The following are the heritage sites, grouped into recommended gateway cities. This may help in planning on the logistics (travel and accommodation) of your journey.

AMMAN, JORDAN (AMM)

Amman, the hilly “White City” and capital of Jordan, is a sprawling metropolis where 9,000 years of history meet a sophisticated, modern Levantine pulse. The city is more accessible than ever via the newly expanded Bus Rapid Transit network and a surge of direct flights into Queen Alia International Airport (AMM). Visitors gather at the Amman Citadel for sunset views over the Roman Theater, then dive into the bustling Al-Balad (Downtown) for authentic mansaf and kunafa. With its trendy rooftop lounges in Abdali and the artsy vibe of Rainbow Street, Amman serves as an energetic, hospitable gateway to the wonders of the Dead Sea and Petra.

Ancient Jericho/Tell es-Sultan (alternative to Tell Aviv-Yafo (Israel)).

TEL AVIV-YAFO, ISRAEL (TLV)

Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel’s “Non-Stop City,” is a sun-drenched Mediterranean metropolis where high-tech innovation meets 4,000 years of history. The city pulses with energy, from the vibrant Carmel Market to the UNESCO-listed White City, home to the world’s largest collection of Bauhaus architecture. Travelers lounge on golden beaches like Gordon and Frishman, then wander through the ancient, winding stone alleys of Old Jaffa. Renowned as a global culinary capital, Tel Aviv offers a world-class vegan scene and iconic street eats like sabich and falafel. With its legendary nightlife and liberal spirit, it remains the ultimate Middle Eastern cultural playground.
