With a welcoming population, unique attractions, many fine restaurants and boutiques, and world-class accommodations, Jordan is a top choice for American travelers.
Unique attractions and non-stop flights from the United States
Akel E. Biltaji, Senator and Chairman of the Tourism and Heritage Committee, points out that Jordan is known for its religious sites. He says, “Jordan was the cradle of three great religious: Christianity, Islam and Judaism. Visitors can walk through plains, valleys, hills and mountains whose names are forever fixed in human consciousness by the deeds of Abraham, Moses, Lot, Aaron, Elijah, Joshua, Jesus, John the Baptist, and Muhammad.”
Travelers can also explore stunningly beautiful Petra, the natural wonders of Dana Valley and Wadi Rum, and the Dead Sea, renowned for its healing waters and luxury spas.
Tourism now accounts for around 10 percent of Jordan’s GDP, and the country aims to open more five-star hotels, to double visitor numbers and to increase room capacity. It is also focusing on hosting more conferences and on boosting its ecotourism offerings.
Jordan is safe, clean, and easy to reach, for example via Royal Jordanian Airlines, which offers non-stop flights from New York City. American travelers are particularly welcome thanks to the strong cultural and economic ties between Jordan and the United States.
