A well-travelled bridge between sea and desert, east and west, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is a land of mesmerizing beauty and contrasts, from the Jordan Valley, fertile, ever changing, to the remote desert canyons, immense and still. Visitors can explore splendid desert castles, gaze in awe at the haunting wilderness of Wadi Rum, or bathe in the restful waters of the Red Sea.

Packing - Jordan
The Middle Eastern Kingdom of Jordan lies between Israel and Saudi Arabia
with a small Red Sea Coastline. Rich in history, Jordan was one of the most
important points on the trade route between the East and Mediterranean,
as well as being the setting for many of the stories in the bible. With
legendary landscapes, ancient burial grounds, dozens of fortresses, and
Petra, the incredible city carved into cliff faces, you could be forgiven
for thinking that all of the attractions of Jordan are historic, but in
truth, the country is a modern, thriving place to go, unmistakeably Arabic
in tradition, but as forward thinking and welcoming as any other place in
the region, and a great place to visit and tour.
Lonely
Planet - Jordan
Bible stories, lost cities, Lawrence of Arabia - Jordan has romantic associations
up to its eyeballs. It's a country that ought to be awash with tourists,
but the Middle East's bad reputation has kept them away in droves. Don't
be fooled: Jordan is, on the whole, peaceful.
