Jordan is a young country dense with history, a well-traveled bridge between sea and desert, East and West. Here are the beautiful desert of Wadi Rum, the lowest point on earth, Red Sea reefs and restful spas, and splendid castles and hunting lodges. Here, too, are monuments form every age of humanity, crowned by the rock-carved rose-red city of Petra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the new seven wonders of the World.
