The Arab nation of Jordan is laced with heritage and culture. Olden monuments, ruins and an ancient city are among the many things that define the Hashemite Kingdom

The culture in Jordan has been influenced by many different civilisations throughout history. The effects of these civilizations can mostly been seen in the country’s archaeology through the various sights. While some have been mentioned above, there are a host of others that speak of the country’s colourful past—Petra’s Mount Hor and Siq cannot be missed while the capital city, Amman, has the beautiful King Abdullah Mosque, Mount Nebo and the 8th century Ummayad Palace Complex, known for its grand dome. In the north, Jerash is a postcard of Greco-Roman ruins and Madaba is an ancient town with Byzantine churches, waiting to be discovered.
