I’m really delighted to announce my latest venture, a unique tour of Jordan, led by yours truly and promoted via the Daily Telegraph here in the UK.

Click the links for more. It’s all pretty self-explanatory, and there is full extra detail and the complete itinerary on the Mosaic Holidays site (they are the ones handling bookings – apologies for their white-on-black text design).

After much discussion, Mosaic and I have pitched the tour at a Telegraph-style demographic – older, spirited, reasonably well off, first time to Jordan. It’s not the cheapest or the most physically demanding holiday out there, but within the constraints of time and logistics I think I’ve put together a pretty rewarding, inventive and wide-ranging itinerary that will cover many highlights and some unusual corners too. Above all, thanks to my close links with Jordan over the years, living in Amman and working on the Rough Guide to Jordan and other journalistic assignments, the idea is that my presence on this trip will deliver the kind of cultural insight that most other tours can’t touch.

Fingers crossed. I hope you can join me in 2014 and 2015!
