Wedged between Israel and Saudi Arabia, and with a slip of a coastline on the Red Sea, the Arab kingdom of Jordan is an affluent nation that has a wealth of natural resources and a rich history.

Nowhere is the past so vividly etched upon the landscape as it is at Petra, Jordan’s major tourist attraction.

The Rose City of Petra, so called for the colour of the sandstone from which it is carved, was once an important trade site and home to thousands. These days, more than half a million people make the dusty pilgrimage into the gorges of the mountains to see the breath-taking buildings that were shaped by hand into the rock. As you journey along the “Siq”, or mountain passage towards the ancient treasury, you are certain to hum the tune from “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” as the home of the fictional Holy Grail comes into view. It is aa unforgettable experience.

Also in the south of Jordan is Wadi Rum, or the Valley of the Moon. TE Lawrence passed through this arid valley many times and filmmakers used the site in the 1962 classic, ‘Lawrence of Arabia’.

Then there’s the Red Sea resort of Aqaba too, which is known for supreme diving and snorkelling opportunities, and the Jordanian shores of the Dead Sea, where visitors fling themselves into the cleansing mud and float effortlessly on the water.

Elsewhere in Jordan, holidays can be taken in one of the excellent hotels in Amman, the capital and largest city. This vast city is one of the world’s oldest and it dazzles with ancient monuments, landmark mosques and sprawling mansions. Luxury brands, such as Marriott, Le Meridien, Four Seasons and Grand Millennium, operate hotels here. Many of the best have swimming pools, into which can dive and cool off after a day’s sightseeing.
