Ten days. Three ancient lands. A journey that begins in Israel, where so much of the world's story began.<\/p>\r\n \r\n
Israel. From\u00a0the Mediterranean coast to the Judean Desert, and sacred Jerusalem spread below you from the Mt. of Olives, unchanged since the prophets stood there.\r\nJordan. Petra, an entire city carved into five square kilometres of mountainside, so vast and so complete that the reality of standing inside it stops you completely.\r\nEgypt. Standing at the foot of the Great Pyramids, exactly as you always imagined them.<\/p>\r\n \r\n
Some images never leave you.
