Visitors to Jordan are no longer required to take a PCR test before entering the country or take another PCR test upon arrival at airports and other entry points.
Inside Look:
At the crossroads of the Middle East, Jordan's geography has given it an important role to play as a conduit for trade and communications, connecting east and west, north and south. Jordan continues to play this role today.
From the haunting, primeval starkness of Wadi Rum to the teeming center of urban Amman, from the majestic ruins of bygone civilizations to the timeless splendor of the Dead Sea, Jordan is unveiled as a unique destination offering breathtaking and mysterious sights, high standard accommodations, exquisite cuisine, and countless activities that can provide visitors with inspiration, motivation, and rejuvenation.
The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, which once captivated ancient travelers, continues to enthrall a whole new generation as a modern, vibrant nation.
With the Mediterranean on one side and Arabia on the other, Jordan sits at a natural crossroads between Europe and the Middle East, posing as a convenient meeting point for visitors coming from across the globe. The country is home to three airports with an increasing number of international flights offering enhanced access, both within the region and further afield as more and more international carriers look to utilize Jordan’s strategic location as a gateway between two continents.
In Conference:
No two conferences need ever be the same in Jordan, where a wide choice of venues cater to events of all sizes. It’s one of several destinations that combine world-class conference facilities with an extraordinary setting, presenting event planners with a range of options when it comes to organizing large-scale international events in the country. Event planners will find that a wide selection of conference venues cater to all requirements for functions in Jordan. One of the kingdom’s premier venues is The King Hussein Bin Talal Convention Centre. Located on the shores of the Dead Sea, this enormous structure houses some 25 conference halls in addition to lounges, foyers, and outdoor spaces, presenting a vast 24,000 square meters of meeting and event space.
A number of hotels across the kingdom also offer conference facilities with a variety of ballrooms, business centers, and function rooms catering to both large and small gatherings. Whether choosing a hotel facility or one of the stand-alone conference venues, planners benefit from the support of on-site destination management companies and professional conference organizers carrying a longstanding experience of hosting events in Jordan.
Destination With a Difference:
Breathtaking scenery, extraordinary venues, and ultra-modern facilities create the ideal setting for both business and leisure in Jordan.
As a major MICE destination in the MENA region, Jordan presents a strong proposition for meeting planners looking to leverage the country’s world-class business facilities, strategic location, and abundance of natural attractions. A period of significant development has seen the birth of a new business landscape in Jordan, with modern meeting venues that feature the latest innovations in design and technology.
A destination where a large-scale conference center overlooks the Dead Sea, a function facility sits in the heart of the Ajloun forest, or a gala dinner can be set up among ancient ruins at the Amman Citadel. This all goes hand-in-hand with endless opportunities for team-building and incentive packages; from a tour around Petra, the famous Nabatean city that glows rose-red at sunset, and a visit to the holy sites around Mount Nebo, to visiting the Roman ruins at Jerash, which rival any outside of Rome.
Other options include a journey into the dramatic desert landscape of Wadi Rum, team-building on the shores of the Dead Sea, or a relaxing break in the healing waters of the Ma’in Hot Springs, which provide the perfect antidote to a busy week in the boardroom. For short trips, the urban attractions of Amman offer plenty of scope for client entertainment or incentive experiences, from five-star dining to world-class shopping and entertainment facilities.
Ready for Business:
Jordan offers a host of opportunities for event planners, from small-scale functions to gala dinners and international conferences.
Diverse attractions and a well-established business infrastructure position the Hashemite Kingdom as a competitive candidate for MICE tourism in the region. As the sector continues to grow, accounting for an ever-increasing share of the global travel market, companies are seeking out new overseas sites to host their meetings, conferences, and events. More and more, regional and international groups are looking at Jordan as a desirable destination to host their events in the Middle East.
In addition to targeting business from sectors that build on Jordan’s existing strengths, including medical tourism, the pharmaceutical industry, humanities and religious studies, and information technology, the kingdom has earmarked regional association and not-for-profit events as an area for expansion. Its strategic location in the heart of the Middle East and status as a base for non-profit organizations in the region positions Jordan as a natural hub for the sector and an ideal meeting point for those in the field.
