Desert
castle, The Caliphs of the first dynasty, the Umayyads, loved the
desert and sought to renew themselves in small, lovely palaces in the
desert. Here, the Caliphs would spend their days hawking, hunting and
horse racing, followed by the Turkish Bath in the evening. The best
examples of the desert castles are found in the east of Jordan. |

The
Dead Sea At the northern end of the Great Rift Valley lies the Jordan
Valley, the lowest point on the surface of the earth. At the Dead Sea, it
is more than 400 meters below sea level. The valley is typically
Mediterranean, with mild winters and hot summers. The valley also has
profound meaning for religious travelers. The Jordan River is known as the
place Jesus was baptized and near where John the Baptist lived. |

Wadi
Rum, a place where you feel that the world belongs to you. "Wadi Rum"
is like a moon scape of ancient valleys and towering, weathered sandstone
mountains rising out of the white and pink colored sands. Much of David
Leon's "Lawrence of Arabia" was filmed there and it was also the location
where Lawrence himself was based during the Arab revolt. |

Red Sea
Resort, Aqaba, where fantasy, sun, sea and the atmosphere of antiquity
charm and where the visitors can enjoy themselves, at any time of the
year, in water sports, and winter warmth. Aqaba is warm, sunny and
inviting; fringed with palm trees; lapped by the crystal clear water of
the gulf of Aqaba; cooled by a steady northerly breeze; and, ringed by
mountains that change in color with the change of the hour. |

Zarqa
Ma'in,The hot springs at Zarqa Ma'in and nearby Ain ez Zara
provided relief from rheumatism for Herod the Great during the last years
of his life. In Genesis 36:24, references to the hot springs discovered by
the first kings of Edom probably refer to these springs.The hot springs
and sulfer springs in the area have made Zarqa Ma'in a popular destination
for rest and relaxation. The naturally hot waters cascade down impressive
waterfalls and mix together with cold water, in season, before flowing
into the Dead Sea.Particularly in springtime, the area hotels are filled,
and thousands of people bathe in the covered and uncovered
pools. |
