Jordan is one of the most popular tourists’ destinations in the Middle East. A tour to Jordan is not complete without visiting the Jordan Valley, beautiful Wadi Rum, impressive Ajloun fortress. If the tourists are tired to go sightseeing they can sit down and take tea with locals and even shop-owners. It is a common practice, so do not be afraid if the locals invite you to do it. Though traditional way of life is centered round the family, the locals are very friendly and open-hearted people. As for the nature Jordan has a great variety of wildlife. The biodiversity of this country is really incredible. That’s why there are several protected areas scattered all over the territory.
