Jordan

Jordan is a fascinating travel destination in the heart of the Middle East, offering a rich history, breathtaking landscapes and an impressive variety of cultural treasures.

From its ancient wonders to its picturesque natural landscapes, Jordan has something to offer travelers of all kinds.

Probably the most famous sight in Jordan is Petra, the “lost city” and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built by the Nabataeans in the red rocks of Wadi Musa, this ancient rock city is famous for its majestic treasury, the Al-Khazneh. A walk through the narrow Siq, a natural crevice that leads to the Treasury, is an unforgettable experience.

Another impressive historical gem is the ancient Roman city of Jerash. The well-preserved ruins bear witness to the city's glorious past and its former importance in the Roman Empire. The Oval Forum, the Columned Street and the South Gate are just some of the highlights that take visitors back to Roman times.

For nature lovers, the Dead Sea offers a unique experience. It is the lowest point on earth and is known for its extremely salty water, which makes swimming a floating experience. The mineral-rich mud treatment and the breathtaking landscape make a visit to the Dead Sea an unforgettable experience.

The desert castles of Jordan are another highlight. They once served as rest stops, caravanserais and fortresses along historic trade routes.

Qasr Amra is one of the most famous castles and is known for its well-preserved frescoes depicting scenes from everyday life and the history of the region.

Adventurous travelers can explore Wadi Rum, a spectacular desert landscape often referred to as the "Valley of the Moon." Here, visitors can ride camels, stay in desert camps, and admire the impressive sandstone formations formed by erosion.

Not to be forgotten is the lively capital Amman, a modern city that has at the same time preserved its historical past. Here travelers will find a mix of traditional markets, modern shopping centers and a vibrant arts and culture scene.
