There are few places in the world quite as surreal as the annual international arms fair in Amman, Jordan. This vast display is hosted by King Abdullah of Jordan and is attended by the world’s generals, dictators and other assorted people in need of the latest killing machines on the international market, as well as those who are more than happy to sell their wares. This is the place where the men who usually hide in the shadows come to see and be seen – this is the YPT Business of War tour, and business is booming!
Kicking off in the wild city of Amman, we will first explore this hectic, fascinating and ancient city before spending two days at the mother of all arms shows which happens every two years and, after the fun we had last time, boy were we eager for 2020. Royalty from all over the Middle East will be in attendance, there will be displays from military forces neutralizing mock enemy forces featuring helicopters, explosions, and gunfire that will convince you that you are in a war zone. We will have the chance to examine and try out the latest military technology on the market and rub shoulders with some very ‘’interesting’’ individuals.
When the show is over, it doesn’t end there, we then set off to explore one of the seven wonders of the world, Petra, a mind-blowing hidden town literally carved out of desert cliffs, which was created in 312 BC and remained hidden from Western eyes until the 19th century. We will then round off the tour with Bedouin tribesmen, camel rides and an adrenaline fuelled day tearing through the desert in a 4×4 vehicle!
This tour can be booked as a standalone tour or in combined with our Alternative Egypt tour.
