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.

Jordanian cities are filled with awe and wonder. One will always be left in amazement of the raw beauty of this great country. Even with great determination, one cannot explore every Jordanian wonder in one trip. There will always be need for a return trip. The more than one gets to interact with this nation, the more that he falls in love with it.

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.

A trip to the Jordanian border with Israel is not complete without being soaked in the goodness of the Dead Sea. The sands of this sea have more than a dozen therapeutic and cosmetic benefits. This sea is of a different kind. First, it is far below sea level. Secondly, its water is salty and rich in various minerals.

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.

Of all the places in the Middle East, Amman and other Jordanian cities are some of the most visited places. That is because there are peaceful places where one will not find the usually Middle East issues like terrorism. The country has never experienced any major conflict despite the fact that it is ruled by a monarch. There is also a democratic parliament.

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 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.
