Jordan Travel Guide
Jordan is a country in the Middle East, which borders Saudi
Arabia and Israel, its capital city is Amman. Officially
called the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, it lies on the East
Bank of the River Jordan and much of it is covered by the
Arabian Desert. The modern country of today was founded in
1921 and joined the United Nations in 1946. The official
currency is the Jordanian dinar and the country is two hours
ahead of GMT. The official language is Arabic, whilst
English is also widely spoken throughout the country.
After it became fully independent of British Mandate in 1946
the Jordanian Army joined other Arab nations in attacking
the new state of Israel and throughout its brief history
Jordan has always been hostile to Israel. Despite this
Jordan is one of only three Arab nations to have diplomatic
relations with Israel. It’s also seen as a pro-Western
country in the Middle East and is a major ally of the United
States and the United Kingdom.
Despite being a relatively small country Jordan has a
booming economy that’s grown year on year for more than a
decade. It’s considered the business capital of the Middle
East, due to the instability in the surrounding areas.
Tourism also contributes a significant proportion of the
country’s Gross National Product, with sights like Petra in
Wadi Musa. This is a complete city carved in a mountain in
ancient times and part of it has been designated as one of
the New Seven Wonders of the World. As well as this you can
also visit the Wadi Rum, which is a desert full of mountains
and hills and located in South Jordan. It’s known for its
association with Lawrence of Arabia.
