The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is one of the world’s great cultural destinations; the Biblical setting for the story of the Baptism, and home to some of the region’s most striking Crusader castles, as well as the magical hidden city of Petra. There’s also plenty to appeal to holidaymakers in search of relaxation. Modern Jordan was founded by King Abdullah I after World War I. It was ruled by his grandson, The Late King Hussein, for 46 years until his death in 1999, when his son King Abdullah II assumed the throne. Jordan has grown into a modern nation which has enjoyed a remarkable measure of peace, stability and economic growth in recent decades.

Some of Jordan's remarkable sites include:

PETRA
The most famous of all Jordan's many places of interest, Petra was the result of the advanced culture of the Nabateans, who carved a city straight out of the red limestone rock. Much of Petra's appeal comes from its spectacular setting, deep inside a narrow desert gorge, or siq, that has walls 200 metres high. Situated on an important trade route, the city flourished, though the Nabateans were forced to become experts at water conservation and relied on an ingenious and intricate complex of dams and water. Though most famous for its imposing treasury - seen in an Indiana Jones film - there are many more treasures that the city can boast, including many hundreds of buildings, temples, palaces and tombs.
WADI RUM
"Our little caravan grew self-conscious, and fell dead quiet, afraid and ashamed to flaunt its smallness in the presence of the stupendous hills." So T.E. Lawrence, in his book, The Seven Pillars of Wisdom, describes the effect that Wadi Rum has on its visitors. A series of hills thrusting out of the desert, north of the gulf port of Aqaba, it must be seen in order to appreciate its scale and beauty. Still home to Bedouin tribes, who graze their flock on its sandy, shrubby floor, Wadi Rum radiates age and history. The limestone walls bear testimony to its past, in the form of Thamudic, Safaitic, Nabataean, Greek and Arabic graffiti, stretching back almost 3,500 years.
BETHANY BEYOND THE JORDAN
A holy site that lies on the east bank of the river Jordan, 27 miles west of Amman and just a few miles away from the dead sea. It is believed that it is the place where John the Baptist baptized Jesus Christ about 2000 years ago.

This important site of early Christianity is mentioned in the Bible, and John the Baptist is mentioned in the Holy Koran as “Yahia”.

The site has been excavated a few years ago in the region of Wadi Kharrar, which later proved to be the site of Bethany Settlement –which is mentioned in the Bible- and which is nowadays called Al-Maghtas.  Many Christians are making pilgrimages to this site every year, and the late Pope John Paul II has also made it a stop as past of his pilgrimage journey to the holy sites in the middle east.
JERASH
Dubbed the "Pompeii of the East," Jerash is a Greco-Roman ruined city located 80 miles north of Amman. Nestled in a quiet valley among the mountains of Gilead, Jerash is the grandeur of Imperial Rome being one of the largest and most well preserved sites of Roman architecture in the World outside Italy. To this day, its paved and colonnaded streets, soaring hilltop temples, handsome theaters, spacious public squares and plazas, baths, fountains and city walls pierced by towers and gates remain in exceptional condition.
THE DEAD SEA
The Jordan Rift Valley is a dramatic, beautiful landscape, which at the Dead Sea, is over 400 meters (1,312 ft.) below sea level. The lowest point on the face of the earth, this vast, stretch of water receives a number of incoming rivers, including the River Jordan. Once the waters reach the Dead Sea they are land-locked and have nowhere to go, so they evaporate, leaving behind a dense, rich, cocktail of salts and minerals that supply industry, agriculture and medicine with some of its finest products.

The Dead Sea is flanked by mountains to the east and the rolling hills of Jerusalem to the west, giving it an almost other-worldly beauty.
CRUSADER CASTLES
A legacy of the troubled times during the Crusades, these castles are a testament to the resolve and architectural ingenuity of both the Christian invaders and their Arab counterparts. The most famous of these is Kerak, which lies 100 miles south of Amman. Kerak’s central fortress is surrounded by underground galleries, halls and secret passageways and was built in 1142, by Payen Le Boutellier. It protected traffic on the desert highway that bisects Jordan. The most famous Arab castle is Qala'at al-Rabadh, built in 1184 by Saladin's nephew, Usama ibn-Munqich, on the site of an ancient monastery. It overlooks the Jordan valley and has some of the most breathtaking views in the country.
