[F]rom Aqaba to Wadi Rum there’s an almost complete A to Z of natural beauty in Jordan. The world’s northernmost coral reef ecosystem is situated in the Gulf of Aqaba. There, the absence of stormy weather, mild water currents and an average water temperature of 23° Celsius have created a wonderfully hospitable environment for the growth of corals. Just a little further north is the moonlike landscape of Wadi Rum, which is home to many rare and endemic plants. Further north still, near the east coast of the Dead Sea, the Mujib Reserve, which is the lowest nature reserve in the world is to be found. Wadi Mujib enjoys a magnificent bio-diversity that is still being explored and documented today. Over 300 species of plants have been discovered so far.

[W]hen your country borders the Red Sea and the Dead Sea and you have desert terrain, deep valleys, green hills and towering mountains, all topped with clear blue skies, there’s no shortage of activities you can participate in. Diving, snorkelling, swimming, trekking, jeep driving and hot-air ballooning are just some of the things you can do. For a country which has the world’s largest natural outdoor spa – the Dead Sea where relaxation is the order of the day, Jordan also has a remarkable number of activities available.

[F]or a relatively small country, Jordan has a rich seam of treasures, with sites of important historic interest spread throughout the country. If you follow in the footsteps of the Roman Emperor Hadrian, the Prophet Moses or Lawrence of Arabia, you will unearth some of Jordan’s most prized sites at Jerash, Mount Nebo and Wadi Rum respectively. Unlike these three major figures from history, Indiana Jones may be just a Hollywood creation, but if you follow in his footsteps, you will find the greatest treasure of all, the rose-red city of Petra. Unique is an overused word, but it can certainly be applied to so many sites in Jordan.

[M]eeting the demands of 21st century travellers is something that Jordan excels at. The new terminal building at Queen Alia International Airport in Amman is testament to the country’s commitment to ensuring a smooth passage for arriving and departing passengers. Continued investment in the transport infrastructure means that getting around Jordan is as easy as getting into the country and wherever you are staying, you will find accommodation of the highest international standards. The recent construction of major conference and exhibition centres means that meeting and conference facilities in Jordan compare with anywhere in the world.
