Jordan, officially known as the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (المملكة الأردنية الهاشمية‎), is located in Western Asia, bordered by Syria to the north, Iraq to the northeast, Saudi Arabia to the south, and Palestine and Israel to the west.

The country lies just east of the Jordan River and the Dead Sea, with a small coastline along the Red Sea to the south.

Jordan is renowned for its abundant archaeological sites, making it a prime tourist destination. One of its most famous attractions is Petra, an ancient city carved into pink sandstone cliffs, recognized globally for its historical significance.

Additionally, as part of the Holy Land, Jordan features key Christian pilgrimage sites such as Mount Nebo, associated with Moses, and Al-Maghtas on the Jordan River, believed to be where Jesus was baptized. The country also boasts significant Islamic landmarks, including shrines dedicated to the companions of the Prophet Muhammad.

In the capital city of Amman, visitors can explore the Amman Citadel, an ancient site dating back to the Bronze Age. Highlights include the remnants of the Temple of Hercules and the Jordan Archaeological Museum.
