Once part of the Ottoman Empire and then known as Transjordan, Jordan is a young nation that gained its independence in 1946. The country is home to amazing landscapes and historical sites dating back to ancient times, yet its short history has been plagued by economic instability and regional hostilities. From the awe-inspiring ruins of Petra and Jerash to the bustling seaport of Aqaba, from the modernizing monarchy to magnificent mosaics, and from the breathtaking Al Azraq Oasis to the saline Dead Sea, this volume showcases a hospitable people who are proud of their heritage.
Provides an overview of the geography, history, government, language, art, and food of Jordan, exploring its customs and current issues.
