Ultimate Jordan
The beauty of the country is that it is a compact microcosm of Middle Eastern history. The Nabateans of Petra, biblical characters, Classical city builders and Crusader armies have all played out their roles across a dramatic landscape of red sandstone canyons, desert expanses and salt-laden waters.
Each has left their mark in churches bursting with mosaics, colonnaded streets and impregnable fortresses.

The giant red mountains and vast mausoleums
of a departed race have nothing in common with modern civilization,
and ask nothing of it except to be appreciated at their true
value - as one of the greatest wonders ever wrought by Nature
and Man. Although much has been written about Petra, nothing
really prepares you for this amazing place. It has to be
seen to be believed. Petra the world wonder, is without doubt
Jordan’s most valuable treasure and greatest tourist
attraction. It is a vast, unique city, carved into the sheer
rock face by the Nabataeans, an industrious Arab people who
settled here more than 2000 years ago, turning it into an
important junction for the silk, spice and other trade routes
that linked China, India and southern Arabia with Egypt,
Syria, Greece and Rome. |

Jordan has a typically Middle Eastern climate in which summers
are very hot, with temperatures reaching up into the forties celsius.
If you are not adversely affected by heat it is still worth considering
a trip at this time as you will have sights like Petra almost
to yourself.
Spring and autumn are the best times to travel as the days are
warm, with temperatures into the high twenties celsius with cool
nights.
Winters can be surprisingly harsh: Petra has sometimes experienced
snow, and the nights get cold especially in the desert regions.
Winter is also when the majority of the rain falls, but showers
tend to be short and sharp.
