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.

The award winning Jordanian tourist attractions have never ceased to amaze. They have been awarded many prizes by UNESCO and other leading tourism organizations. Jordan is not a place that one goes for once and gets to see everything. The country has a diversity of attractions thus a person can still make a second trip and not yet fully explore everything.

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.

A country is just as good as its people. The Jordanian lot, are a great people who hate war and always strive for peace. Most importantly, they are very friendly. That is why tourists always feel at home in this nation. One will never get lost when in Amman or any other Jordanian city. Someone will gladly offer useful directions.
