Jordan is a territory of the Asian continent in the Middle East region. Until 1950 it was known as Transjordan and now officially referred to as the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. A place that has a lot to offer for an adventurous tourist who decides to undertake a trip to this fascinating country.

The capital of Jordan, Amman has a charm that many cities want to have. It is a hybridization of Roman and Muslim culture for its aria of theaters, forums, Byzantine mosques, and churches. That unique blend provides a unique environment that allows tourists a wonderful welcome to a beautiful city. Like Israel and Palestine, Jordan enjoys access to the Dead Sea; the lowest point on earth 416 meters under the sea. The funny thing is that it is a saturated lake with distal potassium magnes. The salt content is so high they exceed 60 grams per liter and allows it to explode without any effort.

Aqaba a city of great importance to the Jordanian economy as it is an important port located in the Red Sea, a tourist site in itself due to the color of its corals as well as an excellent place to practice diving. Near Aqaba, we can find the famous Wadi Rum desert, where it is recommended to sleep in the so-called Bedouin camps. The night’s deserts are truly amazing; you can see the stars in a way never seen before, with a level of clarity even, if the favorable climate, where you can easily see the Milky Way.

Petra is quintessentially Jordan's most popular song. The grandeur of this city makes it one of the most important must-see attractions in the Middle East and receives up to 3,000 daily visitors. I might say that the person that was in Jordan and did not go to Petra was never actually in this country.

The city of Petra is world famous for its stone architecture of the mountain and its irrigation system. Expert archaeologists argue that Petra along with Machu Pichu and Angor Wat, dispute the title for being the most amazing lost city in the world. Today it is one of the seven wonders of the modern world and has been on UNESCO's list of World Cultural Heritage since 1985. The Romans during the control of the city implemented a complex irrigation system. Petra is a true masterpiece of engineering principles.

 The treasure is without a doubt the most important and impressive Petra. It is a famous imposing edifice carved out of the mountain stone and its purpose remains a mystery to modern archaeologists, but it is known to have been regarded as a site of sacred rituals and a hiding place for the most precious treasures.

Its elaborate country dishes amaze anyone who visits Jordan; and it is for this reason that anyone who is looking for an adventure place and to witness beautiful buildings recommends you to take advantage of visiting Jordan, simply a wonderful kingdom.
