Jordan, an enchanting land of ancient wonders and timeless desert landscapes, offers a mesmerizing travel experience. From the legendary rose-red city of Petra and the sweeping dunes of Wadi Rum to the restorative, mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea and the vibrant, hospitable atmosphere of Amman, Jordan is steeped in rich history and warm Middle Eastern hospitality.
Socializing and sharing meals are central to Jordanian life, where hospitality is a sacred tradition. While traditional non-alcoholic favorites like refreshing mint-lemonade (Limonana) and rich cardamom-infused Arabic coffee are daily staples, social gatherings and evening dinners often feature local beers like Petra or Amstel, regional wines, and traditional Arak—the classic aniseed spirit served with ice, water, and an array of delicious mezze.
A warm and festive way to say cheers when raising a glass in Jordan is Kassawa! (or Kasak!, meaning "your glass").
