Surrounded by stunning views and agricultural land, it has been settled since the Iron Age and is linked to Roman Gadaron; it was a bishopric during the Byzantine period. Its name (Latin: Saltus) means wooded valley. Perched on mountains, As-Salt fosters a genuine society of affection and brotherhood. The city also holds historical significance as the regional capital of the Ottoman Empire. The UNESCO World Heritage Committee recognised As-Salt as “the place of tolerance and urban hospitality,” adding it to the World Heritage List as the sixth Jordanian site.

Dana Nature Reserve

The Dana Biosphere Reserve showcases remarkable beauty, history, and biodiversity. As the only reserve in Jordan that includes four distinct bio-geographical zones (Mediterranean, Irano-Turanian, Saharo-Arabian, and Sudanian), it serves as a convergence point for species from Europe, Africa, and Asia. This remarkable blend of natural ecosystems in one location is unparalleled in Jordan, where many of the reserve’s flora and fauna are quite rare. To date, the Reserve has recorded 800 plant species and 449 animal species, with 25 of these classified as endangered, including the Sand Cat, Syrian Wolf, Lesser Kestrel, and Spiny-Tailed Lizard.

Shobak Castle

Shobak Castle, also referred to as Montreal, is a significant part of the extensive network of Crusader fortresses. Constructed by Baldwin I, who later built Karak Castle, Shobak is situated on a remote hill that overlooks the trade routes below, making it a captivating site. The castle's original entrance features a dog-legged triple gate. Above this entrance stands the Crusader Church, which offers strategic views of the old village. While the primary water source was a spring on the hillside, numerous wells have been discovered within the castle's walls. Notably, a secret passage with over 350 steps leads down to the spring, allowing the castle to maintain a reliable supply of freshwater during sieges. Baldwin I's court, a large chamber with adjoining antechambers, has undergone partial reconstruction. Other areas include olive presses and an additional church. Remnants of cisterns, baths, and rainwater harvesting pipes are still visible.

These discoveries underline the site's historical and religious significance. Pilgrimage Centre: For centuries, Bethany Beyond the Jordan has attracted Christian pilgrims.

Dead Sea Region

The Dead Sea, a breathtaking natural marvel situated 427 metres below sea level, offers an ideal destination for wellness tourism and family enjoyment under the sun.

Furthermore, the Dead Sea boasts a higher concentration of atmospheric oxygen compared to most locations on Earth, enhancing its health benefits. Since ancient times, its unusually warm, highly buoyant, and mineral-laden waters have drawn visitors, including renowned historical figures like King Herod the Great and Cleopatra.
