Jordan, an Arab nation on the east bank of the Jordan River, is defined by ancient monuments,
nature reserves and seaside resorts. It’s home to the famed archaeological site of Petra, the
Nabatean capital dating to around 300 B.C. Set in a narrow valley with tombs, temples and
monuments carved into the surrounding pink sandstone cliffs, Petra earns its nickname, the
"Rose City."
A safe haven in a region of conflict, Jordan has delighted visitors for centuries with its World
