As you wander across Jordan’s sites, wherever you set foot is steeped in ancient history. You can sit in Amman’s 6,000-seat amphitheater and watch a performance, much as ancient Romans did in this very same place. The Nabataean Kingdom’s capital city of Petra may have been initially settled over 10,000 years ago, long before the Egyptians built their famous pyramids. From Kerak‘s Crusader castle, Christian soldiers sought the Holy Grail, while at Mt. Nebo, the Byzantines created a memorial to Moses. Jesus Christ was baptized in Jordan some 2,000 years ago, and in the ancient mosaic city of Madaba, view the oldest mosaic map of the Holy Land. This richness of history urges a trip to Jordan; as travelers, we bear witness to it, in person, bringing this ancient cultural heritage to life.
Beyond Jordan’s historical interest, at Wadi Rum, breathtaking desert landscapes have served as backdrops for Hollywood blockbusters, like Lawrence of Arabia, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The set for The Martian has since been converted to a luxury hotel. Visit Jordan in spring and you glimpse its national flower, the unusual black iris. Adventure seekers can hit the award-winning Jordan Trail, covering all 400 miles of this country.
