Jordan, where education extends beyond classrooms

Jordan is known for its UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the ancient city of Petra and those attending will be able to learn about some of the many other reasons to visit, including fabulous cuisine, natural beauty and desert activities.

The ancient city of Petra is one of Jordan’s national treasures and by far its best-known tourist attraction. Petra is the legacy of the Nabataeans, industrious Arab people who settled in southern Jordan more than 2,000 years ago. Schools can opt for one of the many walking trails to take in the main sites (the Al-Siq to Treasury route is ideal for first-timers), and even spend time in the dedicated museum to see hundreds of ancient artefacts from different ages.

Jordan has another five UNESCO World Heritage sites which are all worth exploring. Highlights include Wadi Rum, an impressive valley cut into the sandstone and granite rocks in southern Jordan, or the small desert castle of Qasr Amra that once formed a large Umayyad complex.

Did you know that Earth’s lowest point can be found in Jordan’s Dead Sea? The country is bustling with other geographical marvels, including mountainous regions and a large desert. For something extra special, Dana Biosphere Reserve showcases the area’s varied geology with limestone, sandstone and granite rock formations to sample.

Pupils studying religious education can take part in faith tours which highlight the country’s important areas like Tell Al-Kharrar, also known as Jabal Mar-Elias (Elijah’s Hill) and the area of the churches of Saint John the Baptist near the river. Situated in a pristine natural environment, the site is believed to be the location where Jesus of Nazareth was baptised by John the Baptist.

Or for those in search of an adrenaline fix, Aqaba in the south is where students can really test their water skills and build confidence as a group. Not only are there multiple boat trips which offer scenic views of the surrounding bays, but also amazing snorkelling opportunities plus jet ski classes, canoeing and plenty more options for those looking to make a splash.
