About Jordan
Home to Petra, the Dead Sea, and Wadi Rum — Jordan is a compact kingdom of ancient wonders, dramatic desert landscapes, and legendary Bedouin hospitality.
The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan sits at the crossroads of the Middle East. Petra — the rose-red Nabataean city carved into sandstone cliffs — is one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. The Dead Sea, at 430 m below sea level, is the lowest point on Earth. Wadi Rum's Martian landscape has starred in Lawrence of Arabia and The Martian. Roman Jerash is one of the best-preserved Roman cities outside Italy.
