Our evaluation by month

In the heart of the Middle East and north of the Arabian Peninsula, carved in a rocky and desert landscape lies the Jordan. With a small outlet on the Red Sea west of Wadi Rum, also called the Valley of the Moon, where remnants of the prehistoric era are still present on the rocky surfaces of the desert area, Jordan has one of the most important records in terms of scenic beauty. It has breathtaking views among the most spectacular in the world.

Wadi Rum has inspired many book and movie writers of our time. Several Bedouin tribes still live in the protected desert area and traditions are still very much alive among its people.

Jordan with Petra gives mystery and magic, it manages to arouse awe and wonder in its visitors, for its position nestled in an isolated and mountainous area hidden among deep canyons, for its colors ranging from all shades of stone pink to the yellow ochre of the dusty earth and the red fire of the sunset, for its millenary architecture with the famous funerary temples up to 40 meters high, scratched into the rock and intrinsic to the mountain that supports them. A tour is the best way to visit Jordan, because in addition to Petra is the capital. Amman, where the ancient and the modern, increasingly disruptive, coexist in harmony, the Dead Sea where you can enjoy all its benefits with a dip in its salty waters, Mount Nebo

from whose summit you can admire the Holy Land and with your eyes reach Jerusalem. The best way to get to know the desert is a jeep tour, stopping for the night after dinner in a tented camp, in perfect silence and under the glare of a bed of stars that only in these places can be so bright.
