A well-travelled bridge between sea and desert, east and west, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is a land of mesmerizing beauty and contrasts, from the Jordan Valley, fertile, ever changing, to the remote desert canyons, immense and still. Visitors can explore splendid desert castles, gaze in awe at the haunting wilderness of Wadi Rum, or bathe in the restful waters of the Red Sea. Images of the ancient Nabatean city of Petra, carved from the rock over a thousand years ago, will leave you with a lasting impression of this wonderful land.

Cities

Amman

Amman, capital of Jordan, was originally built on seven hills, but it now spans over an area of nineteen hills (each known as a Jabal, Tál, Mount or Mountain). The main areas of Amman gain their names from the hills and mountains on whose slopes they lie. Much of Amman’s tourism is focused in the older downtown area, which is centred around the old souk (a colourful traditional market) and the King Hussein Mosque. Main sights to visit include Jabal Amman, a known touristic attraction in old Amman, where you can find the capital’s greatest souks, fine museums, ancient constructions, monuments, and cultural sites. Also, the Citadel hill of Amman, known as Jabal al-Qal’a, is home to the Temple of Hercules which is said to have been constructed under the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius who reigned from 161 to 180 AD. It has been inhabited for centuries, important as a military and religious site. It dates back to Roman and Byzantine times, and later work was carried out in the early Islamic era. You may also see the Roman forum and the Roman theatre – the largest theatre in Jordan – with room for 6,000 spectators. Thought to have been built between 138 and 161 AD by the Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius, it is constructed into the side of the mountain and is still used for sports displays and cultural events.

Petra

Petra, the fabled “rose red city, half as old as time”, was recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1985 due to its breathtaking grandeur and fabulous ruins. Entering through the Siq is a dramatic and atmospheric introduction to the ancient city. You come out the other side of this passage at The Treasury, a rock-cut temple that’s the most-photographed part of the site due to its starring role in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The next big thing to do is to hike up 822 steps carved out of the mountain to the Monastery building – its large, intricately carved façade and views looking out over the surrounding valleys are stunning. Other things to see include the pillars of the Hadrian Gate and the Cardo beyond it – a long street that was once the ancient city’s main thoroughfare. The rock-face holds the carved-out tomb of Nabatean ruler Uneishu, as well as other fantastical tombs named the Obelisk, Urn and the Silk Tomb. The ‘street of facades’ also holds smaller tombs that were used by less rich families.

Dead Sea

The Dead Sea, also called the Salt Sea, is a salt lake bordered by Jordan to the east, and Palestine and Israel to the west. It’s the deepest hyper saline lake in the world. This salinity makes for a harsh environment in which animals cannot flourish, hence its name. The Dead Sea seawater has a density of 1,240 kg/m³, which makes swimming similar to floating. The Dead Sea area has become a major center for health research and treatment for several reasons. The mineral content of the water, the very low content of pollens and other allergens in the atmosphere, the reduced ultraviolet component of solar radiation, and the higher atmospheric pressure at this great depth each have specific health effects. For example, persons experiencing reduced respiratory function from diseases such as cystic fibrosis seem to benefit from the increased atmospheric pressure.

Officially the Republic of Ecuador (Spanish: República del Ecuador) is a representative democratic republic in South America, ordered by Colombia on the north, by Peru on the east and south, and by the Pacific Ocean on the west. The country also includes the Galápagos Islands (Archipiélago de Colón) in the Pacific, about 965 kilometers (600 miles) west of the mainland. Ecuador straddles the equator, from which it takes its name, and has an area of 256,370 square kilometers (98,985 mi²). Its capital city is Quito; its largest city is Guayaquil. Much like the revolutionary scientific idea it’s become synonymous with, the Galápagos Islands may inspire you to think differently about the world. Nowhere else can you engage in a staring contest with wild animals and lose. You can’t help thinking you’ve stumbled upon an alternate universe, some strange utopian colony organized by sea lions – the golden retrievers of the Galápagos – and arranged on principles of mutual cooperation. Don’t come expecting to see bizarre wildlife – there are no half-penguin, half-turtle ‘penurtles, ’ no large mammals with shark fins. What’s truly special is that the creatures that call the islands home act as if humans are nothing more than slightly annoying paparazzi. The islands have taken on a mythological status. Their relationship with Charles Darwin, the islands’ most famous visitor who undoubtedly violated several park rules in riding and eating the Galápagos turtles, has become distorted and romanticized. Yet you don’t have to be an evolutionary biologist or an ornithologist to appreciate one of the few places left on the planet where the footprint of the human presence is kept to a minimum.

Cities

Quito

The capital of Ecuador, rises to an altitude of 2,850 m in the foothills of the Andes. Built on the foundations of an ancient Inca city, it is famous for its well-preserved colonial center with many 16th and 17th century churches and other structures that combine European, Moorish and indigenous styles. In particular, there is the cathedral on Plaza Grande and the Church of the Company, a richly decorated Jesuit religious building.

Guayaquil

Is a port city in Ecuador, known as an access point to the beaches of the Pacific and the Galapagos Islands. On the Simon Bolívar promenade, which runs along the Rio Guayas, stands the monument of La Rotonda. In the north, the district of Las Peña is full of colorful houses. Stairs lined with cafes and art galleries lead to the Santa Ana hill, which features a lighthouse and the chapel of Santa Ana, and offers views of the city.

The Galapagos Islands

Are a volcanic archipelago of the Pacific Ocean. They are considered one of the world’s major wildlife viewing destinations. Province of Ecuador, the archipelago lies nearly 1,000 km off its coast. Its isolated territory is home to a variety of flora and fauna, many of which are unique. Charles Darwin went there in 1835, and his observations on the Galapagos species.

Bartolome Island

Small half-moon shaped island facing Sullivan Bay, east of Santiago. Volcanic Island uninhabited, it is best known for its rock formations that come in different colors such as red, orange, green and black volcanic, the best known being Pinnacle Rock. To get there, you will enjoy a panga ride, a small boat, which will take you to the various beaches with its mangroves, ideal for swimming and diving.

Española Island (Hood Island)

In the southeast of the archipelago, Española Island is the furthest away, but it is the most interesting for bird watching: dovetail gulls, finches, lava herons, mocking birds, etc. Española Island is the only place in the world where Galápagos albatrosses breed.

Isabela Islands (Albemarle Island)

Isabela Islands, 130 km long and 82 km wide, is the largest island in the Galápagos with five volcanoes, some of which are partially active. Cerro Azul and Wolf are the two most imposing, rising to a height of about 1700 m. Arriving on the island, you will be admiring its beauty; trees with deep green leaves on black and torn rocks welcome us, the colorful village separated in two by its ocher road, very sparsely populated, its large white sand beach deploying swamp landscapes, cactuses and plants stunned by heat and drought and its volcanoes pointing to the sky…

Santa Cruz Island

Santa Cruz Island, in Spanish “Isla Santa Cruz”, also known by the English as “Indefatigable Island”. Santa Cruz is the most touristic island in the Galapagos and offers the most attractions. You will enjoy a stroll in the bustling harbor and watch the pelicans fishing. Do not miss Puerto Ayora and its Darwin International Station which is a famous center where scientist work on research and projects for conservation of the Galápagos terrestrial and marine ecosystems

Malta attracts more and more visitors every year. It has reserved the beauty of its landscapes which are at the most ancient yet very well known. From prehistoric temples, to the baroque architecture of Valletta, feasts of rabbit to festas of noisy fireworks, rattling buses to colorful fishing boats, this nation has loads of unique charm. Far from the excesses of mass tourism, Malta offers travelers a pleasant balance between authentic charm and modern comfort at prices considerably lower than many other comparable Mediterranean destinations. The celebrations are important in the life of the Maltese (which, on occasion, does not distain to drink to the health of the Knights of the Order of St. John): the calendar of religious holidays, in fact covers six months of year

Cities

Valletta

Valletta, The Fortress City, is Malta’s capital city: a living, working city, the administrative and commercial heart of the Islands. Valletta is named after its founder, the respected Grand Master of the Order of St. John, Jean Parisot de la Valette. The magnificent fortress city grew on the arid rock of Mount Sceberras peninsula, which rises steeply from two deep harbours, Marsamxett and Grand Harbour. The city is busy by day, yet retains a timeless atmosphere. The grid of narrow streets boasts some of Europe’s finest art works, churches and palaces. Walking around Valletta you’ll come across an intriguing historical site around every corner: votive statues, niches, fountains and coats of arms high up on parapets. Narrow side streets are full of tiny quaint shops and cafés, while Valletta’s main streets are lined with larger international branded shops for fashion, music, jewelry and much more.

Mdina-Rabat

Mdina is one of Europe’s finest examples of an ancient walled city and extraordinary in its mix of medieval and baroque architecture. Like nearby Mdina, Rabat played a major role in Malta’s past and is a prime source of its cultural heritage. This large provincial township was part of the Roman city of Melita, with the sites and archaeological relics found testifying to the town’s importance during the Roman period. The town is a commercial centre and acts as a market to its large agricultural hinterland. It is also well established on the tourist map due to its archaeological and historical sites: The Roman Villa (Domus Romana), catacombs, St. Paul’s Grotto and the fine churches and monasteries.

The Three Cities

The Three Cities offer an intriguing insight into Malta and its history. Left largely unvisited, these cities area slice of authentic life as well as a glimpse into Malta’s maritime fortunes. The Three Cities can rightly claim to be the cradle of Maltese history, as Vittoriosa, Senglea and Cospicua have provided a home and fortress to almost every people who settled on the Islands. As the first home to the Knights of St. John, the Three Cities’ palaces, churches, forts and bastions are far older than Valletta’s. The local communities here celebrate holy days and festas as nowhere else on the Islands. The most spectacular events are the Easter processions when statues of the “Risen Christ” are carried at a run through crowded streets.
