Jordan and Israel are characterized by centuries-old cultures and different religious places, interspersed with modern cities like Amman and Tel Aviv. Although Jordan and Israel are neighboring countries, both have their own culture and traditions. In Jordan, you will discover the different cultural influences from the Ottomans, Phoenicians and Romans. In Israel, you can admire special buildings from Judaism such as the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, but you can also visit many Islamic and Christian sights. Both countries are diverse and have a lot to offer when it comes to nature. What about Wadi Mujib, Wadi Rum or the Negev desert? Besides, there are plenty of seaside resorts to relax and enjoy the Red and Mediterranean sea. 

Wining and dining is an important part of your holiday. There is a slight difference between the Jordanian and Israeli cuisine. But one thing is for sure: you will enjoy great dishes and explore new spices during your trip. In Jordan, you can enjoy delicious mezze while Israel is known for its refined cuisine!

You will undoubtedly notice the hospitality of the people in Jordan. The Jordanians will do their utmost to make you feel welcome. They will be glad to offer you some fruit or a cup of tea. The Israeli are slightly more reserved but will do their best to help you out. Residents of both countries speak English.
