Explore Jordan for more fun!

Jordan is a country of breathtaking contrasts — from the ancient rock-cut city of Petra and the otherworldly desert of Wadi Rum to the mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea and the vibrant capital of Amman. Often called an “oasis of stability” in the Middle East, this small Hashemite Kingdom packs an extraordinary variety of experiences into a compact area. Whether you’re a history buff, an adventure seeker, or a pilgrim on a spiritual journey, Jordan offers a warm welcome and memories that will last a lifetime .

Description:

Jordan’s historical and spiritual significance is immense. It is home to Petra, the “Rose Red City,” a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, carved into sandstone cliffs by the Nabataeans over 2,000 years ago . The country is also a treasure trove for religious tourism. Bethany Beyond the Jordan (Al-Maghtas) is identified as the site where Jesus was baptised by John the Baptist, making it a major Christian pilgrimage destination . Mount Nebo is believed to be where Moses viewed the Promised Land before his death, offering stunning panoramic views across the Jordan Valley and the Dead Sea . For Muslim travellers, the Cave of the Seven Sleepers, mentioned in the Quran, is located near Amman .

Description:

Jordan is also a land of diverse landscapes and adventure. The Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth, allows visitors to float effortlessly in its hyper-saline waters and enjoy its mineral-rich black mud, famous for its healing properties . The desert wilderness of Wadi Rum, known as the “Valley of the Moon,” offers dramatic scenery of towering rock formations and red sand, where you can stay in a Bedouin camp, go on a jeep tour, or stargaze under one of the clearest skies . The vibrant capital, Amman, blends ancient history with modern life, featuring the Citadel, a Roman Theatre, and a thriving food scene . Jordanian cuisine is a delight, with the national dish, Mansaf (lamb cooked in fermented dried yoghurt and served with rice), being a must-try, alongside fresh mezze like hummus and tabbouleh .
