Your Jordan holiday starts here
Rolling hills covered in thick forests, table-flat expanses of shimmering desert, Arcadian groves of olives, pomegranate and apricot trees, stark, saw-toothed mountains, mystical, narrow canyons of pink, red and cream rock. All of this and more is Jordan.
Jordan has a landmass similar in size to Portugal and almost 80% is desert yet there is a surprising variety of terrain in this small Middle Eastern Kingdom. Culturally, Jordan has been a hub for humanity since the dawn of civilisation and before; there are archaeological finds dating back to Palaeolithic times.
