Jordan is one of the most developed and tourist-friendly countries of the Middle East. Ancient Nabatean cities, medieval Crusader castles, Saracen citadels and Mamluk fortresses can be found here, along with Byzantine churches and Ottoman mosques.
Jordan is also full of natural wonders, such as Wadi Rum, a unique desert with its red sand dunes, and Dead Sea Depression, the biggest depression in the world, 430 meters below sea level. Also, multiple canyons and cliffs make Jordan an excellent destination for climbers.
The Gulf of Aqaba, located at the northern end of the Red Sea, includes over 20 dive sites accessible to both beginners and advanced divers, therefore offering excellent diving opportunities for divers of every skill levels. The diving spots are very diverse in terms of depth and, especially, underwater attractions, ranging from untouched coral reef through wrecks of planes, tanks and other military vehicles to stone labyrinths.
