Jordan Journeys
Ancient treasures, spectacular desert landscapes & magical experiences
A kingdom between desert, history and sea
Jordan is a country that captivates travelers with its millennia-old history, impressive natural landscapes, and warm hospitality.

In the endless sea of sand of Wadi Rum, bizarre rock formations and vast dunes tell the stories of the Bedouins – traveling in Jordan is like a journey through time and space.
At the Dead Sea, you can enjoy relaxing hours in luxurious resorts, while the Red Sea entices with its fine sandy beaches and fascinating dive spots. The capital city, Amman, also combines contrasts: ancient sites, colorful markets, and modern boutiques tell of a country in transition.
What makes Jordan so special? The combination of deep-rooted culture, breathtaking nature, and a warmth that touches you. Whether on a customized tour, spending a night under the starry desert sky, or enjoying a stylish beach stay – with Orient Memories, you will experience Jordan individually, comfortably, and with genuine enthusiasm for this impressive kingdom.

Highlights & Experiences
From Cultural Treasures to Unique Natural Wonders – The Best of Your Destination
Spectacular Landscapes: Wadis, Deserts, and Oases in Jordan
Jordan’s landscapes are as diverse as they are impressive. Wadi Rum, with its endless sand dunes and rugged rock formations, is the country's most famous desert landscape. But there is more to discover: Wadi Mujib, Jordan’s "Grand Canyon," invites adventurers on thrilling water hikes, while Wadi Bin Hammad, with its lush palm groves, surprises as an oasis hidden within rocky terrain.
To the east, a stark volcanic landscape of dark basalt stretches across the horizon, while in the west, rolling hills dotted with olive groves create a picturesque contrast. Whether you seek the silence of the desert or the greenery of an oasis, Jordan always holds a surprise.
Capital Amman – Tradition Meets Modernity
Amman is a city of contrasts. The impressive Citadel towers over the city, telling stories of thousands of years of history, while modern cafés, boutiques, and art galleries fill the streets below. The Roman Theater, located in the heart of the city, is a living monument to the past.
But Amman is more than just a historical site. In the souks, the air is filled with the scent of spices, traditional restaurants serve delicious mezze, and rooftop bars offer breathtaking views over the city lights. If you want to experience Jordan, start your journey here – in a city where past and present seamlessly merge.
Petra & Wadi Rum – Experiences That Stay With You
There are places that leave a deep impression. Petra is one of them – a city carved into rock that glows in warm light. Walking through the narrow Siq to the legendary Treasury feels like traveling back in time. But Petra is more than just its most famous facade: the massive Monastery Ad Deir, hidden tombs, and breathtaking viewpoints make this site unforgettable.
Equally impressive is Wadi Rum. Its endless expanse, bizarre rock formations, and absolute silence make this desert one of the most magical places in Jordan. Whether on a jeep safari, hiking through narrow canyons, or spending a night under a sky filled with stars – Wadi Rum leaves lasting memories.
Dead Sea & Red Sea: Two Natural Wonders in Jordan
Two seas, two completely different experiences. At the Dead Sea, you can float effortlessly on the water's surface while the mineral-rich mud is a treat for your skin. At 410 meters below sea level, it is the lowest point on Earth – a natural wonder with healing properties.
The Red Sea, on the other hand, offers a completely different experience. In Aqaba, golden beaches blend with crystal-clear waters that are home to one of the most fascinating underwater worlds. While diving or snorkeling, you may encounter colorful corals, sea turtles, and even dolphins. Luxurious resorts provide the perfect setting to unwind after an exciting day and take in the stunning views of the sea.
Biblical & Ancient Sites – Tracing Jordan’s History
Jordan is a true treasure trove of history – a land where ancient legends and archaeological wonders come to life. In Jerash, visitors can stroll through one of the best-preserved Roman cities in the world. Temples, colonnaded streets, and a grand amphitheater recall the splendor of a bygone era.
Madaba fascinates with its exquisite mosaics, including the famous Map of the Holy Land in St. George’s Church – a masterpiece made of thousands of tiny stones. A particularly significant site is Mount Nebo, from where Moses is said to have glimpsed the Promised Land. The view stretches far across the Jordan Valley to Israel and Palestine.
Last but not least, Bethany Beyond the Jordan holds deep spiritual significance – it is believed to be the site where Jesus was baptized. Between ancient ruins and serene riverbanks, the past feels alive. Walking through these historical landmarks means traveling not just through Jordan, but through thousands of years of history.
Best Time to Visit Jordan – Climate & Tips
Jordan shines in a different light each season. Spring (March to May) brings blooming landscapes and pleasant temperatures – ideal for exploration. Autumn (September to November) is just as perfect, with warm days and cool nights.
Summers can be hot, especially in the desert, but the Red Sea offers a refreshing escape. Winters can be chilly in the mountains, yet the Dead Sea remains a warm retreat. For an authentic experience, visit Jordan outside of peak seasons to enjoy its stunning sites without the crowds.
