1 Jordan interesting facts fun facts you didn t know about! Jordan interesting facts fun facts you didn t know about! Jordan is an Arab nation that is located in the Middle East on the east bank of the Jordan River. The country is defined by nature reserves, ancient and iconic monuments, and seaside types of resorts. The country, which is home to the famous archaeological site of Petra, is denoted by a young population. The median age of the populace is about 22 years old. In this post we have gathered Jordan interesting facts hope they will inspire you to visit this beautiful country! Some Basic Details The country s capital is Amman and the kingdom is ruled by Abdullah II of Jordan. The official language is Arabic. However, upper-income Jordanians speak English as well. When visiting the country, you will find that its Bedouin culture greets you wherever you go in the form of hello and welcome, translated as Ahlan wa Sahlan in Arabic. When visiting the country, it is best not to establish a set itinerary as you might have to skip a spontaneous invitation to relax and sip tea with the locals.

2 A Cinematic Landscape When you are checking interesting facts about Jordan, much of the information takes you back in time, especially cinematically. That is because the kingdom has graced the silver screen in classic movies. For example, Petra s Al-Khazneh monument was used as the home of the Holy Grail in the movie Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Also, the elevated cliffs and soft pink sands of Wadi Rum were featured in the movie Lawrence of Arabia. While the approximately 89,500 square kilometers of Jordan may be considered relatively small, the vistas in the country are terrains from which classic movies are made.

3 Ancient Ruins Are Featured Everywhere Because of Jordan s open spaces, people who travel through the country do not feel the crush of traffic. Therefore, you will not hear the constant cacophony of beeping horns as do you in other places. That makes it possible for visitors to enjoy and explore the countryside, an area that is marked by ruins everywhere. So, if you are in the mood to view megalithic monuments, you can see plenty of them in Jordan. For example, Jerash is a Greco-Roman town that has been well preserved. By exploring this site, you can come up with a few fun facts about Jordan on your own. Indeed, a number of ancient cultures have left their handprints over the Jordanian landscape. The country has experienced Greek, Roman, Byzantine, and Arab influences over thousands of years.

4 A Surreal Experience In fact, ancient archaeological sites can be seen in the middle of the country s capital as well. For instance, the Temple of Hercules, which is an ancient Roman religious site, lies at the top of a hill in Amman (Jabal al-qal a). The site seems surreal, especially at sunset when church bells issue a call to prayer and sound out from the minarets below. Naturally, you cannot mention Jordan without referring to Petra too. Also known as the Rose City, Petra is home to such landmarks as the aforementioned AlKhazneh and Ed-Deir monuments. These same structures are also liberally splashed across the various tourism posters of Jordan and the Middle East. However, if you want to obtain a different slant on the Nabataean ancient capital, take the main trail at the site and hike one of the Bedouin back roads. That way you can contemplate some of the following Jordan interesting facts and statistics while enjoying the beautiful scenery.

5 Jordan interesting facts #1 The Official Name of Jordan Is Not Jordan One of the fun facts about Jordan has to do with its official name. Jordan s formal name is the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. So you might say that Jordan is a shortened version of the official moniker. However, the country was known as Transjordan in 1922 after the World War I division of the Middle East made by France and Britain. The country was formally designated by the UN as an independent and sovereign kingdom 24 years later in 1946.

6 Jordan interesting facts #2 Jordan Is Not Oil-Rich as Other Arab States Unlike the other states in the Arab world, Jordan does not source its own oil.

7 Jordan interesting facts #3 Jordan Is Home to a Number of Biblical Sites You can find a number of Biblical sites including the Jordan River where Jesus was baptized and Mount Nebo where Moses died. The sinful sites of Sodom and Gomorrah are also located in the country. There are many Jordan tour packages that are worth checking out. We were traveling with Abraham Tours and they were awesome!

8 Jordan interesting facts #4 The Dead Sea Keeps Bathers Afloat The shore of the Dead Sea in Jordan is considered the lowest point on the Earth in terms of dry land. It lies 420 meters or 1,378 feet beneath sea level. The waters of the sea, which is rich in salt, keep bathers easily buoyant. The sea is almost 10 times saltier than the ocean. Dead Sea lies in 3 countries: Jordan, Israel and Palestine.

9 Jordan interesting facts #5 You Can Refuse a Meal up to Three Times before You Accept Etiquette in Jordan allows anyone offered a meal to refuse three times before finally accepting the invitation.

10 Jordan interesting facts #6 The Capital of Amman Was Once Named Philadelphia In ancient times, Amman, the capital, was called Philadelphia. The name commemorated Ptolemy Philadelphus ( BC), who rebuilt the city before Amman was taken over by Herod around 30 BC and fell under Roman influence.

11 Jordan interesting facts #7 Jordanians Do Not Praise Children to Excess Jordanians will not praise their children to excess as they believe the practice invites bad luck and therefore is generally avoided.

12 Jordan interesting facts #8 The Capital of Amman Has No East Side or West Side The Jordanian capital of Amman is unusual with respect to its construction. That is because the city was originally built across seven hills known as jabals. Through growth over time, the city now covers 19 jabals. As a result, the city has no east side or west side. Instead, directions are given based on jabals.

13 Jordan interesting facts #9 Petra Was Not Known Until Recently One of the New Seven Wonders of the World, the ancient archaeological site of Petra was carved into rock about two millennia ago. It was not known until recently in the 1800s. You enter the city through a narrow gorge that is 1.25 km or less than a mile in width.

14 Jordan interesting facts #10 10: Jordan Used to Be a Part of the Fertile Crescent In ancient times, the country was part of the Fertile Crescent, which is a crescentformed area that was comprised of fertile land in an otherwise arid area.
