Welcome to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, founded by King Abdullah I, and currently ruled by King Abdullah II son of the late King Hussein. Jordan has grown into a stable, peaceful and modern country. While Jordan is known for the ancient Nabataean city of Petra, carved from rock over 2000 years ago, it also offers much more for the modern traveller, from the Jordan Valley, fertile and ever changing, to the remote desert canyons, immense and still. Whether you are a thrill seeker, a historian, or you just want to relax, Jordan is the perfect trip to enjoy local history, culture and amazing hospitality.

Step back into time as you walk the paths of the Romans, Nabataeans, early Islamic and biblical figures as you travel around Jordan. The country’s historical and cultural wealth is overwhelming as it envelopes you upon arrival with ruins of ancient civilizations, religious sites and cultural hotpots. Although most of these civilizations have long since been relegated to the history books, they have not been forgotten as their fusion and evolution brought upon the great country of Jordan as we know it today. From the ancient Nabataean city of Petra, the miracle of the Dead Sea and Jordan Valley, the wonders of the Red Sea and Wadi Rum, to the fine hotels, shopping centers, museums and art galleries of modern Amman; Jordan truly is a blend of old and new, east and west, and an oasis of culture.
