Reasons To Travel To Jordan

By Joyce Rogers


The Middle East is a very beautiful place. It is an area of great significance because it is right at the center of the world. This region has always played a central role in world politics since time immemorial. It is a place of top geopolitical significance. Babylon Empire once ruled the world and it is part of present day Iraq. Modern day Iran was once the Persian Empire. Jerusalem has always been a centre of religion and commerce. One needs to travel to Jordan to see that amazing side of the Middle East rarely featured in the news.

Jordan tourist attractions are many and diverse. One will never fully explore them in a short visit. There will be need for a long visit of at least more than one month so that one can fully see the many things that this nation has to offer. When the trip is over, a person will look forward to making a repeat visit.

At the top of the list are the Petra ruins. These have been mentioned in many historical books and they are the subject of a number of archaeological studies. The Petra ruins are the remains of a very ancient civilization that greatly excelled in the field of architecture because of nature of these ruins. They are beautiful 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.

A country is just as good as its people. The Jordanian lot, are a great people who hate war and always strive for peace. Most importantly, they are very friendly. That is why tourists always feel at home in this nation. One will never get lost when in Amman or any other Jordanian city. Someone will gladly offer useful directions.

Visiting Jordan is something that an individual will not regret. This is one of those places that one should visit before he dies. There are many great places around the world. However, very few of them beat the splendor of Jordanian attractions. Some of the Jordanian tourist attractions are considered as UNESCO World Heritage sites. One can easily travel to Amman.
