Trips within Jordan
Visit must-see Jordanian landmarks such as Petra and Wadi Rum, where you can interact with local Bedouins and sleep under the stars.
With its intriguing blend of local customs and a cosmopolitan attitude, preserved ancient sites alongside rapid technological and social development, Jordan provides our students with a genuine experience of the Arabic language and its culture.
Jordan?s physical location is referred to as part of the Sham (or ?the Levant?), Holy Land, an area where prophets made special prayers, treaded and walked its valleys and hilltops. Jordan is home to tombs and meeting-areas of the Prophets in both the Islamic & Biblical traditions leaving behind impressive monuments.
Palestine is home to many sacred sites and very special landmarks. This place has witnessed the birth of Judaism and Christianity and plays a very important role for Muslims as well, with Jerusalem being regarded as the spot visited by Prophet Mohammed.
Egypt welcomes all with its mighty Nile and magnificent monuments, the beguiling desert and lush delta, and with its long past and welcoming, story-loving people. With sand-covered tombs, austere pyramids and towering Pharaonic temples, Egypt brings out the explorer in all of us
In addition to trips, we also help expand students? Arabic language experience through better understanding and knowledge of present-day Jordan through workshops, Arab culture events and discussions on Jordanian politics, Islam, democracy, media, arts, human rights, the role of refugees, and multiculturalism.
