'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.

Location Description:
Aqaba
lies at the Red sea. Jordan's only port
is the place to be. The waters of the
Red Sea are crystal clear and have an
abundant marine life. Aqaba offers a
wide variety of opportunities to explore
this amazing underwater world, such as
scuba diving and snorkelling. The Red
Sea is home to more than 140 species of
coral and countless species of brightly
coloured fish. And if you are lucky you
may also experience close encounters
with friendly sea animals like turtles
and dolphins. The weather near the Gulf
of Aqaba is splendid all year around.
Visit to Wadi Rum
is a journey to another world, a silent
and timeless place where you will be
dwarfed to insignificance. 'Vast,
echoing and Godlike', that's how
Lawrence of Arabia described. The
uniquely shaped massive mountains rise
out of the rose-red desert sand. This
desert is the home for the local Bedouin
tribes.
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.
Dead Sea
is one of the most spectacular natural
and spiritual landscapes on earth. It
lies on the western frontier of Jordan
and is well-known to be the lowest spot
on earth, 400 meters below sea level.
The unusually salty and mineral rich
water, the rich black mud along the
shoreline, the thermal mineral springs
are healing both for your body and your
soul. They have attracted kings,
emperors, traders and prophets since
antiquity.
Madaba
is famous for the unique mosaic map of
the Holy Land, which can be found in
Saint George's church floor.
Mount Nebo
is the place where Moses looked over the
Holy Land and the Dead Sea. That is the
place where Moses was seen for the last
time; therefore we consider this place
as burial place for Moses. You can visit
here the memorial church of Moses. If
the sky is clear Jerusalem, Jericho and
Bethlehem will meet your eye at the
other side of the Dead Sea.
Amman
-Enjoy
the panoramic views. Return to
Amman,
Jordan's capital, for a city tour.
Visit the Citadel featuring a
spectacular view over the hills and
valleys of the capital, the temple of
Hercules, the Ummayyad palace, a
Byzantine church and the archaeological
museum. Down the hill is the Roman
theatre which seats 6,000 and the nearby
Grand Hussein Mosque.
Jerash, the Pompei of the East. Jerash has been covered by sand for centuries,
the main reason why it is still so
well-preserved. You will enter Jerash
through the monumental South Gate and
find yourself wandering around in a
Roman city. You will walk in the Oval
Plaza surrounded by colonnades, visit
the Roman theatre and Byzantine churches
with mosaic-covered floors. Enjoy a
stroll along Jerash' main road the Cardo
and pass by the Nymphaeum. You may
experience the marvellous acoustics of
the theatre, the stage of the Jerash
music festival which takes place every
year. And see for yourself how the
Romans built the earthquake-proof
columns of the colonnaded streets.
