Visit Jordan

Jordan is a land of wonder, where ancient history and modernity blend together to create a unique and mesmerising experience. This enchanting destination is a treasure trove of stunning landscapes, ancient ruins, and warm hospitality that will leave you spellbound. From the rugged mountains to the vast desert, the Dead Sea to the Red Sea, and the bustling cities to the peaceful countryside, Jordan has something for everyone.

One of the most alluring aspects of Jordan is its rich cultural heritage. The country is home to some of the world’s most magnificent ancient ruins, including the rose-colored city of Petra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that dates back to the 4th century BC. Jordan also boasts a wealth of Roman and Byzantine ruins, as well as Islamic and Crusader fortresses and castles.

But Jordan is not just about ancient history. It is also a modern and vibrant country, with a dynamic culture that blends traditional Bedouin customs with contemporary influences. Visitors can experience this unique blend of old and new in Jordan’s bustling cities, such as Amman, where they can sample delicious local cuisine, shop for souvenirs, and mingle with friendly locals. Whether you are seeking adventure, relaxation, or cultural immersion, Jordan is the perfect destination.

Culture & Heritage

The ancient sites and cultural significance of Jordan is not to be understated. With the relics of the Rose City, Petra, fascinating locals and visitors alike for centuries, along with a myriad of natural wonders, breath-taking landscapes and towering archaeological landmarks, it has earned a reputation as one of the Middle East’s most spectacular countries.

With a blend of Arabic and Islamic influence, Jordan’s heritage has largely been influenced by it’s geographical location, nestled between Israel, Syria and Saudi Arabia. With music, cuisine, clothing and sports that embody the Middle Eastern traditions, Jordan is a mecca for rich legacy that captures the appreciation of millions around the world.

Best paired with…

As a central country in the Middle East, Jordan is an ideal addition to a touring itinerary that can also take you through Egypt, Israel or even Oman. If you are looking to add some time on the coast, at the beach, in the hills or even among a bustling city, there are many options for you to link your time in Jordan with another destination and really maximise your time away.

Diversity

Thinking of Jordan will often conjure images of expansive sandy deserts, the classic humid Mediterranean heat and of course, the rich saline waters of the Dead Sea. However, what is often overlooked is the vast biodiversity the country is home to. Travelling from Amman to Wadi Rum, aka the North to the South of the country, will take you past dense forests, many of which are protected areas, along the base of mountains, across valleys and into the rolling dunes of the desert.

With a thriving ecosystem of flora and fauna, Jordan houses 2,514 species of flourishing plant life but that does not come without challenge. The Royal Society of Conservation of Nature has made substantial efforts to protect the natural land of Jordan and preserve the wildlife in the face of increasingly hot and dry summers. For us, this has become a key consideration in our Jordan offering, ensuring that we are always mindful to provide positive impact by supporting the necessary initiatives and working with our Jordanian partners who mirror these values.
