JORDAN

Welcome to the Official Website of the WAHO Jordan 2022 Conference.

Dear WAHO Members,

friends and fellow lovers and caretakers of the Arabian horse, It gives me great pleasure to welcome you all to Jordan for the WAHO 2022 Conference. After the unforeseen circumstances which forced so many of us to be so far apart, we open our arms to welcome you all and ensure that during your stay with us you enjoy our traditional Jordanian hospitality to the full.

Arabian horses have been an integral part of Jordan's culture and history since time immemorial, and we are very proud that in this modern age we still have so many excellent representatives of the very qualities for which our local Arabian horses were famous. During the Conference week, we arranged to showcase some of our horses in a special Parade and visits to Stud farms and the Al Ma'wa Reserve for Nature and Wildlife.

Apart from the planned business conference days, which will include talks from interesting guest speakers both locally and internationally, we have put together an itinerary that will take you on a cultural journey. Jordan has a lot to offer from the wonders of Petra, the magical sand of Wadi Rum, shores of the Red Sea, to the hills and trees of our beautiful south. Our pre- and post-conference tours will have something for everyone covering everything from the natural environment to history and culture of Jordan.

I do hope that during your stay you will experience all that Jordan has to offer at first hand. I very much look forward to sharing our country, our culture, our history and our horses with you.

Jordan

ABOUT

The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, a place which once captivated ancient travelers, continues to enthrall a new generation with its eclectic mix of modernity and tradition. Jordan is a land steeped in history. As the crossroads of the Middle East, our country has served as a strategic nexus; connecting Asia, Africa, and Europe. Since the dawn of civilization, Jordan's location and geography has given it an important role as a conduit for trade and communications; connecting the orient with the west.

From the enchanting red sands of Wadi Rum to the restless city centre of urban Amman, from the famous ruins of civilizations once forgotten to its less well-known natural environments, Jordan is a unique destination that attracts visitors young and old to experience its countless wonders. We invite you to come and share them with us at the WAHO Jordan 2022 Conference

Special

Special thanks to Gabriele Boiselle for her generous donation of her work to be used in the WAHO 2022 conference material, from her special photoshoot of Arabian Horses around Jordan. The Selected cover picture of one of the mares from the Royal Stables in front of the treasury in Petra is amongst one of her many pictures which we have used and appreciate.
