CITIES IN JORDAN

PETRA

The entrance to the city is through the Siq, a narrow gorge over one kilometer in length, which is flanked on either side by soaring 80 meter high cliffs. Just walking through the Siq is an experience in itself. The colours and rock formations are dazzling and as you reach the end of the Siq, you will catch your first breath-taking glimpse of Al-Khazneh (The Treasury).

JERASH

Jerash was conquered by General Pompey in 63 BC; it came under Roman rule and was one of the ten great Roman cities. The site is now generally acknowledged to be one of the best preserved Graeco-Roman cities in the world. It was hidden for centuries in sand before being excavated and restored over the past 70 years.

WADI RUM

Wadi Rum is a timeless place, virtually untouched by humanity and surrounded by towering skyscrapers of rock. Also known as ‘The Valley of the Moon’, it was here that Prince Faisal Bin Hussein and T.E. Lawrence based their headquarters during the Arab Revolt against the Ottomans in World War 1 and more recently famed as the filming location for 'Lawrence of Arabia'

AJLOUN

A short journey northwest from Jerash, through a beautiful pine-forest and olive groves, brings you to the town of Ajlun. Hadrian stayed here over the winter of 129-30 AD. This is the location of the Muslim Castle of Ajloun, from which there is a splendid view westwards into the Jordan Valley.

MADABA

Best known for its spectacular Byzantine and Umayyad mosaics, Madaba is home to the famous 6th century Mosaics; Map of Jerusalem and the Holy Land. With two million pieces of vividly coloured local stone, it depicts hills and valleys, villages and towns as far as the Nile Delta in Egypt.

SALT

An ancient agricultural town on the old main highway leading from Amman to Jerusalem, Salt’s history encompasses many different rulers, including the Romans and the Byzantines. Built on a cluster of three hills, Salt is a popular stop for tourists, with its splendid yellow sandstone buildings.

AMMAN

Amman, the capital of Jordan, is a fascinating city of contrasts – a unique blend of old and new, ideally situated on a hilly area between the desert and the fertile Jordan Valley. In the commercial heart of the city, ultra-modern buildings, hotels, restaurants, art galleries, and boutiques rub shoulders comfortably with traditional coffee shops and artisans’ workshops. There is evidence of the city’s much older past everywhere you turn.

DEAD SEA

The Dead Sea coast in Jordan, located at the lowest spot on earth, at more than 400 metres below sea level, is a spectacular tourist attraction. Its warm weather, filtered sun rays, oxygen-rich air, famous mineral-rich black mud and curative waters make it the largest natural spa in the world. Its water, nine times saltier than that of the Mediterranean, is known for being rich in healing properties; stress combating Magnesium, body energising and moisture balancing Potassium, and water retention preventing Calcium.
