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, travellers
have marvelled 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 Nabataean 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 specialities, as well as fine
international restaurants with menus that please every
palate.
