The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan was established after World War I, in the Biblical areas of the dome of Gilead, and the territories of the historic people of Ammon, Moab and Edom, all mentioned in the Bible. The nation’s western border lies on the Jordan River extending down to the Red Sea including the Edom Mountains, and her eastern border stretch from the Syrian desert, to the Iraqi plains, and (in the southeast) the Saudi desert. This area was the main commercial route through the desert between Egypt and Mesopotamia.

The landscape is picturesque, and her trails and ancient cities reveal much to help us understand the Bible stories that played out on her sands. We can’t wait for you to see what Jordan has to offer!
