The Hashemite Kingdom of

JORDAN

, which was

once a crossroad for ancient people journeying

East and West, enthralls a whole new generation

of travelers. Jordan's oldest relics still captivate, like

the stunning city of Petra and its rose-colored

Al-Khazneh, a tomb exquisitely carved into the

red mountains by craftsman from a bygone

civilization. Feel the presence of the Roman

Empire in the ruins of Jerash, a once thriving

Roman provincial settlement that was part of the

Decapolis League. Not all of Jordan could be

tamed though - the primeval starkness of Wadi

Rum is a desert wilderness where nature has

trumped most all human settlements. In the

modern capital city of Amman, street life bustles

and bazaars overflow with colorful textiles, foods,

and other exciting goods. Meanwhile, the

therapeutic and cosmetic benefits of the ultra-

saline Dead Sea have appealed to travelers

throughout the centuries. Jordan has so much to

offer and unveils itself as a unique vacation

destination for inspiration, motivation, and

rejuvenation.
