  • What are some things to see when in Jordan?

    Jordan is principally known as the site of Petra, a magnificent citadel carved directly from the face of a mountain by the Nabataean civilization around the second century BC. Wadi Rum (otherwise known as the Valley of the Moon) is a hauntingly beautiful expanse of desert where the nomadic Bedouin peoples still live, and whose hospitality to visitors is justifiably renowned. Camping in this scenic spot is an experience not to be missed. Jerash offers the opportunity to visit a well-preserved Roman outpost, where the ruts of chariot wheels are still visible in the cobbled streets, while Madaba features some incredible mosaics dating back to biblical times. For lovers of snorkeling, the port city of Aqaba features crystalline blue waters and thriving coral reefs.

  • How do you cross from Jordan to Israel?

    Because the border between Jordan and Israel is strictly controlled, you’ll need to pass through some portions of the immigration process on your own, with a VIP service member escorting you to meet your A&K representative once the required procedures are complete. Throughout the process, the VIP service stays in contact with your A&K representative to make sure your crossing proceeds without issues.

  • What do I need to know when visiting the Dead Sea?

    The Dead Sea is the lowest point on the planet, sitting some 1,300 feet below sea level. Due to high annual temperatures, low humidity and high atmospheric pressure, the region’s air is densely oxygenated and deeply refreshing to breathe. Highly rich in natural minerals and salts, the water of the sea itself is renowned for its potent anti-inflammatory properties. A restorative spa like no other, the Dead Sea beckons visitors to don a relaxing mud facial, float in its buoyant waters and enjoy a therapeutic treatment some 2,000 years in the making.
