Hey there Family Flavours family! Despite what it feels like right now, it'll be spring before we know it! Are you familiar with all of the wonderful outdoors/adventure organizations in Jordan? This a rapidly-growing niche of Jordan's tourist economy and is focused on promoting sustainable, environmentally friendly local development practices and cross-cultural connections. Plus, we all need to get outdoors more and enjoy this beautiful country! As a preview to an upcoming Family Flavours article, which features a lucky group of students from the International Community School who took a wonderful day-trip to the villages of Orjan and Rasoun, I want to give a special shout out the two organizations represented by our fabulous guides. A big thank you to Ayman, Jawad, and Ahlam from Experience
Jordan, and a big thank you to Theo from the Abraham Path Initative! You
will meet them all in an upcoming issue of Family Flavours.

Experience Jordan:
Experience Jordan was set up by a team of British, Jordanian and Palestinian outdoor enthusiasts. They have spent days exploring the sites of Jordan, both the amazing sites that are well known, as well as the little known sites that we've found and love to share. As a team, they have been exploring the sites themselves for years, taking their children, friends and family members to the quieter spots of Jordan.
Operating both weekly hikes, predetermined tour routes, and customised tours, they want to share these gems with you, let you meet the locals, taste home cooked meals, and hear stories of a nation that remains a beacon of peace and hope in a troubled region. Experience Jordan operates with over 50 years of experience offering trips in Jordan and the Middle East, and they are happy to assist you with our knowledge of the region to create the perfect trip for you.
