Amidst the surroundings of the rocky desert of the Northern Arabian Peninsula lies this beautiful destination that offers a rich culture and experience to all visitors
Among popular beach holidays, Jordan has been gaining quite a lot of popularity these days. Officially known as the ‘Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan’, this country gets its name from the Jordan River which covers most of the area of the country’s northwest border. Though there are many myths surrounding the name of the river, the most famous one is that the river derives its name from the Semitic word ‘Yarad’, which means ‘the descender’. Adding to this, the area that forms the modern country of Jordan today was known as ‘Transjordan’, meaning ‘Across the Jordan’.
The country boasts about its rich heritage and now, with cost-effectively priced online Jordan tour packages from India, it is becoming easier for travellers to plan a trip here. Jordan is located at the crossroads of the Asian, African, and European continents in the Levant area of the Fertile Crescent, which is known as a cradle of civilisation. The area covers about 89,341 square kilometres and is approximately 400 kilometres long, at its northernmost and southernmost points, namely Umm Qais and Aqaba. If you do plan a visit to this enchanting destination, tours of Amman, the capital of Jordan, are a must for your itinerary. Sightseeing tours of Amman can truly leave you mesmerized with the beauty. That being said, do ensure that your Jordan package from India also includes places like Wadi Rum, the Dead Sea, etc., so you can enjoy a complete vacation. The country is a beautiful amalgamation of history and beauty that will make your trip a memorable one.
