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 River Jordan, it continues to be a
bridge between ancient and new 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 rose-red city carved in mountain
rock is your ultimate, and astonishing destination. It is as
beautiful to see as are 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. |
