This map of Jordan shows the main cities and surrounding countries. For more information on destinations in Jordan such as Amman and Petra, use the links to the left.
Jordan contains Petra — a city carved into rose-red cliffs by the Nabataeans over two thousand years ago — and the country still manages to be undersold. Add the lowest point on earth, the clearest water in the Red Sea, and the Wadi Rum desert that sent Lawrence of Arabia into poetry.
