Places in Jordan
Jordan The Land of Wonders
Petra
One of the world’s seven wonders with giant red mountains and vast mausoleums of a departed race, has
nothing in common with modern civilization. Petra (the rose-red city),is Jordan’s most valuable treasure and
greatest tourist attraction. Petra is a enormous, unique city, carved into the sheer dusky pink rock face by the
Nabataeans, an industrious Arab people who settled here more than 2000 years ago. Entrance to the city is
through the Siq, a narrow gorge over 1km in length, which at the end of, a glimpse of Al-Khazneh (Treasury) is
caught.
Jordan The Land of Wonders
The Dead Sea
The lowest point on Earth (over 400m /1,312 ft. below sea level), and without a doubt one of the world’s most
fascinating areas. the Jordan Rift Valley is a dramatic, beautiful landscape, and the water at the Dead Sea is
characterized by a dense, rich, cocktail of salts and minerals that supply industry, agriculture and medicine with
some of its finest products. The Dead Sea has evolved into a major hub of both religious and health & wellness
tourism in the region, and offers good roads, excellent hotels with spa and fitness facilities, as well as
archaeological and spiritual discoveries make this region as enticing to today’s international visitors.
