Introduction
The welcoming Kingdom of Jordan is perhaps best defined by what its historical inhabitants have left behind; Roman ruins, Crusader castles and most notably, the ancient Nabataean city of Petra. Factor in the desert landscape of Wadi Rum and the unique curiosity of the Dead Sea, and Jordan has appeal to spare.
