Jordan Let me take you on a journey from the heart of Jordan, a land that captivates the senses with its stunning landscapes and rich history. Nestled in the heart of the Middle East, Jordan is a treasure trove of natural wonders, from the otherworldly landscapes of Wadi Rum to the ancient marvels of Petra. As a Jordanian, I carry with me a deep appreciation for the timeless beauty and warm hospitality that define this remarkable country. Join me as I share a glimpse into my world and the enchanting beauty of Jordan that has always been a source of inspiration in my life. A journey through Jordan is a voyage through time, with every city and valley narrating tales of ancient civilizations. Amman, the capital, where I was born and raised, is a splendid blend of old and new. The city skyline showcases modern architecture alongside historical gems like the Amman Citadel and the Roman Theater. With its myriad of museums and galleries, Amman invites you to delve into the rich cultural heritage of Jordan. Amidst the bustling souks, the aroma of traditional street food like falafel and shawarma fills the air, while modern eateries offer a taste of international cuisine, reflecting the city’s cosmopolitan flair. A short drive from the capital will take you to the ancient city of Jerash, home to one of the most well-preserved Roman archaeological sites outside Italy. As you stroll through the colonnaded streets and explore the grand amphitheaters, the echoes of the Roman era resonate through the air. Further south lies the town of Wadi Musa, the gateway to the breathtaking city of Petra. Known as the Rose City due to the color of the stone from which it is carved, and rightfully one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Petra unveils a world of archaeological wonders dating back to the 4th century BC.
