Welcome
to
Jordan
The
interlacing
of
unique
sites
across
the land
is but a
small
reflection
of the
rich and
vast
cultural
heritage
of the
Kingdom...
because
for
10,000
years,
travelers
have
marveled
the
majestic
archaeological
sites
and
natural
wonders
of
hospitable
Jordan.
Since
then,
visitors
have
continued
to be
enchanted,
mystified,
and
captivated
by the
famous
rose-red
Nabatean
city of
Petra;
the
Graeco-Roman
temples
and
cities;
Crusader
and
Umayyad
castles;
the
spectacular
desert
made
famous
by
Lawrence
of
Arabia;
innumerable
biblical
sites
identified
with
Job,
Moses,
Elijah,
John the
Baptist,
and
Jesus
Christ;
the Red
Sea; the
Dead
Sea; and
the
capital
city of
Amman -
a
fascinating
mixture
of
ancient
and
modern
contrasts.
And
Jordan
because...
It
offers
venues
unparalleled
anywhere
else in
the
world:
special
events
and
theme
parties;
a wide
selection
of
adventures,
from 4 x
4 trips
through
the
desert
to
climbing,
hiking,
and
camel
caravans;
diving
in the
clear
waters
of the
Red Sea;
and
"Green
Tourism"
through
protected
attractions
and
nature
reserves.
And
because...
There is
shopping
for
rugs,
antiques,
and
handicrafts
native
to
Jordan;
a wide
choice
of
5-star
deluxe
hotels;
relaxing
spas
with
treatments
based on
local
and
European
products,
and an
array of
Arabic
restaurants
for a
taste of
delicious
Jordanian
specialties,
as well
as fine
international
restaurants
with
menus
that
please
every
palate |
