Following the military action in Iraq, there is a high risk of terrorism in Jordan and vigilance is necessary. The Jordanian security forces foiled several possible terrorist attacks in 2004. Extra care should be taken at the crossing points between Jordan and Israel. Potential travellers should check one of the following government websites for the latest risk assessment:

Jordan shares borders with Israel, Syria, Iraq and Saudi Arabia. The Dead Sea is to the northwest and the Red Sea to the southwest. A high plateau extends 324km (201 miles) from Syria to Ras en Naqab in the south. The east of the country is mainly desert. Amman, the capital since 1921, is very well equipped with tourist facilities. The central souk is lively and provides a taste of a more traditional city. The main attraction is the Roman amphitheatre in the centre which dates from the second century AD. Jerash is less than one hours drive from Amman through the picturesque hills of ancient Gilead. A magnificent Graeco-Roman city on an ancient site, Jerash is justly famous for the Triumphal Arch and the Hippodrome. Petra, a gigantic amphitheatre hidden in the rocks out of which a city with immense façades that have been carved, is one of the wonders of the Middle-Eastern world. The Dead Sea, 392m (1286ft) below sea level, and the lowest point on earth, glistens by day and night in an eerie, dry landscape. Local dishes include mensaf (stewed lamb in a yogurt sauce served on a bed of rice). There are nightclubs, theatres and cinemas in Amman, while some other major towns have cinemas and bars.

- Roman Theatre
Amman's Roman Theatre is the most impressive legacy of the Roman Philadelphia and was built under Antonius Pius (138-161AD). Cut into the rock of the hill, it once seated 6000 people for performances and is also thought to have had religious significance for the city dwellers. It is still used today for theatrical and musical productions. - Wadi Rum
Lawrence of Arabia developed a huge thirst for lemonade there and Bedouins make it their home. The magnificent lunar landscape of Wadi Rum is an eerie yet truly magical corner of the Arab world. - Jordan Folklore Museum
Amman's Folklore Museum, at one end of the Roman Theatre, recreates traditional Jordanian life. - Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts
Jordan's National Gallery of Fine Arts in Amman hosts a good collection of paintings, sculptures and ceramics by contemporary Jordanian and other Muslim artists. - Jordan Museum of Popular Tradition
The Jordan Museum of Popular Tradition, in Amman, displays the traditional costumes of Jordanian people, including some beautiful embroidery, antique jewellery and domestic utensils. It also houses a good collection of mosaics from Madaba and Jordan's less-famed Byzantine churches.
