Beyond the Jordan

Beyond the river of Jordan lies the Kingdom of the Hashemites, a country with a long and complex history. Jordan is home to some of the world’s most famous archaeological sites, including the ancient city of Petra and the Roman ruins of Jerash. It borders the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth, and is known for its diverse landscapes, from vast deserts to green highlands. Throughout its history, Jordan has been a crossroads of cultures, religions, and trade routes, and this diversity continues to shape its identity today.

At the same time, Jordan is a modern country facing the challenges of the present. In cities like Amman, traditional markets stand alongside modern shopping malls and tech startups. Refugees from neighboring countries have added to the social fabric, and the Hashemite leadership plays a central role in maintaining stability in a turbulent region. Whether you are exploring a historic site or chatting with locals in a café, you’ll find that Jordan is a place where the past and present come together in everyday life.
