Travel along the King's Highway with stops en route to view the 6th-century mosaics in Madaba and Mount Nebo. As the sun sinks below the horizon, visit Wadi Rum where T. E. Lawrence, "Lawrence of Arabia," lived with his Bedouin friends and allies during World War I.

Major sites include the Treasury, the Temple of the Winged Lions, baths, markets, storerooms and tombs.
