Jordan Unique venues

Explore Jordan's unique venues for special events and experience some fascinating possibilities for theme parties. Only a few of them are listed here:

Just over 100 years old, this railway station offers you an exclusively chartered old steam engine train ride that transports visitors to an exciting trip in the desert. Some of the fun possibilities throughout this trip includes musicians on board to entertain guests, robbers on horseback to attack the train and capture "hostages", a Bedouin tent along the roadbed for a Lawrence of Arabia coffee break, a catered lunch on the platform of the Jiza station, and more.

The Hijaz Railway was built by the Ottomans to run from Damascus (in Syria) to Mecca (in Saudi Arabia). It was constructed in 1900, but was never completed because of attacks by robbers, and by Lawrence of Arabia and his men. Although a great part of the railway was destroyed at the time, much of the line has been rebuilt and runs throughout Jordan.

Dinners at the Citadel in Amman

Enjoy a special evening atop one of Amman's hills at the Citadel, in the shadow of the 2nd century Temple of Hercules. Attend a reception or dinner at the 8th century Umayyad Palace with waiters dressed in costumes from that period. Or, enjoy an evening under a Bedouin tent with traditional Middle Eastern food and entertainment.

An Evening in Little Petra

Nothing can top a visit to the splendours of Petra except a continuation of the excitement and mystery of Little Petra with its own 1500-foot "Siq" entrance, with rock-cut chambers. Colourful carpets line a large candle-lit tent. Gifted musicians play during dinner followed by a light show and dancers. It is a magnificent finale to one of the most impressive visits to Jordan.

A Dead Sea Barbecue

Stay afloat in the buoyancy of the Dead Sea at an exclusive beach. Then, enjoy a Middle Eastern barbecue served under a tent with comfortable seating on cushions and low tables. Immerse yourself in the tranquillity of the moment. What more delightful way to spend half a day at only an hour's drive from Amman.

Dine in the Crusader Castle of Karak

An Evening at Kan Zaman Village

This century-old village of Kan Zaman is today a charming complex of shops and a handicraft centre, cafes and a large restaurant located in what originally were huge, high-ceiling stables. The shops sell everything from spices to antiques, and you can watch the artisans practice their trades in many of them. Local music provides the background for a delicious home-style dinner.
