Discover Jordan
|
|
With a reputation for being one of the friendliest countries on earth, it is sad that so few people dare to explore its immense sense of history, as well as two of the most magnificent sights in the Middle East: the ancient rock-hewn city of Petra and Wadi Rum's spectacular desert scenery.
A land of biblical stories and ancient civilisations, Jordan witnessed the rise and fall of numerous rich and powerful empires. Ongoing excavations reveal the traces of civilisations dating as far back as prehistoric times, making Jordan one of the most interesting destinations in the world and your trip one of the most memorable.
