to the oasis-feeling that AlUla still retains. Take a walk and follow the winding and shaded Oasis Heritage Trail, pass colorful vegetable fields, hear birds and imagine how the nomads of the past found water and refuge from the desert here. Exit the oasis to find a refreshed area called Al Jadindah, also known as ‘the new or art town’ which has a colorful vibe with street art and exhibits spread out in its walking streets, making for a great stroll with numerous options for a drink on a terrace, watching the world go by while the sun changes the colors of the towering cliffs around. The remaining afternoon is at leisure. Enjoy the facilities of your hotel or continue your exploration of AlUla’s landscapes with an optional activity such as a hot air balloon ride (in season) or hike to better soak in the vistas.

AlUla to Medinah & Jeddah

Travel from AlUla through the desert and mountains to Medinah, along an ancient pilgrimage route. Medinah is one of the two holiest cities in Islam (the other is Mekkah), Medinah is centered around Al Masjid an Nabawi, a 10-minaret giant mosque that can accommodate 1 million people. Walk around the outside region of the mosque and watch pilgrims visiting. Next, visit the Madinah Art Center which is under the Madinah Region Development Authority and houses contemporary Islamic themed art. Both Saudi and regional artists, male and female are showcased. In the afternoon, board one of Saudi Arabia’s state-of-the-art high-speed trains to make the short (under 2 hours) transfer to the coastal city of Jeddah, a commercial hub sitting to the west along the Red Sea with the second busiest seaport in the Middle East. Jeddah is perceived to be the most liberal city in Saudi Arabia and is a popular tourist destination, offering the beauty of ancient architecture mixed with the latest luxuries. Celebrate your arrival with sunset drinks on the city’s attractive corniche. Take a stroll along the seafront, which feels like an outdoor museum with the many modern sculptures, and spread out your ‘takwa’, the smart Saudi picnic seat to enjoy a drink.

Exploring Jeddah

Start the day at the Tayebat museum to gain background on Jeddah. After visiting a selection of what is on display, let’s head out to the Central Fish Market. The Red Sea puts local seafood at the forefront. Squid, shrimp, lobster and a great variety of fish, some only native to the Red Sea, are all fresh and sold here. Enjoy a seafood lunch in a nearby restaurant. In the afternoon visit the atmospheric old town Al Balad, which achieved UNESCO World Heritage status in 2014. Its traditional multi storey buildings and merchant houses are an architectural treasure trove. Visiting Al Balad is like a dive back in time with the buzz of trading, pilgrims shopping and the occasional tourist mixed in. Have your guide take you out for one final taste of Saudi cuisine before you can say ‘ma al salama’, goodbye, until next time.’

His knowledge, professionalism, and dedication make my job as a travel advisor so much easier.

Our 2-week trip to Normandy, Switzerland and Italy after we disembarked from the Queen Mary 2 in Southampton in mid-May was superb. Michael Keon did an amazing job of putting together highlights for us to see and visit with the short time we had. All the train reservations, private and small group tours and transportations were very well coordinated, on time, and usually exceeded our expectations. Drivers were courteous and knowledgeable. Mike did a wonderful job getting everything coordinated, in spite of our almost “last minute” booking. I booked a month-long trip through GOWAY back in 1989 for Australia, New Zealand and Fiji, and they were superb then. So I tried them again, and found the entire organization to be even better. Mike was quick to respond to any questions that came up regarding booksings and times, regardless of the 6-hour time difference. Just superb! Although we had a nasty experience in Milan, GOWAY was very responsive and saw to our requests and our needs. Again, Michael Keon is the person who coordinated our travel. I will ask for Mike when I travel again with GOWAY. I recommend GOWAY highly. PJ Wheeler

I recently went on an African Safari with my brother-in-law and sister and another couple who I knew. The entire experience was absolutely unbelievable. The complete details were flawlessly coordinated from the transfers to the breathtaking lodges. Our guides Peter showed us Kenya and Maulid Tanzania were very knowledgeable and very sharp eyes for finding the animals. We were able to see the animals up close, learn a lot about the people, birds , vegetation etc. We had several sundowners in the bush really added to a magical experience with beautiful sunsets. I would highly recommend Goway to all my friends, they will not be disappointed. Thank you to Bijal for the excellent African Safari that you put together for us. You were wonderful.Nancy Hay

What do I love about Japan? In a word - EVERYTHING. The incredible contrast that Japan offers - new/innovative vs old/traditional, the warm and welcoming people, the incredible rich culture, the culinary wonders awaiting around every corner, the cleanliness, efficiency and safety. It's one of the best places to visit in Asia in my opinion.
