Jordan shares borders with Israel, Syria, Iraq and Saudi Arabia. The Dead Sea
is to the northwest and the Red Sea to the southwest. A high plateau extends 324km
(201 miles) from Syria to Ras en Naqab in the south. The east of the country is
mainly desert. Amman, the capital since 1921, is very well equipped with tourist
facilities. Petra, the ancient city of the Nabateans, may be overrun with snap-happy
day-trippers, but that doesn't change the fact that it's one of the world's most
atmospheric ruins. For a slightly more contemplative experience, the startling
desert scenery of Wadi Rum enraptured Lawrence of Arabia and has caused more than
one traveller to don a kaffiyeh and gaze defiantly into the middle distance. The capital city, Amman is quite a nice place to spend some time and of course some money. The city center has an old roman theater and there it is an ideal place for making short trips to sights nearby.
