JordanJordan is a land rich in history. Since the dawn of civilization, Jordan
has played an important role in trade between east and west because
of its geographic location at the crossroads of Asia, Africa and
Europe. It has been home to some of mankind’s earliest settlements
and relics of many of the world’s great civilizations can still be found
today
From the ancient Nabataean city of Petra, the miracle of the Dead
Sea and Jordan Valley, the wonders of the Red Sea and Wadi Rum to
the fine hotels, shopping centres and artgalleries of modern Amman,
Jordan truly is a nation rich in history and culture
