From Amman, hotel guests can follow the tourism trail to a wide range of historical, religious and geographical attractions; from the Dead Sea  - the lowest point of earth - to 1,400 metre-high mountains, Wadi Rum desert and the intriguing ancient cities of Jerash and Petra.
Other attractions include the 12th century fortresses of Qasr Al Shawbak and Ajloun, a wide range of other desert castles, the former Roman spa of Um Qais, whose universal climate has attracted writers, artists, poets and philosophers and the ancient town of Pella, thought to have been inhabited in early 5000 BC.
Visitors can also go to the  Roman city of Jerash, with its solitary Arch of Triumph, erected to honour the visit of Emperor Hadrian in AD129.
