Jordan

Jordan, with its capital in Amman and a population of 11 million, is known for the ancient city of Petra, the Dead Sea, and Wadi Rum desert. Petra, Jordan's iconic rock-carved ancient city, was named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World and remained unknown to the Western world until 1812.
