Jordan

Jordan is an ancient land unlike anywhere else on earth. Steeped in history and culture, and a holiday here guarantees unique, varied, and memorable experiences.

For a small country, Jordan offers such variety. Magical desert landscapes, majestic Roman remains, the cosmopolitan capital city of Amman, mystical Petra, unspoilt beaches of Aquaba, and the Dead Sea – the lowest point on earth. If you’re looking for a once in a lifetime holiday to an ancient yet beautiful land, filled with experiences as well as opportunities to unwind and recharge, Jordan may just be the place for you.

• If it’s a first time visit to Jordan, join an escorted group tour (or push the boat out and make it a private tour). Jordan has a collection of unmissable ‘must see’ locations and the country is small enough to see them all with a well thought out itinerary. Allow a week to 12 days.
• Expect some driving. Due to the geography of the country, there’s no getting around this, however, carefully planned trips will be well incorporate sightseeing stops enroute, meaning no day of your holiday will include an uncomfortably long journey. The landscape is so beautiful so sit back and take it in whilst your driver gets you to the next location.
• Include a few days to relax at the Red Sea resort of Aqaba before flying home. Aqaba is home to some of the worlds best scuba diving. Just remember to allow 24 hours between diving and flying.
• You must do ‘Petra by Night’. A two hour event offered just 3 evenings per week. A beautiful, peaceful, spiritual experience. Sitting/ laying on the desert sand in the dark looking up at the stars in the clear night sky. The whole site is lit with lanterns – it’s an experience you’ll get more out of than you expect. We’re plan you trip so you’re there on the right day to catch it.

Temperatures are most comfortable during the Spring or autumn. The summer months of June – August can reach temperatures in excess of 40 degrees, especially in the Gulf of Aqaba.
