The natural beauty of the
mountains and valleys lends a dreamlike aura that surrounds the

region immortalized by Lawrence of Arabia.

Overview:
Once an important trading centre
of the Roman Empire, and straddling the ancient Holy Land of the
world's three great monotheistic religions,
Jordan is a tiny
desert kingdom wrapped in history.
Stand on Mt Nebo and survey the land promised to Moses; unwrap a
scarf or two at Mukawir, where Salome cast a spell over men in
perpetuity; float in the Dead Sea, beside a pillar of salt,
reputed to be Lot's disobedient wife; go just about anywhere in
Jordan and you'll find every stone bares a tale, and those of
Madaba's legendary mosaics tell more tales than most.
Petra, the jewel in the crown of Jordan's antiquities, is one of
the New Seven Wonders of the World. The magnificent rock-hewn
city of the Nabateans has been a favourite destination for
Europeans since the 19th century, and at sunset on a winter's
day, when the rose-pink city catches alight, it is easy to see
why this enchanting place has charmed generations of visitors.
