Responsible Tourism

Discover Jordan recognises the social, economic and environmental responsibilities of tour operating.

The operator supports the following to reduce any negative impact:

• Discover Jordan supports the Brooke Hospital; an equine charity that helps thousands of working horses, donkeys and mules and the countless people who depend on them for their own survival
  Founded in Egypt in 1934 by a compassionate English woman called Mrs. Dorothy Brooke, the purpose of the Brooke was to save ex-cavalry horses, British, American and Australian, abandoned in Egypt after World War One. From humble beginnings as The Old Warhorse Memorial Hospital, the Brooke has grown into an international lifesaver reaching over 500,000 working equine animals each year in Egypt, Jordan, India and Pakistan and through partnerships in Afghanistan, Kenya and Guatemala. By providing free veterinary care, education and training, the Brooke ensures the animals are healthy, happy and fit for work - and benefiting the several million family members who are supported by their labours.
  Donations from past clients have provided shades and drinking troughs for carriage horses, and support the veterinary care offered by the Brooke. More information from www.thebrooke.org.
