A well-travelled bridge between sea and desert, east and west, the Hashemite

Kingdom of Jordan is a land of mesmerizing beauty and contrasts, from the

Jordan Valley, fertile, ever changing, to the remote desert canyons, immense

and still. Visitors can explore splendid desert castles, gaze in awe at the

haunting wilderness of Wadi Rum, or bathe in the restful waters of the Red

Sea.

For adventure lovers, there’s horse riding, 4x4 safaris, rock climbing and

hiking. For taking it easy, nothing on earth compares to the Dead Sea and the

Red Sea, with their many spa facilities.

Modern Jordan was founded by King Abdullah I after World War I. It was

ruled by his grandson, the late King Hussein, for 46 years until his death in

1999, when his son, King Abdullah II, assumed the throne. Jordan has grown

into a modern nation that has enjoyed a remarkable measure of peace,

stability and economic growth in recent decades.
