About Jordan
One thing that Jordan doesn’t lack is a deep sense of history. From the easily recognized architectural magnificence of the Petra and the Roman ruins of Jerash, to the fading frescos in the 1,300-year-old desert castle of Quseir Amra, it is a tale of interaction with other societies that serve to embellish a nation already in possession of its own cultural wealth. There is indeed an awareness of this cultural richness among its denizens; one that allows easy accessibility, which is why Jordan is warmly receptive of its visitors and has acquired the reputation of being one of the friendliest nations in the region. While its history is legendary, equally magical is its natural beauty. The copper hued valley of the vast Wadi Rum with its rippling dunes, its cliffs that fall and merge with granite towers and wind sculpted arches certainly entices one to linger over them just that little longer. On the other hand, the clear waters of the Dead Sea beckons bruised bodies and tired souls to literally stay afloat in its healing waters while further down its southern end, Aqaba, hugging the Red Sea coastline calls out to beach seekers with its tranquil blue waters. There is so much more here to fill out a traveller’s wish list for people in their 30's and 40's. Checking them one by one could be an addictive past time.
