If you can't get your classic car shipped over for the Sept. 14 start, then for $5,800 you can join as a passenger, including flights, accommodation and events. The whole shebang ends with a black-tie dinner in Jerash. Expect five-star accommodation every night, as well as traditional Arabic and Bedouin cuisine.
