Jordan

"Jordan is not just a country; it's a home that welcomes you."

 

- Queen Rania of Jordan

Traveling in Jordan is a journey through a land where ancient history and breathtaking landscapes converge to create a truly magical experience. The rose-red city of Petra, with its intricate rock-cut architecture, stands as a testament to the ingenuity of the Nabataeans and is a highlight of any visit. The mystical Wadi Rum desert, with its otherworldly landscapes, offers the chance to camp under a blanket of stars and explore vast sand dunes and rocky outcrops.

 

Jordan's rich historical tapestry extends to the Roman ruins of Jerash, the Crusader castles of Ajloun and Karak, and the biblical sites of Mount Nebo and Bethany Beyond the Jordan. Meanwhile, the Dead Sea's buoyant waters provide a unique bathing experience, and the vibrant markets of Amman, with their tantalizing aromas and colorful wares, beckon travelers to explore the local culture.

 

Jordan's warm and welcoming people add a layer of hospitality that makes every visitor feel at home, and its cuisine, including the beloved dish of mansaf, is a delightful journey for the palate. Traveling in Jordan is an expedition through time and nature, where each moment is a revelation of the country's profound history and natural beauty.
