About Jordan:
 

A kingdom at peace moving definitely into the future, Jordan is a land steeped in history. It has been home to some of mankind's earliest settlements and villages, and remains of many of the world's great civilizations can still be seen today. As the crossroads of the Middle East, the lands of Jordan have served as a strategic road connecting Asia, Africa and Europe. Therefore, since the dawn of civilization, Jordan's geography has given it an important role to play as a conduit for trade and communications, connecting east and west, north and south. Jordan continues to play this role today.
Jordan a young country dense with history, full of natural wonders and historical sites, a well-traveled bridge between sea and desert, east and west, situated just east of the Jordan River, it continues to be a bridge between ancient and modern 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 red-rose city carved in mountain rock is your ultimate and astonishing destination. It is as beautiful to see as are the 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.
All year round the crystalline Red Sea waters are famous all over the world for the richness of their submarine corals, considered as a paradise for divers.
Shopping bargains, souvenirs, excellent oriental and international cuisine, aromas, flavors, colors and most of all smiling and friendly people will mix and blend to make your stay in Jordan a memorable one.
