Jewels of the Middle East
Syria, Jordan and Lebanon

Led by Dr. Chahinda Karim
of the American University in Cairo
October 2010 and Fall 2012


Journey through thousands of years of history in lands settled since Neolithic times.

Experience magnificent landscapes, souks with unmatched treasure troves, and the archaeological remains of some of antiquity’s greatest monuments. Explore the grand ruins of Palmyra, Syria’s “oasis city”, the vast splendor of Petra - the rock - cut Nabatean archaeological wonder, and Ebla and Ugarit whose ancient archives revealed the world from which the Bible emerged.

In addition to a wealth of important archaeological sites, mosaic masterpieces, ancient cities and trade routes, castles, churches, Greco-Roman ruins, and Crusader castles, Jordan and Syria offer some of the most breathtaking vistas and desert landscapes to be had anywhere on Earth. Join us for a medley of past and present that seeks to experience the beauty, and understand the history of these “Jewels of the Middle East”.

This is our 15th year working in Jordan and Syria
