Tourist Info
General Information
Jordan is a relatively small country
situated at the junction of the Levantine and Arabian areas of the
Middle East. The country is bordered on the north by Syria, to the
east by Iraq, and by Saudi Arabia on the east and south. To the west
is Israel and the occupied West Bank, while Jordan's only outlet to
the sea, the Gulf of Aqaba, is to the south. Jordan occupies an area
of approximately 96,188 square kilometers including the Dead Sea,
making it similar in size to Austria or Portugal. However, Jordan's
diverse terrain and landscape belie its actual size, demonstrating a
variety usually found only in large countries. Western Jordan has
essentially a Mediterranean climate with a hot, dry summer, a cool,
wet winter and two short transitional seasons. However, about 75% of
the country can be described as having a desert climate with less
than 200 mm of rain annually. Jordan can be divided into three main
geographic and climatic areas: the Jordan Valley, the Mountain
Heights Plateau, and the eastern desert, or Badia region. Time: GMT
+ 2.
