Reasons Why A Person Should Travel To Jordan

By Joyce Rogers


The Middle East is usually a constant feature in the news. At times, it is about the war and the suffering. However, this region also features for all the good reasons. Generally, this central most part of the world is where many great civilizations were based. It is where the great and mighty Babylonian empire was based. Babylon failed and it was succeeded with Persia which is present day Iran. One should travel to Jordan to see the most amazing historical sites. There are many natural and artificial wonders in this nation.

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.

Above all, Jordanians are people who are easy to interact with. They always love visitors and they usually look forward to guiding visitors on their visits of the country. One will surely like the welcoming nature and hospitality of the Jordanians. This country has many modern developments such as shopping centers. There are always pristine beaches where one can relax.

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.
