Explore Jordan's unique venues for special
events and experience some fascinating
possibilities for theme parties. Only a few of
them are listed here:
The Hijaz Railway
Just over 100 years old, this railway station
offers you an exclusively chartered old steam
engine train ride that transports visitors to an
exciting trip in the desert. Some of the fun
possibilities throughout this trip includes
musicians on board to entertain guests, robbers
on horseback to attack the train and capture
"hostages", a Bedouin tent along the roadbed for
a Lawrence of Arabia coffee break, a catered
lunch on the platform of the Jiza station, and
more.
The Hijaz Railway was built by the Ottomans to
run from Damascus (in Syria) to Mecca (in Saudi
Arabia). It was constructed in 1900, but was
never completed because of attacks by robbers,
and by Lawrence of Arabia and his men. Although
a great part of the railway was destroyed at the
time, much of the line has been rebuilt and runs
throughout Jordan.
Dinners at the Citadel in Amman
Enjoy a special evening atop one of Amman's
hills at the Citadel, in the shadow of the 2nd
century Temple of Hercules. Attend a reception
or dinner at the 8th century Umayyad Palace with
waiters dressed in costumes from that period.
Or, enjoy an evening under a Bedouin tent with
traditional Middle Eastern food and
entertainment.
An
Evening in Little Petra
Nothing can top a visit to the splendours of
Petra except a continuation of the excitement
and mystery of Little Petra with its own
1500-foot "Siq" entrance, with rock-cut
chambers. Colourful carpets line a large
candle-lit tent. Gifted musicians play during
dinner followed by a light show and dancers. It
is a magnificent finale to one of the most
impressive visits to Jordan.
A
Dead Sea Barbecue
Stay afloat in the buoyancy of the Dead Sea at
an exclusive beach. Then, enjoy a Middle Eastern
barbecue served under a tent with comfortable
seating on cushions and low tables. Immerse
yourself in the tranquillity of the moment. What
more delightful way to spend half a day at only
an hour's drive from Amman.
Dine in the Crusader Castle of Karak
Descend deep into the 12th century Karak Castle
to the vaulted underground Great Hall for a
memorable meal. Candles dance, musicians
perform, and you can visualize life during
Crusader days.
Back into Roman History in Jarash
Join a quest for hidden treasures that leads you
through the splendid ruins and historical paths
of this ancient Roman city. You will be divided
into teams with a map that guides you throughout
the treasure hunt. After the treasure is
found and coffee served, you can play Roman
style team games and have lunch in this
spectacular setting.
An
Evening at Kan Zaman Village
This century-old village of Kan Zaman is today a
charming complex of shops and a handicraft
centre, cafes and a large restaurant located in
what originally were huge, high-ceiling stables.
The shops sell everything from spices to
antiques, and you can watch the artisans
practice their trades in many of them. Local
music provides the background for a delicious
home-style dinner.
1001 Arabian Nights Dinner
This theme dinner is organized in one of the
deluxe hotels in Amman. A Bedouin tent, rich
decor and waiters in costume provide the
ambiance of a Sultan's palace. Seating is
Oriental style at low tables. Live musical
entertainment, a folklore troupe, and belly
dancers enhance a magical evening. |
