Jordan

Since time immemorial, Jordan has

been a crossroad for migrating people,

invading armies and international trade.

With a history dating back over two

millennia, the country teems with

mementoes of many races, including

walled Canaanite cities, Greek palaces,

Muslim shrines, Byzantine churches,

the huge Roman city of Jerash and

the lost city of Petra, hewn by the

Nabataeans from solid rock.

A well-travelled bridge between sea

and desert, east and west, the

Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is

a land of mesmerising beauty and

contrasts. The nature of Jordan varies

from the stunning desert landscapes of Wadi Rum to the green valley

of the Jordan River and the unique, salty beaches of the Dead Sea.

In the south the Gulf of Aqaba offers opportunities for water sports.

In the desert of Wadi Rum camping, hiking and jeep tours are offered.

Experience the old Bedouin lifestyle during a camel ride from Wadi Rum

to Wadi Mousa near Petra and Aqaba. Jeep tours and climbing excursions

can also be arranged. Today, Jordan also offers relaxation and

rejuvenation at the luxurious resort spas set on the shores of the Dead

Sea – a great escape from the stress of modern life.

The capital city of Amman spreads across 19 hills, many of which are

over 800 metres above sea level. Downtown Amman is located around

the King Hussein Mosque, at the lowest level of the city. The big, blue

dome of the King Abdullah Mosque as well as the black and white

striped Abu Darwish Mosque are important landmarks of the city.

One of the highlights of Amman is the Roman Theatre, with a capacity

of 6,000 people. The National Archaeological Museum and the Jordan

National Gallery of Fine Arts inform the visitors about the history and

culture of Jordan.

More spectacular than

the capital city of Amman,

is the ancient Roman city

of Jerash. It is remarkably

well preserved, compact

and easily accessible.

The huge hippodrome

for 15,000 visitors, the

South Theatre with

amazing acoustics,

the large Oval Plaza

and the colonnaded

street and many other

sites of Jerash make the

city Jordan’s major

attraction after Petra.

of Petra. Visitors who walk to the As-Siq, the dramatic, long and narrow

it is so famous for, during the rest of the day. The Royal Tombs and

The Monastery are further attractions in the imposing city and offer

great views of the old city centre.

Located on the ancient trade routes linking the Mediterranean and

Arabia, Amman, like Rome is built on seven hills. It is a fascinating

city of contrasts – a unique blend of old and new, ideally situated

on a hilly area between the desert and the fertile Jordan valley.

Hills covered with beige, pale ochre and white houses gave rise

to the name ‘The White City’.

Whilst present day Amman is a relatively new city which has grown

rapidly over the past 50 years, it is one of the oldest inhabited

places in the world and evidence of its long history can be found

in its well-preserved Roman buildings.

In the commercial heart of the city, modern buildings, restaurants

and boutiques rub shoulders with traditional coffee shops and artisans’

workshops. The residential suburbs consist of mainly tree-lined streets

and avenues flanked by elegant, almost uniform white houses.

The downtown area is much older and more traditional with smaller

businesses producing and selling everything from intricate jewellery

to everyday household items.

Places of interest: The Roman Amphitheatre, dating back to 151 AD

and built to seat 6,000 people and the Folklore Museum; nearby the

AmmanCity of seven hills

Amman

huge Roman ruined city of Jerash, one of the best-preserved Roman

provincial towns in the world; Desert Castles and the Dead SeaResort spas.

Best buys: Amman’s gold souk for a variety of handmade jewellery

and tourist shops for traditional handicrafts. Al Khayyam Oriental Bazaarfor handcrafted copper items, mother of pearl and olivewood products.

Shopping is also available in Sweifeh, Jabal Al-Hussein, Abdoun Malland Amman Mall.

Out and about: Amman’s nightlife is centred around dining out, hotel

bars and nightclubs. Well worth a visit is Kan Zayman, an authentically-

restored Jordanian village offering excellent food and craft shops.

Aqaba Excursions

The giant red mountains and vast mausoleums of a departed race have

nothing in common with modern civilisation and ask nothing of it except

to be appreciated at their true value - as one of the greatest wonders

ever created by nature and man.

Although much has been written about Petra, nothing really prepares

you for this amazing place. It has to be seen to be believed. Considered

a wonder of the ancient world, Petra is without doubt Jordan’s most

valuable treasure. This unique city, carved into the sheer rock face by the

Nabataeans, over 2,000 years ago, turned it into an important junction for

the silk, spice and other trade routes.

Visiting Petra for the first time

is always an unforgettable

experience. We first stop by

the Qasr al-Bint Temple of the

Nabatean capital, the site is awe-

inspiring in every aspect. What

really leaves an impression

however, is the walk through the

Siq, the narrow ancient entrance

to the site that is surrounded by

cliffs soaring up to 80 metres

high. Nearing the end of the

gorge the Treasury reveals itself

to the visitors. After exploring the

site you will be transferred back

to Aqaba city.

The Dead Sea has a historical and spiritual legacy of its own. Although

sparsely populated and serenely quiet, the area is believed to be the site

of five biblical cities. With much of the landscape virtually unchanged

since ancient times, this is a favourite spot for a holiday.

Just 40 minutes from Amman this landlocked salt lake is 410 metres

below sea level – the lowest point on the earth’s surface. Its warm,

soothing waters are rich in beneficial minerals that soothe the skin and

because of its high salt content you can simply relax in it and float away

with ease.

The resorts of the Dead Sea offer luxurious accommodation, fine dining,

children’s activities freshwater swimming pools, spa treatments and

leisure activities and are the perfect place to relax and rejuvenate in

a beautiful, natural and tranquil environment. The elegant spas provide

a full range of both Dead Sea and international brand beauty treatments

allowing you to indulge in the art of well-being.

Places of interest: Mount Nebo is situated west of Madaba on the edge

of the plateau and on a clear day it is possible to see the Dead Sea and

the spires of the churches; Lot’s Sanctuary, a historic cave located on

Modern Safi set on a hill by a tiny spring overlooking the Dead Sea; the

Mujib Nature Reserve, the ruined Roman city of Jerash which was

discovered in 1806, Madaba with its ancient mosaics of the Byzantine era

makes an excellent day trip. The most interesting mosaic is in the Greek

Orthodox church of St George.

This excursion covers the ancient sites

around the area of the Dead Sea.

Our first stop is Mount Nebo. Attracting

tourists from around the world, Mount Nebo

is the burial site of Moses. The view from the

top of this mountain offers expansive views

that encompass the Jordan River Valley, the

Dead Sea and beyond. According to legend,

this is also the place where Jeremiah hid the

Ark of the Covenant and it has been

a place of pilgrimage for early Christians.

The church at the site contains six tombs, from different periods and has

been found hollowed out of the rock beneath the mosaic-covered floor of

the church. In the present presbytery you can see remnants of mosaics,

the earliest of which is a panel with a braided cross.

Our next stop is Bethany - it is believed John the Baptist preached and

baptized here and it is often referred to as Bethany Beyond the Jordan.

Close by is Tell a-Kharrar and Elijah’s hill identified in texts of the

Byzantine and Mediaeval eras, as well as modern archaeological

documents.

Visitors can also see other stunning archaeological discoveries like the

architectural remains of a 5th century Byzantine monastery as well as

a 3rd century building with fine mosaics and a cave where John the

Baptist is believed to have lived.
