Tourism in Jordan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan offers an array of options for the adventurous traveler. Located in a politically hot neighborhood, Jordan borders present day countries Saudi Arabia, Syria, Israel, West Bank, Iraq, and Egypt via the Red Sea.

Tourism accounts for a large part of Jordan's economy. Jordanian hospitality is well noted by its rash of western tourists.

The most frequented location in Jordan is the ancient Nabataeans city of Petra. Petra, once a major player along the trade routes, is considered one of the modern wonders of the world.
