NEW YORK, N.Y.— Jordan is inviting North American travellers to discover a destination where landscapes tell stories thousands of years in the making. From ancient cities carved into sandstone cliffs to vast desert landscapes and vibrant modern culture, Jordan offers authentic experiences that inspire meaningful connections and unforgettable journeys.
Recognized as one of the Middle East's safest and most welcoming destinations, Jordan continues to welcome visitors with confidence. The country's tourism industry is operating normally, supported by world-class hotels, experienced tour operators and a longstanding culture of hospitality that has made Jordan a trusted destination for travelers from around the globe.
Adding to its global appeal, Jordan recently celebrated the inscription of the Aqaba Marine Reserve on the UNESCO World Heritage List, recognizing one of the world's most significant and climate-resilient marine ecosystems. The designation joins Jordan's impressive collection of UNESCO World Heritage Sites and highlights the country's extraordinary diversity—from the ancient wonders of Petra and the desert landscapes of Wadi Rum to the vibrant coral reefs of the Red Sea.
“Jordan has always been a place where visitors are welcomed like family,” said Ahmad Kraishan, Area Marketing Manager - North America, Jordan Tourism Board. “Today, more than ever, we want travelers to know that Jordan is open, safe and ready to share experiences that create lasting memories and meaningful connections.”
Jordan is home to some of the world's most extraordinary landscapes and cultural treasures. Visitors can explore Petra, the ancient Nabataean city carved into rose-colored rock; experience the breathtaking beauty of Wadi Rum, where dramatic sandstone formations and endless desert skies create an unforgettable backdrop for adventure and stargazing; or float effortlessly in the mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea, one of the world's most unique natural wonders.
Beyond its iconic landmarks, Jordan invites travelers to immerse themselves in everyday experiences that define the country. In Amman, centuries of history blend seamlessly with a thriving contemporary culture filled with bustling cafés, art galleries and vibrant local markets. Jordan's celebrated cuisine from traditional mansaf and freshly prepared hummus to falafel and other Levantine specialties offers another way to connect with the country's heritage and renowned hospitality.
Jordan is also one of the world's great spiritual destinations. Travelers can stand atop Mount Nebo, where Moses is believed to have viewed the Holy Land, visit the Jordan River, one of Christianity's most sacred pilgrimage sites, and explore places where history, faith and culture have intersected for millennia.
Whether hiking the dramatic canyons of Wadi Mujib, camping beneath star-filled skies in Wadi Rum, wandering ancient archaeological sites or sharing a meal with local families, Jordan offers experiences that encourage travelers to slow down, connect and rediscover the joy of exploration.
Jordan's commitment to visitor safety, exceptional hospitality and diverse tourism experiences continue to make it a premier destination for leisure travelers, families, adventure seekers, cultural explorers and faith-based travelers alike.
