From Petra to the Wadi Rum desert, discover Jordan.

Jordan: a unique adventure between history and nature

Filled with beautiful sites, sometimes rocky or desert-like, then becoming much greener, the Jordanian landscapes have a taste of diversity. Traveling to Jordan is a guarantee of an unforgettable journey surrounded by canyons, cliffs, and natural arches, from the panoramas of Wadi Mujib, the "Grand Canyon of Jordan," to the incredible desert of Wadi Rum. The many and rich civilizations that have succeeded in these extraordinary places have left behind architectural wonders whose memory will accompany you for a long time: the hidden city of Petra, the last stage of the quest for the Holy Grail for Indiana Jones, Jerash, the Jordanian Pompeii, or the desert castles east of Amman. A Middle Eastern country where one can see one of the 7 new wonders of the world.

A Jewel of Peace and Discovery

Spared by the sad news affecting its Syrian neighbor, Jordan welcomes travelers with the gentleness of a mint tea. Nicely nestled in the Middle East between the Red Sea and the Dead Sea, it offers a haven of peace and serenity. This country with diverse landscapes captivates with its cultural and historical richness. Visitors discover archaeological treasures, ancestral traditions, and warm hospitality. Jordan, a true crossroads of civilizations, promises a unique experience, between modernity and remnants of the past. It invites one to escape and explore its natural and heritage wonders.

Must-see sites to visit

Everyone has seen Petra in the movie "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade." It awaits you in real life, grand and majestic, nestled between the eroded canyons of the southern valleys. Temples and tombs with impressive facades, carved into sandstone cliffs. A total change of scenery in the face of the splendor of the place. On the road to the Saudi border, less than 130 km from Amman, the Umayyad caliphs of Damascus built small castles in the desert to relax and hunt in the surroundings. Now it's your turn to enjoy these majestic historical sites. The country's third city, Aqaba, is a perfect stop for a getaway with its access to the Gulf of Aqaba and its perennial mildness (never below 20°C). The wonders of its underwater world attract divers from around the globe. Visiting Jordan also means admiring the reefs and corals, for both beginners and enthusiasts. In the south of the country, the Wadi Rum desert stands out with its rock formations of bewildering shapes, sculpted by erosion, and its changes in light throughout the day. You will follow in the footsteps of Lawrence of Arabia during a trek where lovers of wide open spaces will not be disappointed. Natural arches, sandstone cliffs, canyons — you can also spend a night in a camp, like a true modern-day adventurer.

Discover Jordan in a Different Way

Between Amman and the Dead Sea, around a hundred thermal springs emerge as natural waterfalls in a paradisiacal setting. The therapeutic properties of this water and the mud from the Dead Sea attract both tourists and Jordanians. It is a true oasis of happiness. A remarkable and ultra-photogenic natural site stands in the middle of the desert where a fortress destroyed by the Romans was erected, of which only the powerful foundations remain. After climbing the stairs to the top, Machéronte will surprise you with a magnificent view of the Dead Sea. The sanctuary dedicated to the goddess of hunting was the most important in the ancient city of Gerasa, 50 km north of Amman. Long hidden under the sand, this Jordanian Pompeii holds treasures of Roman ruins. The remnants of this ancient city represent a memorable archaeological site with its columns and paved streets, amidst temples and theaters of the era.

A Diverse Tourist Experience

Lovers of ancient sites will face difficult choices given the numerous antique locations to visit. Petra will undoubtedly be the highlight of the stay, but also Gadara, Gerasa, and Pella. Devout religious individuals will visit the biblical sites of the Jordan Valley, from Bethany to Pella, passing through Jericho, while those who enjoy relaxation, diving, and spa therapy will try out the resorts of Aqaba and the Dead Sea. Hikers will not be disappointed by the landscapes offered by the nature reserves of Ajloun, Dana, Mujib, and by the unforgettable experience of walking in the mountains of the Wadi Rum desert and camping under the stars.
