WHY JORDAN |
 |
|
NATURE BEST
When thinking of Jordan, many people
will associate it with the desert. The
natural diversity of Jordan however goes
way beyond that. Jordan is home to more
than 75 different species of mammals,
nearly 400 species of birds, more than
70 species of reptiles and nearly 2,500
species of plants. During the last
decades Jordan has invested a lot in
preserving the natural diversity by
creating wildlife reserves.
In the far east of Jordan you will find
a wetland oasis in het heart of the
desert. The Azraq
Oasis ('azraq' is Arabic
for 'blue') includes several natural and
ancient built pools, a seasonally
flooded marshland and a large mudflat.
It's a paradise for a wide variety of
birds. Some of these are endemic to
Jordan, while others stop over here on
their migration route between Asia and
Africa. In the marshland the water
buffalo and wild horses still roam.
On the western frontier lies the
Dead Sea, the lowest spot
on earth. Its leading attraction is the
super salty water, of which many people
say it has healing powers. The biblical
cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, where
Lot's wife was turned into a pillar of
salt, are believed to have been located
in the vicinity of the Dead Sea.
When travelling on the southwards
winding
King's Highway you will
pass through very attractive scenery.
When you leave the rolling hills of Moab
behind, the road plunges down into the
Wadi Mujib. The Mujib canyon is
sometimes called the Grand Canyon of the
Middle East, and with reason. It spans
an elevation drop of 1,300 meters, from
900 meters above sea level to 400 meters
below. The vast and barren landscape of
Wadi Mujib is an unforgettable
experience.
Further on down the road you may admire
one of Jordan's finest nature reserves.
From the viewpoint near the medieval
Bedouin village of Dana you will have a
wonderful view of the green mountain
ranges of the Jordan Rift Valley.
'Vast, echoing and Godlike', that's how
Lawrence of Arabia described
Wadi Rum. A visit to Wadi Rum
is a journey to another world, a silent
and timeless place, where you will be
dwarfed to insignificance. The uniquely
shaped massive mountains rise out of the
rose-red desert sand. If you are lucky,
the local Bedouin tribes will invite you
into their black tents to share their
mint tea or cardamom-flavoured coffee.
Jordan's only port Aqaba lies on the
northern tip of the
Red Sea. The waters of the
Red Sea are crystal clear and have an
abundant marine life. The Red Sea is
home to more than 140 species of coral
and countless species of brightly
coloured fish.
Aqaba offers a wide
variety of opportunities to explore this
amazing underwater world, such as scuba
diving and snorkelling.
Not to mention the empty skies of
Wadi Araba or the green lure
of the Jordan Valley...
We invite you to come and experience
Jordan for yourself!
