The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, which once captivated ancient travellers, continues to enthral a whole new generation as a modern, vibrant nation.

From the haunting, primeval starkness of Wadi Rum, to the teeming centre of urban Amman, from the majestic ruins of bygone civilizations to the timeless splendour of the Dead Sea, Jordan is unveiled as a unique destination offering breathtaking and mysterious sights, high standard accommodations, exquisite cuisine and countless activities that can provide visitors with inspiration, motivation, and rejuvenation.

How safe is a trip to Jordan

Despite Jordan being in the heart of the middle east, it is just as safe to take a trip in 2016 as it was in any other years in its past, with the greatest dangers being from random acts of thefts and other petty crimes just like in any other tourist country in the world, including U.S. and Europe.

The areas to avoid as a cautionary measure are the border between Syria and Jordan and stick to the south and central parts of the country. The good news is that the best parts of the country are in south and central Jordan and you can look forward to a memorable trip in the beautiful and historic country
