Jordan is located in the
Middle East, between Israel and Saudi Arabia. Although it is mostly
covered by desert, Jordan also has mountains, forests, marshes, beaches,
plains, rolling hills and fertile river valleys. The Jordan Valley is
actually an extension of the Great Rift Valley, which runs through Kenya
and Tanzania in Africa.

Desert
adventurer T.E. Lawrence’s wartime trek across Jordan, from Wadi Run
to Aqaba, was one of the most arduous journeys of modern times. An
awestruck Lawrence of Arabia described Jordan’s dramatic desertscapes
as “vast, echoing and God-like.” |
