Bordering Israel to it's West, Jordan is a nation painted with a colorful history, offering stunning landscapes and defined by welcoming people. While Jordan first found it’s way on the pages of history in the Old Testament, remnants of the first inhabitants, uncovered in the arid landscapes of the Fertile Crescent, date back 9 millennia to the Paleolithic Age. Moving from nomadic to more stable communities, the region experienced a long history of occupation from the Mongols to the Crusaders to the Ottoman Empire, leaving a variety of archaeological sites and forming a unique culture of European and Arabic influences that characterize modern day Jordan.
This small country offers an immense variety of landscapes, archaeological sites and adventure. It’s attractions include lush scenic escapes in the north famed for Greco-Roman ruins, the bustling cosmopolitan center of Amman, dazzling night skies and day hiking in the central nature reserves, arid canyons of the Wadi Rum valley and the laid back Bedouin lifestyle. Don’t miss swimming in the Red Sea with glowing cobalt waters, pristine coral reefs, and a multitude of water activities. The hospitable nature of the gentle Jordanian people and the fabulously fresh cuisine will make your journey through this historic land truly unforgettable.
