Welcome to the Hashemite kingdom of Jordan

Ahlan wa sahlan,

We had no idea that Jordan has so much to offer.There are some world famous historical and cultural sites, but also breathtaking nature and pilgrimage routes. So you can say Jordan is an eye opener.

The people of Jordan are very friendly and although the Bedouins are traditional and still live in tents (while we cannot camp in the wild), although next to the camel a 4W car is parked, the other half of the population is rather modern. Furthermore they are all very tolerant. Christians and Muslims live together, along with a lot of Palestinian refugees. Everywhere you see the photographs of their King and the former King Hussein who died in 1999. Everyone is very proud of their royalty.
