Jordan is a special "blessing" the country-so it unanimously called Christians, Muslims and Jews. Cultural richness, it owes its history, as in Jordan over the centuries were crossed and subjected to the mutual influence of different traditions: Roman, Arabic, Greek, Semitic, Persian, and finally the British. All this had an impact on the cultural and architectural image of the country, as well as the manners and customs of its inhabitants. Great importance is also the location of Jordan. After all, it is the Holy Land, a place of exceptional importance for the three major monotheistic world religions, which the Bible calls "God's Garden", and the Koran "blessed beginning started. Almost half of humanity, this land is the geographical and spiritual center of the faith. So, during our trip we will go biblical ways, leading through the Jordan Valley, Dead Sea, Wadi Al - Harrar, place the alleged baptism of Christ, on Mount Nebo, where Moses died before he saw the Promised Land. We will meet located on the Royal Road Amman, the city where modernity coexists with tradition, see Jerash-extant ancient Roman city, the desert palaces of the rulers of the Umayyad dynasty, the mighty castles of the Crusaders and Petra Nabatean city carved into the rocks. We're going after Lawrence of Arabia through canyons and mountain bridge wilderness of Wadi Rum, and, standing on Mount Nebo, Oquinn look biblical Jordan Valley and Dead Sea. Looking at today's desert landscape, which stretches from the top, it's hard to imagine that this was a country that God promised the Israelites of Yahweh, where once - that flowed with milk and honey. Climate change, overgrazing and deforestation have transformed this once fertile region into a desert. Throughout the trip we will be accompanied by a warm and friendly atmosphere. Unfortunately, this pastoral picture overshadowed the events of November 2005, when the attacks on three hotels in Amman killed 60 persons and more than 100 people were wounded. This is another Jordan, who lives in fear in the face of possible terrorist attacks. Police and security services of the country is now in a state of high alert. Alas, not only depends on us, which of these two images of Jordan will remain in our memory.
