Yoga retreat in Jordan
25 - 29 March 2022

It is a country at the crossroads of the continents of Asia, Africa and Europe.

Jordan enjoys a range of geographical features, starting from the Jordan Rift Valley in the West ending at the desert plateau of the East, with a range of small hills running the length of the country in between.

Jordan is home to the Dead Sea, which is considered the lowest point on earth lying - 408 meters below the Sea Level. The highest point in Jordan, in contrast, is Jebel Umm El Dami, which lies 1854 meters above sea level.

Jordan represents some important Eastern old cultures. That appears in some of the existing monuments such as the city of Petra, which is a huge tourist attraction for tourists from different countries.

According to the Jordanian Ministry of Tourism report, Jordan has more than 100,000 archaeological sites; some of them are still in its original state, such as the city of Petra and Jerash. Jordan is also part of the Holy Land and therefore attracts a number of visitors to do some activities of the pilgrimage. The holy sites of Jordan mentioned in the Bible are: Mount Nebo, Madaba, Al-Maghtas, location for the Baptism of Jesus and Umm ar-Rasas. Modern attractions include Amman, Aqaba and the Dead Sea, which is also a place for recreation, rest and holiday.

The climate in Jordan is characterized by warm, dry summers and mild, wet winters, with annual average temperatures ranging from 12 to 25 C and summertime highs reaching the 40 C in the desert regions.
