Jordan is a land steped in history. It has been home to some of mankind's earliest settlements and villages,
and relics of many of the world's great civilizations can still be seen today. As the crossroads of the Middle
East, the lands of Jordan and Palestine have served as a strategic nexus connecting Asia, Africa and Europe. Thus,
since the dawn of civilization, 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.
People of Syria were the inventors of those simple-looking magic-working signs, called alphabets; through which most
of the literatures of the world are preserved.
No invention compares in importance with that of the alphabet, developed and disseminated by the merchants and scribes
of ancient Lebanon. It was from these Phoenicians, who called themselves Caananites, that the Greeks derived their
letters, in turn passing them on to the Romans and the Slavs, and hence to all people of Europe.
Holyland is a fascinating country forming a unique backdrop to people with different personalities and religious
backgrounds. This is a land at the crossroads of history where profound beliefs, aspirations, and ideas have been
realized. In order to appreciate and understand the Holyland, one must "see the land, what it is..." and visit
the religious and archaeological sites to absorb its history.
It is unique in the sense of the values it represents, whether they are cultural, scientific or geographic. It
is a junction on the Eastern Shore of the Mediterranean, joining the 3 continents of ancient World.
Holyland is at the heart of a global network of land, air and sea routes. Even those who do not have the chance to
travel surely long for the birthplace of divine messages, miracles and prophets. History could be said to have
originated in the Holyland, with its many pages full of stories about battles and revolutions that were regarded as
turning points in the course of world events
