Jordanian flag & fort in Aqaba, Jordan

This Mamluke fort in Aqaba, was rebuilt in the fourteenth century. Nowadays there is an archeological museum adjacent to the fort.

While Jordan is a country for all seasons, it is most often visited during spring and fall, between the temperature extremes of winter and summer. The best weather is in April and October, while winter snows are not unknown in Jordan.

Amman, the capital, boasts a Roman amphitheater and a museum. The so-called Kings' Highway, a well-paved but winding road, makes for an interesting full-day drive between Amman and Petra, Jordan's primary tourist attraction. Heading south, Madaba is the first stop. A church there contains the oldest known map of Palestine, which is depicted in mosaic on the floor. Farther along, the Biblical site of Mt. Nebo features lovely examples of mosaics in its small museum. There is also a fabulous overlook of the Dead Sea, situated far below in the Wadi Araba. The final tourist site on the Kings' Highway is Kerak, where there is a well-preserved Crusader-era castle. Tourists then sleep at Petra and begin their sightseeing there the following morning.

Settled by the Nabataeans in about 500 B. C., rock-carved Petra was the capital of a mighty empire which at times stretched as far north as Damascus. It is thought that the Nabataeans extracted transit fees from passing trade caravans. Whatever the case, Petra grew rich as a trading metropolis, reaching its zenith around the time of Christ. In 106 A. D. Trajan incorporated the Nabataean kingdom into the Roman empire as the province of Arabia Petraea. Petra's decline began in the third century, and then it was forgotten from the Middle Ages until being rediscovered by the Swiss adventurer Burckhardt in 1812.

The height of the siq, a gorge several miles long which forms the entrance to Petra, is as much as 300 meters. Yet in some places it is only a few meters wide. Many tourists elect to ride horses or horse carriages through the siq while others walk. At the end of the siq, visitors suddenly come upon the remarkable pink sandstone facade of the so-called Treasury, probably dedicated to one of the Nabataean kings. The theatre and a great number of tombs carved from the pink rock are to be seen farther down the widening gorge. The trail continues into the former town center, which contains the remains of a triumphal arch, a palace, temples and various dwellings.

Had Petra never existed, the magnificent Roman-era ruins at Jerash, situated an hour north of Amman, would probably be more well-known than they are today. As it is, Jerash is Jordan's second most important tourist site. Founded in the fourth century B. C., Jerash's golden age began after the city was captured by Pompey in 63 B. C. Much construction was undertaken in the first and second centuries A. D. Jerash reached the height of its power during the third century A. D. after the fall of Palmyra, its rival to the north in present-day Syria. Later Jerash was sacked by the Persians in 614 A. D. and again by the Arabs in 635 A. D. The city boasted a 1900-meter-long main street, and many of the first- and second-century Ionic and Corinthian columns which formerly lined that street have been preserved. An amphitheater and a forum also existed in addition to temples dedicated to Zeus and Artemis.

A long weekend in Jordan is a wonderful escape for those who enjoy viewing antiquities. While pleasant, the beach hotels in Aqaba, Jordan's Red Sea port adjacent to Eilat, Israel, offer little to those who might have access to well-developed beach resorts in Sinai or elsewhere. On the other hand, one special highlight in Jordan is the Dead Sea where, in addition to enjoying traditional spa activities, tourists can experience the unique sensation of floating in the world's most buoyant water!

Five Statues form Ain Ghazal, Jordan - No Music

Smithsonian Museum Conservation Institute staff preserve 9000 year old statues unearthed during road construction in Jordan.

Extraordinarily rare plaster statues dating from around 6500 B.C. were discovered in 1985 at the Neolithic site of 'Ain Ghazal, Jordan, on the outskirts of the capitol city Amman. Because of the fragility of the lime plaster, the entire contents of the pit containing the statues were encased in aluminum foil, polyurethane foam, and a wooden crate and sent to the Smithsonian Institution for a seven-year process of laboratory excavation and conservation treatment. The group includes two standing figures measuring around 1 meter in height and three unusual two-headed busts. Filming was done on five occasions from 1990 to 1996 before exhibition of the statues at the Smithsonian's Arthur M. Sackler Gallery in 1996-1997 and their return to Jordan for display at the Jordanian Archaeological Museum on the Citadel in Amman.

As-Salt
As-Salt is a hillside town about 30 minutes from Amman that used to be the capital of Jordan. It's Ottoman yellow stone architecture with long arched windows and ironwork reflects its significance as an Ottoman trading post. The food market of Hammam Street is overlooked by an Ottoman mosque. Visit the Historic Old Salt Museum, in the Abu Jaber mansion (1892) with its Italian frescoed ceilings. There is an Archaeological Museum that have artifacts from the 4500–3300 B.C. to the 16th century.

There is evidence that As-Salt has been settled since the Iron Age. Potentially because of its position on trade routes, fertile soil, abundant water supply and moderate climate. The influence of the trading may have created the tolerant coexistence of a mixed Muslim-Christian population in the region. During the Byzantine period, the area was known as Saltos Hieraticon. There are also Roman tombs on the outskirts of the town. There is a large mosque on the site of an ancient citadel. This site had a turbulent history with the subsequent fortress built in the 13th century being raised by Mongols in 1260 and by Egyptians in 1840.

As-Salt location made it vital to trade routes during in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this picturesque town fell into decline when Amman was chosen as the capital of Jordan. There are many denominations of churches in As-Salt for the approximate 30% Christian population. They include a Greek Orthodox Church and Roman Catholic. Also, take the opportunity to view Salt city from the Al-Qala’a Lookout, it is worth the effort.

When you are in Jordan you will see the variety of architecture unique to each region. As-Salt has a small archaeological museum. Aim to visit As-Salt Zaman, a restored building in the heart of the town. As-Salt houses a Handicraft School so it charmingly furnished with antiques and handicrafts traditional skills of weaving, ceramics and silk screen printing.
