Basic Information
About country
Jordan, officially the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, is a country situated in the Southern Levant region of West Asia. Its history stretches back to the Paleolithic period, with kingdoms like Ammon, Moab, and Edom flourishing in Transjordan during the Iron Age. The Nabataeans established a significant kingdom centered in Petra in the 3rd century BC, leaving behind remarkable architectural achievements. Following periods under various empires, including Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman rule, Jordan emerged as the Emirate of Transjordan after the Great Arab Revolt during World War I. Today, Jordan's economy relies on services, tourism, and remittances, facing challenges related to water scarcity and regional instability.
