A short guide about Religious travel to Jordan
Jordan is one of the most exciting countries to visit in the Middle East; it is a very clean and safe country for travellers. It is a place of incredible sights, with friendly people and the sun always shines. It is also an ideal location for launching out to other sites throughout Jordan. Highlights of Jordan include Petra, Jerash, Aqaba Um Qais, Mount Nebo, the Dead Sea the Jordan River, and the majestic mountains of Wadi rum. Also swimming and diving in Aqaba's virginal waters.
The capital city, Amman is a nice place to relax and a walking tour provides an astonishing contrast of the old town and the plush parts of the city. The city centre features an old Roman theatre, an ancient Citadel, an archaeological museum (which features some of the Dead Sea Scrolls), as well as shops and stalls selling souvenirs.
For a really good historical perspective of Jordan, a guided tour from one of the local operators like ‘Petra Tours’ can be arrange for a customised tour during your free time. It will show you the contrasts, developments, social change, local skyscrapers (still a novelty), tunnels and the erected bridges. Besides its town centre, Jordan has many other places to see, that's why a tour guide would be best. Packages and excursions operate on a daily basis to allow international tourists to see as much of the country as possible.
In Jordan, the Rose Red City of Petra is the most famous but in reality there are many other towns, cities, places and archaeological digs for everyone to see. Discover amazing desert landscapes, encounter the ancient civilisation of the Nabataeans, spend a night under the stars with a local Bedouin family and take a camel trek into the desert. Tourabout has a range of tours that will have you enjoying an historic overview of this amazing land to the more in-depth overland expedition that delves into the soul of the Middle East.
