Film & Cinema Tourism: A Unique Way to Experience Jordan
Jordan’s dramatic landscapes, timeless desert expanses, and preserved archaeological monuments have long served as an extraordinary natural soundstage for world cinema. From timeless classics like Lawrence of Arabia and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade to modern blockbusters such as The Martian, Dune, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and Oscar-winning productions like The Hurt Locker, Jordan remains a top-tier destination for international location managers.
Simultaneously, the Hashemite Kingdom has cultivated a thriving homegrown cinematic industry. Supported by the Royal Film Commission of Jordan (RFC), co-founded by Discovery Group founder Samer Mouasher, Jordanian cinema has earned global acclaim through award-winning productions including Captain Abu Raed and the Oscar-nominated Theeb.
We use our insider knowledge to offer specialized Film & Set Tourism Series for international tour operators, alongside full-service ground logistics for incoming production crews.
