Jordan, a
young country dense with history, full of natural wonders and historical sites,
a well-travelled bridge between sea and desert, east and west. Situated just
east of the River Jordan, it continues to be a bridge between ancient and new
civilizations and an open air museum in almost all its entirety. Jordan is a
country for all seasons. In winter it offers therapy at the Dead Sea, the lowest
point on earth where "floating" rather than "swimming" is a unique adventure in
the extremely saline and mineral rich waters. In summer, Petra, the ancient
rose-red city carved in mountain rock is your ultimate, and astonishing
destination. It is as beautiful to see as are northern parts of the country, Umm
Qais, Jerash with its wonderfully preserved Roman ruins, or the capital, Amman,
and the mosaic city of Madaba. A world of mystery and wonderful hospitality is
open for you just east of the River Jordan. Shopping bargains, souvenirs,
excellent oriental and international cuisine, aromas, flavours, colors and most
of all smiling people will mix and blend to make your stay in Jordan an
unforgettable one.
