Despite its proximity to conflicting countries, it is safe and remarkably modern, with a biblical history. Jordan is dotted with beautiful sights like Jerash, Kerak Castle, and the Amman Citadel, and their ruins provide glimpses into the country's fascinating history. Jordan, one of the world's driest countries, is home to sweeping deserts and otherworldly landscapes such as Wadi Rum. A trip to Jordan is an unforgettable sensory journey, from exploring the world-famous Nabatean city of Petra in the southwest to swimming in the Dead Sea - the world's lowest point - and eating spicy zarb (Bedoin barbeque).
