From Mountains to Deserts in Jordan
During our semester programs in Jordan, students go on a number of excursions that go beyond sightseeing, but allow them to get a better understanding of the history, culture, and geography of the country. Jordan offers myriad different landscapes, historical periods, and experiences that will stick with our students and some of these locations become the most memorable part of their experience!
Some of the highlights this semester are the visit to Jerash (a Roman Decapolis city), Wadi Rum (a protected desert wilderness), Petra (the famed ruins of a Nabatean city), Mount Nebo (the place where Moses supposedly saw the Promised Land), and the Baptism Site (where Jesus was supposedly baptized).
