Jordan

Jordan is officially called the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and is situated in Western Asia at the crossroads of Asia, Africa and Europe. It is home to more than 100,000 archaeological, religious and tourist sights including Petra, Dead Sea, Wadi Rum to name a few. Jordan is rich in history and culture, it is a great holiday destination to enjoy your time and educate yourself on Middle Eastern heritage.

THREE things we did not know about Jordan:

  1. Petra is one of the Seven Wonders of the World. First settled more than 10,000 years ago, it was established as the capital of the formerly nomadic Nabataean Arabs around the 4th century BC. It’s so famous that it’s been a filming location for loads of movies, including Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. 
  2. Jesus was baptised by John the Baptist at Al-Maghtas.
  3. The current monarch is King Abdullah II… The same royal family has been in power ever since 1921.
