Reasons To Travel To Jordan This Year

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.

The Petra ruins in this nation occupy a special place in the list of archaeological ruins. One will be amazed by the pure genius behind the construction of these ruins. It seems that even before the dawn of modern civilizations, there were great Jordanian architectural minds. These ruins are not less than three thousand years old yet they still look amazing and functional.

Another leading Jordanian attraction is the Dead Sea. This is found between the border of Israel and Jordan and is considered as the lowest point of planet earth. The banks of this salt lake are more than 300m below sea level. The mineral-rich black mud of this lake has cosmetic and therapeutic uses. There are many resorts around the Dead Sea.

Jordan is a place that is witnessed many great religious activities. It is considered as a place of interest by the three major faiths: Christianity, Judaism and Islam. It is where Jesus Christ was baptized. The baptism precisely happened at the Jordan River. John the Baptist started his mission of calling people to repent their sins, on this river.

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.

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.
