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
