Reasons To Travel To Jordan This Year

By Joyce Rogers


The Middle East is a beautiful place. It is the birthplace of civilizations. The famous Garden of Eden was in Babylon which is part of present day Iraq. This region has two of the most powerful empires that have ever been in the world: The Babylonian and The Persian empires. There are many reasons to travel to Jordan. This country has a fair share of the wonders of Asia. That is why it usually receives many tourists each year. There are many things that one can do in Jordanian cities including enjoying nature.

The award winning Jordanian tourist attractions have never ceased to amaze. They have been awarded many prizes by UNESCO and other leading tourism organizations. Jordan is not a place that one goes for once and gets to see everything. The country has a diversity of attractions thus a person can still make a second trip and not yet fully explore everything.

The Petra ruins in this nation occupy a special place in the list of archaeological ruins. One will be amazed by the pure genius behind the construction of these ruins. It seems that even before the dawn of modern civilizations, there were great Jordanian architectural minds. These ruins are not less than three thousand years old yet they still look amazing and functional.

The Dead Sea is a world wonder right at the border between Israel and Jordan. This wonder can be enjoyed from the Israeli side and also from the Jordanian side. It is viewable from space. There is no point on planet earth that is lower than the Dead Sea. It is far much below the sea level.

Some Jordanian attractions are places of religious interest. For example, the banks of River Jordan is where Jesus Christ was baptized and where John the Baptist, preached his message of repentance. Mount Nebo is an elevated ridge found in Jordan. It is more than 800 meters above sea level and it is where Moses was granted a view of The Promised Land.

If there is an oasis of peace in the Middle East then it has to be this state. It has been political stable for decades when it neighbors like Syria and Iraq are falling into conflict and war. The country is headed by a King but there is also the position of Prime Minister and various parliamentary positions, filled through democratic elections.

Jordanians are good people. They are very friendly. Upon landing from a foreign country, one will get a warm welcome. There will be many people who will gladly show an individual around the country. The warm and inviting nature of Jordanians is the subject of many books. When one makes a Jordanian friend, he has made a friend for life.

Visiting Jordan is a great experience. One will never regret for the costs of booking a flight to Amman and the money spend on the various expeditions. In fact, value for money is highly guaranteed because there are many modern and natural attractions to be enjoyed in different parts of the state. At the end of the trip, one will be left with great nostalgia.
