🇯🇴 Appointment with Death

Follow in the footsteps of Agatha Christie through the ancient landscapes, extraordinary history and unforgettable beauty of Jordan.

Inspired by Appointment with Death, this journey takes you into a world of ancient cities, dramatic desert landscapes and legendary archaeological treasures — with the magnificent rose-red city of Petra at its heart.

Your adventure could begin in Amman, Jordan’s lively capital, before travelling south through landscapes that seem made for an Agatha Christie mystery. Explore ancient Roman ruins at Jerash, discover the remarkable desert castles and experience the changing scenery as you head towards the south.

Then comes Petra — one of the world’s great archaeological wonders. Walk through the narrow Siq before the Treasury suddenly appears between the rose-coloured cliffs. Spend time exploring the ancient Nabataean city, perhaps returning later in the day to experience Petra in a completely different light.

From Petra, continue into the spectacular Wadi Rum, where towering sandstone mountains and endless desert create an unforgettable landscape. Travel by 4×4, enjoy a Bedouin-inspired experience and perhaps spend a night beneath the stars.

And there is another side to Jordan too. Relax beside the Dead Sea, float in its mineral-rich waters and enjoy some time unwinding after your desert adventures.

Your Appointment with Death could include:

🇯🇴 Amman — Jordanian culture, markets and historic sights
🏛️ Jerash — spectacular Roman ruins

🏜️ Wadi Rum — desert landscapes and Bedouin experiences
🌊 Dead Sea — relaxation and the famous mineral-rich waters

You could create a classic Jordan touring holiday, combine the major archaeological sites with luxury hotels and private guides, or slow the pace down with extra time in the desert and beside the Dead Sea.

The story provides the inspiration. Jordan provides the setting. Your adventure is yours to create.
