For such a small country Jordan is a land of dramatic contrasts. From undulating hills in the north, some forested, others cultivated, to the surreal desert landscape of Wadi Rum in the south, where great ramparts of rock soar from the desert sands, piled one behind the other into the hazy horizon.

Travel anywhere throughout Jordan and you travel into the past, with evidence of civilisation dating back an astounding 9000 years.

Modern Jordan is a 20th century creation formed after the first world war. The capital Amman, sprawls over several hills in a rather haphazard fashion, remnants from the ancient cities remain to be explored at the Citadel, Roman Theatre an Umayyad Palace.

Enjoy some of the best diving and snorkelling in the world in the Red Sea or float in the buoyant waters of the Dead Sea, the lowest place on the earth's surface. Experience beautiful natural treasures whilst hiking the trails at one of Jordan's spectacular nature reserves.

To visit Jordan is to indulge in food, and lots of it. Jordanian cuisine is a fusion of foods from Lebanon, Syria, Palestine and Egypt. Learn how to make the national dish of mansaf then indulge in a Middle Eastern feast with fellow diners. Explore the ancient Nabatean city of Petra and Beida by day, relax in a traditional Hammam (Turkish bath) at night.

Follow in the footsteps of Lawrence of Arabia, from the Desert Castles in the East to Wadi Rum in the south. Experience the serenity of the desert by camel, see the remnants of Bedouin tribes through ancient rock drawings, camp out under a ceiling of stars.

Be captivated by Jordan's charm, be embraced by the warmth and friendliness of its' people.
