Jordan

The modern Kingdom of Jordan has an ancient culture stretching back thousands of years. Through the centuries Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Crusaders and Ottoman Turks have all left their mark. Jordan has a surprising array of landscapes, ranging from the red deserts of the south to the eastern volcanic plains, olive strewn hills in the north and the Dead Sea in the west. Herds of gazelle and oryx can be seen in the national parks and the migrating birdlife can be exceptional.
