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.
Petra The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Petra, the Red Rose City, is in a category of its own and is today Jordan's star attraction comprising a 2000 year old city carved into rose-coloured stone and hidden from view by the mountains. Petra is entered through the siq - an immense crevice in the rock that winds for over a kilometre between overhanging cliffs. From the imposing Treasury to the lofty Ad Deir Monastery, the mystery of Petra remains as elusive and fascinating as ever.
Dead Sea The Dead Sea is flanked by mountains to the east and the rolling hills of Jerusalem to the west, giving it an almost other-worldly beauty. The unusually warm, incredibly buoyant and mineral-rich waters have attracted visitors since ancient times, including King Herod the Great and the beautiful Egyptian Queen, Cleopatra. All of whom have luxuriated in the Dead Sea’s rich, black, stimulating mud and floated effortlessly on their backs while soaking up the water's healthy minerals along with the gently diffused rays of the Jordanian sun.
