An eclectic mix of tradition and modernity
Breathtaking sights and majestic ancient ruins, luxurious hotels and exquisite cuisine: there’s a wealth of attractions to draw you to Jordan. A visit to this beautiful country is about appreciating the past just as much as the present, as you soak up historic architecture before heading out on adrenaline-filled desert adventures, getting to know the incredibly welcoming Jordanians along the way.
The most famous site is the architectural wonder of Petra. Dating back to around 300 BC, it’s both a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the Wonders of the World. The series of tombs and temples carved into the pink sandstone cliffs is simply majestic as it comes into view as you pass through the Al Siq canyon.
Elsewhere, spend time drinking in the stark beauty of Wadi Rum, enjoy the diverse culture of Amman, head to the Dead Sea for activities in and on the water, and get a taste of beach life in Aqaba.
The final ingredient that brings an unforgettable Jordan experience together is discovering the country’s exquisite cuisine. From mansaf, a traditional dish of lamb cooked in a sauce of fermented dried yogurt and served with rice, to syrupy sweet and crispy knafeh for dessert, dining in Jordan might just be the highlight of your trip.

We’ve traveled with Jacada several times (5 or more) and each one is spectacular. The hotel selection, local guides, and trip coordination are all customized and on target with our style. Our most recent trip was to Morocco…. Our favorite part was a toss up between the Agafay desert stargazing vs the Essaouria exploring vs the food tour in Marrakech.…
We booked a 9 day trip to Egypt through Jacada travel (we are avid travelers but had not worked with Jacada before). Trip was for four with two of our adult children. We visited Cairo/Aswan/Abu Simbel/Luxor and Hurghada on the Red Sea. We did this trip by land vz a boat on the Nile (either means are a great option).…
Kudos to Jack and Grace for coordinating all the details for our spectacular two weeks in Egypt and Jordan. They listened to our preferences and selected perfect, luxurious properties where we seemed to always land in one of the best rooms. We moved around quite a bit, and their drivers, airport valets and guides were with us every step for…
Jacada was our first choice for creating a memorable holiday experience. It all began with a very empathetic phone call where they carefully listened to our preferences, dos, and don’ts. We were kept well-informed throughout the booking process. Everything was so well-organized that there wasn’t much we wanted to do differently. We completely trusted their recommendations for hotels, guides, drivers,…
We loved our trip Jacada planned for us in Egypt. It was a once in a lifetime experience. Jacada was able to get in EVERYTHING we wanted to see in Egypt without feeling too rused. The whole experience of planning was fun and easy. Can't wait to plan more trips
