ROCS GROUP, ST ANNE STREET, FLORIANA WWW.ROCSHOLIDAYS.COM • 2015 1515 • TRAVEL@ROCSGRP.COM Jordan Golden deserts, rose-red cities, sacred mountains, ancient trade routes and legendary hospitality make Jordan a land of enduring wonder. THE DESERT KINGDOM Often described as a crossroads of civilisations, Jordan reveals its magic through layers of history carved into stone and sand. This is a country where time slows, where silence speaks, and where every horizon tells a story. From lively city streets to vast desert skies, Jordan invites travellers to experience a land shaped by faith, resilience and human ingenuity. Journeying through Jordan is an immersion in contrast. Bustling urban life gives way to forgotten kingdoms, Roman grandeur and biblical landscapes, all framed by dramatic valleys and sun-scorched plateaux. The rhythm of life here is deeply rooted in tradition, yet effortlessly welcoming — guided by a culture that values generosity, storytelling and connection. Etched into cliffs and crowned by fortresses, Jordan’s heritage is both monumental and intimate. Ancient cities rise from the dust, desert strongholds stand as echoes of powerful dynasties, and sacred viewpoints overlook lands that have inspired pilgrims for millennia. Stone, wind and light combine to create scenery that feels timeless, spiritual and profoundly cinematic. With ROCS Travel, your journey through Jordan is thoughtfully curated to reveal the soul of the Hashemite Kingdom. Discover a capital that blends ancient foundations with contemporary life, where Roman remains sit alongside cafés, markets and modern culture. Travel through landscapes shaped by empires and belief, across deserts once crossed by caravans, and into valleys where nature and history exist in remarkable harmony. Jordan is more than a collection of iconic sights. It is the stillness of dawn over endless sands, the warm glow of carved stone at sunset, the generosity of a shared meal, and the quiet power of walking in the footsteps of countless generations. From awe-inspiring scenery and sacred heritage to moments of reflection and refined comfort, Jordan offers a journey that remains long after the road home.
