Jordanian DMC professionals with a solid portfolio of successful cases will implement an original project in any location you choose.

FOR A SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM YOU NEED TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT HOTEL

The hotels in Jordan gave us our very first impressions. There are more than five hundred of them in the country. In every place we visited, we saw comfort and coziness, we felt the regional flavor and got acquainted with the culture of the country.

JORDAN — AN OPEN-AIR MUSEUM

DEAD SEA MARRIOTT RESORT & SPA

This is the essence of what we expect from a world class resort. First of all, the wonderful atmosphere is memorable: all conditions for excellent relaxation and solving any corporate problems are created here. For business meetings, the hotel provides both indoor and outdoor venues with picturesque panoramic views, guaranteeing vivid impressions from the events. For MICE: Grand Vartanii Ballroom for 400 guests, 5 conference rooms from 20 to 80 guests, a two-tier barbecue terrace with sunset views, “408 BELOW” platform for up to 1,800 guests and Fishing Club for up to 1,200 guests (banquet/reception).

MÖVENPICK RESORT & SPA DEAD SEA

Having collected countless awards in various categories, Mövenpick Resort & Spa Dead Sea attracts not only the exclusivity

of the service, but also its design concept. Imagine a traditional Arab village nestled in lush gardens, surrounded by desert and sea. It's always a pleasure to find yourself in an atmospheric hotel that will add charisma to your memories of the country. However, this “village” will offer business tourists a variety of venues with Arabic charm to host a variety of business events for up to 1,500 participants.

CROWNE PLAZA JORDAN DEAD SEA RESORT & SPA

An elegant Moroccan-style resort and spa hotel will especially please those who love quality beach holidays, promenades by the sea, excellent gastronomic diversity and prefer to solve corporate problems at venues whose service has been awarded the “Meeting Service Excellence” award. Here is the largest swimming pool in Jordan, “The Lake” (5,000 sq. m.) and the largest sandy beach on the Dead Sea.

KEMPINSKI HOTEL ISHTAR DEAD SEA

If you have an idea to host a significant event in an outdoor area, pay attention to this hotel. Here you will be offered several spaces at once that will remind you of the multi-level hanging gardens of Babylon with their cascading waterfalls, lagoons and landscape luxury. It was this miracle of the ancient world that inspired architects and designers to create the resort. From the main memories: 5 open areas for events with luxurious views and the unique Jordanian dish Mansaf at the Obelisk restaurant.

HILTON DEAD SEA RESORT & SPA

The resort complex is a real “salty” paradise for business travelers. It is called the hallmark MICE card of Jordan. Here, business tourists will be able to appreciate the high technology of the resort congress center. Its multi-tasking infrastructure is aimed at hosting a wide variety of events.

KING HUSSAIN BING TALAL CONVENTION CENTRE BY HILTON

Jordan's largest convention center, King Hussain Bing Talal Convention Center (KHBTCC), has become the main point of attraction for business, politics and culture, not only because of its versatility and super equipment. A pleasant bonus is its location on the shores of the Dead Sea as part of a five-star resort complex. The congress center building is a three-level platform combining 27 large halls, exhibition spaces, spacious lounges, open terraces, meeting rooms, press centers and VIP areas. A wellthought-out infrastructure allows several events of different directions to be held simultaneously.

HAVE YOU HEARD OF AQABA?

Aqaba is Jordan's only seaport and even the only seaside resort with a 27-km coastline. It is located on the northern coast of the Red Sea and is rapidly gaining popularity. The history of Aqaba began 6,000 years ago, as can be seen from its historical sites. The location of Aqaba plays an important strategic role. It's unique! The border with Egypt and Saudi Arabia is half an hour's drive away. Here we get the “Golden Triangle” for leisure and business tourism.

Almost all international hotel chains operating in Jordan are represented in Aqaba (including the all inclusive system), and there are also local brands. Three-star hotels can be compared to good quality hotels in Europe. The number of conference rooms

is in the hundreds.

The King of Jordan, His Majesty Abdullah II, has personally expressed his desire for Aqaba to become a major tourist hub. The region is being developed with the support of the Jordanian government, and there are plans to make this destination the gateway to the country.

GREEN TRAVELERS CHOICE — AYLA LUXURY CLUSTER

The Ayla cluster is located in a turquoise lagoon on the Red Sea coast — it is paradise on earth incarnate. The source for eco-design is nature itself, abovewater solar panels are used to generate clean energy, and the coral nursery preserves one of the most unique marine ecosystems in the world.

The coastal resort of Aylay is located just five minutes from the center of Aqaba and 10 minutes from the international airport. The cluster owns a gorgeous 17 km long beach and numerous recreational areas. Jordan's best golf courses and yacht club are also located here. In Ayla you can buy your dream home, book a vacation at the luxury premium resort Hyatt Regency Aqaba Ayla Resort 5* or in the stylish luxury apartments Cloud 7 Residence Ayla Akaba 5*.

INCENTIVE TRIPS WITH A WOW EFFECT ADVENTURE TEAM BUILDING IN WADI MUJIB

This is the lowest nature reserve in the world. The elevation difference between its highest and lowest points is 1,300 meters. There are five main hiking routes available here: three river and two land, including ziplining. All routes are the most picturesque, interesting and driving in the entire Kingdom, so they are perfect for adventure team building.

ACTIVITIES IN WADI RUM NATURE RESERVE

Filming location for world-famous blockbusters with star-themed themes. In the “Moon Valley” you will be captivated by the tall sandstone mountains, cut by canyons — these are where the most exciting hiking routes are located. The reserve can be explored in several ways: by off-road vehicle with a driver-guide (1 day), in a more exotic way — on a camel with a guide (2 days), or in a panoramic bird's eye view — in a hot air balloon (seasonal).

SKYDIVING OVER THE DEAD SEA

If you want to get a wow experience exponentially, you should take part in group skydiving over the “salty pearl”. Admiring the incredible views, you will soar in a leisurely free fall at a speed of 200 km/h. Skydiving does not require any special preliminary preparation; it is important to strictly follow the instructions of experienced instructors.

AND A LITTLE ABOUT UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITES IN JORDAN

Despite its compact territory, Jordan has collected about 20 monuments in its possessions, either already included in the UNESCO World Heritage List or among the candidates.

THE ANCIENT CITY OF PETRA (made famous in the movie Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade). It is advisable to devote at least two

days to getting to know each other. Please note that twilight or the soft light of candles in the night illuminates the color palette of the rocks in a new way and highlights the virtuosity of the carvings of the ancient masters.

THE ANCIENT RESIDENCE OF THE CALIPHS OF QUSEIR AMR.

70 km from Amman. Judging by the external safety of the castle, wars and invasions for one and a half millennia passed it by. The walls and ceilings of the palace are literally strewn with medieval frescoes. The most valuable in Quseir Amr were the reception hall and the bath complex, reminiscent of Roman baths.

ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE "BETHANY BEYOND THE JORDAN".

9 km from the Dead Sea. Stunning archaeological finds collected in the area of the Jordan River, which the Bible calls “Bethany beyond the Jordan,” confirmed that this was where the meeting of Christ and the future John the Baptist took place. It is best to visit during the flowering period, when the source is full of water and surrounded by rich vegetation. We recommend taking a shirt for ablution.

WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE JORDAN TOURISM BOARD (JTB) AND THE AQABA GLOBAL ECONOMIC ZONE AUTHORITY FOR HOSTING US.
