Jordan has delighted travellers for decades with its World Heritage Sites, welcoming communities, and spectacular desert vistas. It is a safe sanctuary in a troubled region.
Jordan has a history of welcoming travellers: camel caravans travelled the fabled King’s Highway carrying frankincense in exchange for spices, while Nabataean merchants, Roman legions, Muslim armies, and fervent Crusaders all travelled through the country and left behind stunning monuments. Roman amphitheatres, Celtic castles, and Christian mosaics are just a few of the structures that have captivated later pilgrims looking for ancient history and religious roots. The custom of being hospitable to guests is still present today.
Petra, an ancient Nabataean city tucked deep within Jordan’s sandstone escarpments, is the country’s most famous archaeological site. Even the most jaded travellers have been fascinated by the journey through the Siq to the Treasury (Petra’s signature structure) ever since the 19th-century explorer Jean Louis Burckhardt first told them about the pink-hued necropolis. This is a highlight that rewards a longer visit with sites scattered throughout a huge rocky landscape and a mood that changes with the varying light of dawn and dusk.

It is simple to understand why TE Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) was so captivated to this country of adventure after taking a ride across Wadi Rum at sundown.
Hosting endless waves of immigrants requires tolerance, and Jordan has exhibited this virtue to the fullest by accepting thousands of refugees from the Palestinian Territories, Iraq, and most recently Syria. Rural life, in particular, has managed to maintain continuity with the customs of the past while dealing with this and the enormous number of tourists who are frequently indifferent to conservative Jordanian beliefs. Jordan is one of the safest nations in which to get a feel for the traditional Middle East, albeit facing the problems of modernization and rising urbanisation.
