Jordan Tourism partners with Expedia on new supper club experience

Jordan continues to welcome visitors from around the globe to explore its diverse landscapes and warm hospitality.

From the unveiling of a new five-star hotel to the launch of a culinary campaign with Expedia to a new UNESCO World Heritage Site appointment, Jordan is primed to offer travellers an unparalleled experience for all those who venture to the country.

The opening of The Westin Saraya Aqaba Resort & Spa represents the arrival of Westin Hotels & Resorts in Jordan.

Located by the Red Sea, the 289-room resort merges wellness and modern indulgence with Aqaba’s rich cultural heritage. Guests will enjoy opulent experiences, including four restaurants, a private beach, WestinWORKOUT Fitness Studio, Heavenly Spa by Westin, two swimming pools and a children’s club.

Situated within the Golden Triangle, the resort is also an easy drive to iconic sites such as Petra and Wadi Rum, making it an ideal base for exploring some of Jordan’s many wonders and UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

The Jordan Tourism Board partnered with Expedia to produce a Super Supper Club series highlighting Jordan’s expansive culinary scene through the lens of local chefs.

From a sunset dinner over Amman’s stunning Citadel to the southern sights of Petra, Wadi Rum and Aqaba, the two-episode feature is a love letter to Jordanian cuisine where each chef shares insights on the unique foods and ingredients that inspire their epic dinner parties.

Umm Al-Jimāl was recently added to the UNESCO World Heritage Site list making it the seventh site designation in Jordan.

Located in the country’s northeast, the rural settlement is home to nearly 2,000 years of history and culture. Developed naturally on the site of a previous Roman settlement around the 5th century CE, Umm Al-Jimāl features more than 150 well preserved basaltic structures originating from the Byzantine and Early Islamic periods that offer visitors a unique glimpse into Jordan’s rich cultural heritage.
