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.

  • Grand Husseini Mosque
    Built in striking pink and white stone by the late King Abdullah, this mosque in downtown Amman was restored under the direction of the late King Hussein in 1987. The original mosque on this site was built in 640AD by Omar Ibn al-Khattab, the second Caliph of Islam.
  • Jordan Folklore Museum
    Amman's Folklore Museum, at one end of the Roman Theatre, recreates traditional Jordanian life.
  • Jordan Archaeological Museum
    Situated on Amman's Citadel Hill, this small museum has an excellent collection of Jordanian antiquities, dating from prehistoric times to the 15th century.
  • 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.
  • 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.
