'Ahlan wa sahlan' means
'welcome' in Arabic and
goes to show the great
hospitality of the
Jordanian people. 'Ahlan
wa sahlan', you shall
hear it many times when
visiting Jordan. When
people are just making
friendly conversation
and welcome you to their
country or when they
offer you a nice cup of
mint-flavoured tea.
Jordan Experience
invites you to immerse
yourself in the
colourful traditions of
Arab culture, and at the
same time enjoy the
convenient life of the
modern metropolis.
Imagine how this will
be: taking a walk in the
tiny allies of the local
suq (market), drinking
some mint tea or smoking
a hubbly-bubbly (water
pipe) in one of the many
coffee houses.

Day 2
Location Description:
Petra
no visit of Jordan will be complete
without having seen the capital of the
ancient Nabatean kingdom, Petra.
The long-lost city of Petra, carved
entirely by man into the rose-red
sandstone rocks, puts your imagination
to the test. It's a mystic and glorious
place, an eternal tribute to a lost
civilization. Petra was the central
meeting point of the Nabatean spice
routes which originated from the Persian
Gulf, Western Arabia and the Red Sea.
About two thousand years ago Petra
became the capital of the Nabatean
Empire. The city was so renowned that
one of its kings, Aretas IV, is even
mentioned in the Bible. The natural
richness of the mountainous area
combines in a superb way with the
refined culture and massive architecture
of the Nabateans, who carved their
theatre, temples, façades, tombs,
monasteries, houses and roads entirely
into the rose-red sandstone rocks. No
wonder UNESCO placed Petra on its World
Heritage List.
One enters Petra by passing the Siq, a
deep and narrow gorge, at the end of
which all of a sudden dramatically
appears the most famous monument in
Petra: al-Khazneh or the Treasury. Maybe
you will recognize it as the stage of
the final sequence of the movie 'Indiana
Jones and the Last Crusade'. But the
Treasury is just the start. Walking and
climbing in Petra hundreds of buildings
carved in stone and eroded through the
centuries into fabulous multi-coloured
walls will be revealed to you.
