Our Jordan photography tour 'Land of the Ancient World' will take place in January 2025 and will be led by Charlie Waite.

This remarkably small and diverse country will provide us with multiple opportunities to explore its rugged beauty, dramatic landscapes and breathtakingly impressive ancient ruins. During the tour, we will visit and photograph one of the best-preserved ancient Roman cities - Jerash, with its ruins set in a stunningly dramatic landscape on a plain surrounded by hilly woodland.

Jordan Photography Tour - Land of the Ancient World

Jordan Photography Tour - Land of the Ancient World
The Jordanian capital Amman, originally built on seven hills, is our first stop. Its cosmopolitan side contrasts against the ancient citadel, which is situated in the old city centre on a hillside and overlooks this impressive city. 

One of the highlights of our tour will be making images of the desert of Wadi Rum with its lunar-like landscape made of monolithic outcrops of granite and sandstone rocks. For many, Wadi Rum will bring memories of the great David Lean film 'Lawrence of Arabia'. Wadi Rum will present us with a multitude of photographic opportunities and will not disappoint.

We will visit the infamous rose red city of Petra, where we will have ample time to explore and make images of this magnificent location that changes colour as the day goes by, its multitude of tombs carved into the multi-coloured rock face and the dramatic mountainous scenery surrounding the site. Nothing can prepare you for the ‘full on’ Petra experience, the Nabatean jewel of Jordan, rightly now regarded as a ‘wonder of the world’.

After Petra, we will descend via the Wadi Araba desert to 400 metres below sea level to the Dead Sea with its incredible salt encrustations, and hopefully have time for a float in this remarkable sea.

Our Jordan photography tour is designed for landscape photographers. There will never be any rush, and Charlie will be keen to introduce and assist his guests with all things related to photography in pursuit of returning home with rewarding images that embrace the spirit of this wonderful country.

Luxury Editions

Essentially, a Luxury Editions tour is an exclusive micro learning group with five star tuition and treatment in all aspects of the tour. Each year a small number of ‘Luxury Editions’ tours will run where the group numbers no more than four photographers per tutor. Here the learning approach is more intensive where the leader is able to offer constant ‘hands-on guidance’ allowing them an opportunity to work in depth with each individual photographer in addition to working with the group on a collective basis. In addition to this, the accommodation will be of a high standard and special extras will be included. These tours are only taught by our long standing leaders who have years of experience and are highly sought after. If you would like to join a Luxury Edition tour, then the requirement would simply be a complete understanding of the workings of the camera and the desire and commitment needed to attend the workshop.

Off the Beaten Track

Our 'Off the Beaten Track' tours cater for those more adventurous photographers who would like to get off the beaten track and explore roads untrodden or delve into the culture of a place. Groups are small and you can be assured that although the tour leader will have an in-depth knowledge of the location, you may veer off track if an unplanned photography opportunity presents itself! The tuition is five star on these tours. The accommodation varies on these tours from mid range hotels, shared cabins on a ship to basic and clean camps. Our priority is to get you to the best locations in time for the best shot and if this means camping half way up a mountain then so be it! Our 'Off the Beaten Track' tutors will have experience and knowledge of the area, so you can be assured that you will be completely taken care off to allow you to concentrate on that award winning image. If you would like to join an ‘Off the Beaten Track’ tour, then a good knowledge of your camera would be an advantage, but not essential, and the desire and commitment needed to attend the workshop. We do also ask that you have a good level of fitness as these tours could involve a large amount of walking. Check each tours description for requirements.

Classic

Our Classic tours are aimed at those who wish to discover unique locations, but at a more leisurely pace than the Off the Beaten Track tours. There will be ample time to immerse yourself in the location and spend time on your photography. Classic tours also focus on sunrise and sunset (which are optional for those who like to sleep in!) and have a slightly larger group size (max 8 per tutor) to allow the social side of photography to be appreciated. Tuition is five star and hotels are mid-high range depending on the tour. Every classic tour is different so do refer to the tour description for details of accommodation and locations visited. If you would like to join a ‘Classic’ tour, then a good knowledge of your camera would be an advantage, but not essential, and the desire and commitment needed to attend the workshop. Fitness levels required vary depending on the tour so do check the exertion level under the description tab.

We have a range of tours catering to various styles of photography including People/Street, Intentional Camera Movement, Iphoneography or Architectural photography.

Our tutors have an in-depth knowledge of the location and will take you to undiscovered spots to ensure you come away with a varied selection of images that you are proud of. If you would like to join a ‘City’ tour, the requirement would simply be a complete understanding of the workings of the camera and the desire and commitment needed to attend the workshop. Fitness levels required vary depending on the tour so do check the exertion level under the description tab.

Easy - most locations are arrived at by vehicle, and most subjects and viewpoints are within easy reach. No particular level of fitness is required.

Moderate - these tours involve some walking, perhaps sometimes in towns, or on well developed trails. There may be a limited amount of uphill walking. Please advise if you have any fitness concerns.

Strenuous - these are tours which may include demanding levels of walking, including some prolonged or steep ascents and descents. Rough terrain (off the beaten track) may well be encountered. A reasonable level of fitness is required for these trips.
