7/10. Jordan to Ethiopia. Dan Cruickshank turns Indiana Jones as he hunts for the legendary Ark of the Covenant, riding a donkey along a precipitous gorge to reach the city of Petra in Jordan, facing a Guardian Monk and scaling the vertical cliff face of Debre Damo in Ethiopia as part of his quest. Also visiting the Holy Lands of Israel and Palestine he has the chance to be cleansed of all shame by an ancient relic - but will it help him find the Ark?
