Deserts of stone that annihilate the sense of distance and canyons that plunge down into bottomlessabysses; immaculate structures decorated with arabesques and crusaders' castles; ghost towns perched oninaccessible rocks, and rugged mountains where ancient Bible stories become a reality.

Jordan is one of the oldest countries in the world; a land where geology and history of mankind have leftimportant, and in some respects still mysterious traces. Petra, the “rose-red city half as old as time” isalready world-famous, but around Petra there is a whole country waiting to be discovered; from the ruins ofRoman Decapolis to the blue waters of Aqaba, the last outpost of the country before the coral reefs of theRed Sea; from the unreal depression of the Dead Sea to the surreal rocks of Wadi Rum, where the saga ofLawrence of Arabia unfolded. Come with us and discover the ancient and modern Jordan.

Jordan is ready to welcome you and we are ready to proudly guide you through its incredible past and itsamazing present.
