Trip Summary

Jordan evokes a simpler time, a sense of place and a cherished way of life. A visit to Jordan brings a return to respected and hallowed tradition.
Jordan is a land of ancient heritage that until relatively modern times, has lived in the fold of great empires. Jordan’s millennia of settlement have left it with varied archaeological Treasures that range from
- Neolithic Statues and
- four-thousand year old frescoes to
- the Greco-Roman splendor of Jerash,
- the mosaic riches of Byzantine Madaba and
- the rock-carved wonders of Nabataean Petra.
These historical sites, combined with a moderate climate and a central location, makes the kingdom ideal for tourism.
Amman is the capital of the Hashemite Kingdom of Joradan. Its name is derived from its ancient name ” Rabbath Ammon ” when it was the capital of the Ammonite Kingdom ( 1200 – 500 B.C ), but Ptolmey II Philadelphius, one of the generals of Alexander the Great, re-named it Philadelphia ( 258 – 246 B.C. ). Then, it became part of the Nabataean Kingdom for a long time.
During the Roman Empire Period ( 63 B.C. ), Amman became a prominent member of the Decapolis. The Byzantine built some churches in it which can be seen at Jabal al – Qal’a. They also built the Roman Theatre in downtown Amman. During the Islamic Period, the Umayyads built their palace and the remains of which are still standing on Jabal al – Qal’a near the Byzantine church.
