Reasons Why A Person Should Travel To Jordan

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.

Petra is a top Jordanian attraction. Every year, people travel from all over the world to see the ancient ruins of Petra. This was an ancient rock hewn city that was the capital of the Nabataea Kingdom. The splendor of this city is still alive all though it was constructed in 300 BC. It is a great sight to behold.

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.

Jordan has always been at the crossroads of religion and culture. This region has been exposed to the three biggest religions in the world. Before Moses died, he got a glimpse of the beautiful Promised Land from Mount Nebo that is an elevated place in Jordan. John the Baptist performed many baptisms in Jordan River. Jesus Christ was baptized there.

Jordan is one of the most peaceful countries in the Middle East. Unlike its neighbors, it has never experienced major conflicts. That is because of democratic nature of the Jordanian government. There has been the peaceful transfer of power many times. In addition, the peaceful nature of Jordanians means that there are usually no terrorist attacks as is normally the case elsewhere.

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.
