Cruise on the Red Sea – Egypt and Jordan

Countries steeped in history, Egypt and Jordan are veritable open-air museums which will astonish you with their imposing vestiges. Between the two countries, the Red Sea, this "long corridor of wonders" explored by Captain Cousteau in the 1950s, is a kind of link against a background of mineral landscapes where the colours change constantly at the whim of the light. This cruise on the Red Sea will introduce you to treasures which have been the inspiration of writers and explorers alike: the pharaonic constructions close to the Nile valley and the Biblical Sinai and its astonishing Monastery of St Catherine. In Jordan, the desert of Wadi Rum is closely associated with Lawrence of Arabia, whilst Petra and the ineffable beauty which emanates from it class it among the New Seven Wonders of the World.
