Jordan

Jordan, officially known as the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, is a country located in the West Asia region, bordering Syria, Iraq, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the Red Sea. The capital of the country is Amman, and the largest city is Aqaba. Jordan is a dry country surrounded by hills and mountains in the Levant region. In addition, Jordan has many famous attractions such as the ancient city of Petra, the Dead Sea, the Jordan River Valley mentioned in the Old Testament, and the tourist destination of Oman. These attractions make Jordan a popular tourist destination. Jordan is a traditionally monarchic country, and King Abdullah II is the monarch. The official language of the country is Arabic, and the majority of the population practices Islam. Jordan's economy is mainly based on tourism, chemical industry, agriculture, and mineral extraction, and the country is also a commercial center in the Middle East. In terms of politics, Jordan has always been one of the relatively stable countries in the Middle East, and it has a place in Middle Eastern and international affairs. As a country that follows Islamic law, Jordan has a deep understanding and appreciation of Islamic culture and traditions, and also supports and promotes the harmonious development of Islam. My itinerary started from Dubai to Amman, Jordan. The next day, I went to Jerash, which can be reached by charter or by taking a minibus from the North Station. Jerash has preserved a large number of ancient Roman ruins, and the rise and fall of ancient Rome can be seen in the ruins. After returning from Jerash, I visited the ancient Roman theater and Citadel Hill in Amman. The next day, I went to Petra and chatted with a Dutch guy on the way. Petra is a very large ancient city, and it can be tiring to walk around, but overall it was manageable. Continuing down from Petra, I arrived at Wadi Rum, which is famous for its red desert and is the most Mars-like place on this planet. I stayed in the desert for one night and saw the starry sky that I hadn't seen in a long time. The local Bedouin people were very hospitable, and there were people from all over the world in the tents. Continuing down from Petra, you will arrive at Aqaba, the only port city in Jordan, a small town different from other cities in Amman. Finally, I went to the Dead Sea to experience floating. If you have wounds on your body, you will float especially easily.
