Jordan - Arab State in the Middle East. The more accurate name is the Jordanian Khistrist Kingdom. Almost 90% of the territory occupies deserts and semi-deserts, but, nevertheless, in this country there are such a number of historical places that no other country can compare with it. It borders with Israel and the border passes along the Jordan River.

The Jordan River is the most important Christian shrine, the pilgrims from around the world come to visit it to visit the place where John the Baptist baptized Jesus. Scientists disagree in opinion, where this sacrament actually happened. Someone claims that this is a place in Israel, someone in Jordan. Nevertheless, having visited Jordan, it is worth going to Beit Hani to the Baptism of Jesus from Nazareth. From a long time, there is a belief that Jordan's waters heal the most terrible diseases, so the traveler simply needs to be plunged into a sacred river.

All the heritage of the ancient state remains only three museums of the capital. In Amman, you can visit Archaeological Museum, Folk Museum and National Art. But museums are not the most interesting thing in Jordan.

One of the seven "wonders of the world" - ancient petra cityIs not far from Eilat. Peter was built back in the VII century BC, and open - only in the XIX century. All the structures of the ancient city are carved up to this day, which consist of red sandstone.

Peter consists of the upper and lower city, through the streets of which you can walk and try to understand how ancient people lived. The upper rocky city is all decorated with frescoes, sculptures and decorative carvings. And the lower is more modest, but there is a real amphitheater for several thousand seats.

The third place on attendance by tourists in Jordan is occupied desert Wadi Rum. Her unusual mixed landscapes attract both fans of riding on camels, and climbers who can climb the highest mountain of hell, and ordinary travelers who can admire the amazing views from the Burda stone bridge. The natural bridge is an ordinary rock, but stretching at an altitude of 35 meters above the canyon.

The Dead Sea in Jordan is the same miracle as architectural and natural sights. Water incredibly saturated with salts is able to treat many skin diseases. Be sure to visit the local resort and swim in the sea, if you do not even know how to swim.

Lovers of snorkeling in Jordan can also have a great time. Having visited the attractions of the country, it is possible to dive in the bay of Aqaba. The most beautiful are the reefs "Rainbow" and "Japanese gardens."
And before leaving the country where you will find a lot interesting places, visit the market in Aqaba, where you can buy real colorful oriental products. The only minus of this market is not traded here as in other Arab countries. But prices for goods are not very high, so you will have only pleasant impressions of Jordan.
