Just the mention of jordan might conjure images of camels and vast desert-scapes, but the diverse country is so much more than that. the tiny country encompasses varied climates, storied architecture, and a deep history that goes all the way back to the palaeolithic age. journey through time and space as we venture from sea to desert, ruins to city and back again. break bread with locals, visit the lowest place on earth floating in the waters of the dead sea, feast like royalty on falafel, hummus, and spiced breads, and explore the ancient ruins of past empires.
