The Road of the Kings
The Tariq al-Sultani—Road of Kings—winds its way 1200 kilometers along the mountains that separate the Dead Sea from the desert high plateaus.
It follows the old route of the Hebrews led by Moses. The Bible refers to this road for the first time.
In this episode, we will cross the Edom Region, Jordan, and Syria on the trails of caravans of Egyptian wines, Sudanese gold, and Arabic incenses.
About Mythical Roads:
Whether remote or packed with tourists, recent or old, famous or forgotten, certain routes are paved with legends. This series explores itineraries that have made history across five continents—some roads and rivers that separated countries, and others that formed links, creating pathways for traders, fortune-seekers, evangelists, conquerors, and travelers. As historical symbols, these routes now ignite the imaginations of millions of people in search of adventure and freedom.
The original and poetic approach of this series casts a new light on these mythical roads. Throughout the journey, the routes unfold through the eyes of the men and women who live and work along them, and who continue to sustain the legends.
Personal adventures alternate with extraordinary explorations, unforgettable encounters, and surprising developments.
