In Jordan, reminders of the past can be found everywhere: it was here that Jacob wrestled with the Angel of the Lord, Lot's wife turned into a table of salt, Job suffered and was rewarded for his faith, and the prophet Elijah ascended to heaven. Through these places, Moses led the Jews from Egypt to the Holy Land, and here he gave the people the Law of God. Here Jesus was baptized and anointed by God, here he called the first disciples, and the Life-Giving Trinity appeared - the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Jordan is a state of amazing beauty and diversity. The founder of the kingdom was King Abdullah I. The history of Jordan as a state began relatively recently - after the First World War. In recent years, the pace of the country's economic development has noticeably accelerated, and Jordan has entered the 21st century as a stable, prosperous state.


The first thing tours to Jordan are associated with is the ancient Nabataean Petra, carved into huge rocks. This amazing place attracts people from all over the world who come to rest in Jordan. However, tours to Jordan will allow you to see not only Petra, but also many other impressive places.

A wide variety of landscapes await you: from the fertile and relentlessly changing plain of the Jordan to the silent and majestic canyons of the desert. Holidays in Jordan are a great chance to see the attractive Wadi Rum, beautiful Desert Palaces, swim in the Red Sea and thermal springs.

Many hotels in Jordan offer activities such as horseback riding, off-road safaris, canyon trekking, rock climbing. If you prefer relaxation, the best SPA-resorts of the Dead Sea are open for you.

One thing is for sure: visiting any part of this land saturated with holiness, you will receive an invaluable spiritual experience and experience a huge surge of religious feelings.
