A daily Iftar will take place at the Senate Coffee Shop with a variety of Arabic

The French Quarter restaurant and bar will have Ramadaniate with the popular

“This is a very attractive offer for travellers from other parts of the Middle East
and overseas, who are planning to spend Ramadan in Jordan,” said Ismail
Hassan, the hotel’s general manager.
“The hotel is the perfect base for families and individual visitors who want to
divide their time between relaxing and exploring the country.”
The 218-room hotel has 18 luxury suites, 20 executive rooms, executive
lounge and four internationally themed restaurants, a fitness centre and
outdoor swimming pool. There are also three meeting rooms, a business centre and banquet hall for up to 1,000 delegates and a great selection of
shops.
From Amman, hotel guests can follow the tourism trail to a wide range of
historical, religious and geographical attractions; from the Dead Sea - the
lowest point of earth - to 1,400 metre-high mountains, Wadi Rum desert and
the intriguing ancient cities of Jerash and Petra.
Other attractions include the 12th century fortresses of Qasr Al Shawbak and
Ajloun, a wide range of other desert castles, the former Roman spa of Um
Qais, whose universal climate has attracted writers, artists, poets and philosophers and the ancient town of Pella, thought to have been inhabited in
early 5000 BC.
Visitors can also go to the Roman city of Jerash, with its solitary Arch of
Triumph, erected to honour the visit of Emperor Hadrian in AD129 and ancient
Madaba, rebuilt after being attacked and destroyed by the 10th century
Aramaeans.
Famous for its therapeutic characteristics, the Dead Sea is 400 metres below
sea level. More natural marvels are also uncovered among the giant sandstone mountains and dunes of Wadi Rum, described spectacularly in the
writings of T.E. Lawrence. |
