One of my favourite hobbies is tourism and travelling around the world . Many people like travelling around the world to get  a new experience, emotions, relaxation  and explore new cultures . I'm one of them ,so I will present  to you one of my favourite interesting places which is The Hashemite kingdom of Jordan; one of the Cradle Roman Empire. Jordan is characterized by a strategic location, distinct climate and long history making Jordan occupies an important tourist place in the world. For example:

 Petra

Petra "The Pink City"

Nebatean City of Petra

The most famous attraction in Jordan and maybe in the world is the Nabatean city of Petra, nestled away in the mountains south of the Dead Sea. Petra, which means "stone" in Greek, is perhaps the most spectacular ancient city remaining in the modern world, and certainly a must see for visitors to Jordan and the Middle East. After winding around for 1.5 kilometers, the Siq suddenly opens upon the most impressive of all Petra’s monuments -al-Khazneh(Arabic for "the Treasury"). One of the most elegant remains of antiquity, it is carved out of solid rock from the side of a mountain, and stands over 40 meters high. Although it served as a royal tomb, the Treasury gets its name from the legend that pirates hid their treasure there, in a giant stone urn which stands in the center of the second level. Believing the urn to be filled with ancient pharoanic treasures,

Dead Sea

Dead Sea

The Dead Sea is 75 kilometers long and from 6 to 16 kilometers wide. It is fed by the Jordan River, but it has no outlet. As its name suggests, the Dead Sea is entirely devoid of plant and animal life. This is due to an extremely high content of salt and other mineral which contains 350 grams of salt per kilogram of water, as compared to about 40 grams in the world’s oceans. This concentration is caused by a rapid rate of evaporation. These natural elements give the waters of the Dead Sea certain curative properties. Dead Sea is recognized since the days of Herod the Great over 2000 years ago, and referred to in the Bible.

Dead Sea Soil used for skin diseases

The Dead Sea is also famous geographically as "the lowest point on earth," lying some 400 meters below sea level. In addition to the historical significance of the "Salt Sea," the Dead Sea is today an important and rich source of minerals essential for agricultural and industrial development as well as for the treatment of various medical conditions such as psoriasis. Visitors to the Dead Sea come away with an unforgettable swimming experience, as the high density of the water makes sinking virtually impossible.
