Jordan is a land steeped in history. It has been home to some of mankind’s earliest settlements and villages, and relics of many of the world’s great civilizations can still be seen today.
As the crossroads of the Middle East, the lands of Jordan have served as a strategic nexus connecting Asia, Africa and Europe. Thus, since the dawn of civilization, Jordan’s geography has given it an important role to play as a conduit for trade and communications, connecting east and west, north and south. Jordan continues to play this role today.
A land of Biblical stories, lost cities and Lawrence of Arabia, Jordan is a magical and untapped country simply oozing romance and mystery. If it was located in any other part of the world, Jordan would be awash with tourists. But the source of its wealth of amazing sites is also the cause of its isolation. The dangerous and unstable reputation of the Middle East keeps out all but the most intrepid travelers. But here’s the great surprise: Jordan is, on the whole, a very safe, peaceful and friendly country.
Despite being a small country, Jordan has always been at the heart of power struggles in the Middle-East since it lies at the crossroads of what Christians, Jews and Muslims call the Holy Land. Yet this is what attracts so many visitors. Jordan is home to cities that were thriving long before the birth of Christ. You can walk the same roads mentioned in the Old Testament, among a landscape that hasn’t changed much in the last 2,000 years. Visit the lost city of Petra, considered the eighth wonder of the world or watch chariot races in the restored Roman Hippodrome at Jerash. Stand on the very spot where Jesus was baptized by John in the Jordan River and follow the footsteps of Lawrence of Arabia from his headquarters at Azraq into the wild Wadi Rum.
There are many world-class hotels in Jordan offering luxury, excellent facilities and entertainment. If you would prefer something slightly less extravagant, there are many mid-range hotels available offering good facilities and service and ideal for the entire family.
The highlights are endless and best of all, there really aren’t that many tourists to obscure the atmosphere. You can ride camels in the desert with Bedouin nomads and then go scuba diving in the stunning underwater world of the Red Sea. It’s this range of activity that makes Jordan such an amazing destination and the traveler who is willing to make the journey will be well-rewarded. So don’t let the inherent dangers of the greater Middle-East deter you from exploring the relatively safe and peaceful land of Jordan.
