About Jordan |
 |
 |
Hidden
behind an almost
impenetrable
barrier of
rugged
mountains, the
rock-carved city
of Petra is full
of mysterious
charm. The
approach through
the cool gloom
of the Siq, a
long narrow
gorge whose
steeply rising
sides all but
obliterate the
sun, provides a
dramatic
contrast with
the magic to
come. Suddenly
the gorge opens
into a natural
square dominated
by Petra's most
famous monument,
the Khasneh,
whose
intricately
carved facade
glows in the
dazzling sun.
More
facades beckon
the visitor on
until the
ancient city
gradually
unfolds, one
monument leading
to the next for
kilometer after
kilometer. The
sheer size of
the city and the
quality of
beautifully
carved facades
is staggering
and leads one to
reflect on the
creativity and
industry of the
Nabateans who
made Petra their
capital more
than 2,000 years
ago. From their
capital at Petra
the Nabateans
had established
an elaborate
network of
caravan routes
which brought
spices, incense,
myrrh, gold,
silver and
precious stones
from India and
Arabia, to be
traded onto the
west. |

A
close second to Petra on
the list of favourite
destinations in Jordan,
the ancient city of
Jerash boasts as
unbroken chain of human
occupation dating back
more than 6,500 years.
The
city's golden age came
under Roman rule and the
site is now generally
acknowledged to be one
of the best preserved
Roman provincial towns
in the world. Hidden for
centuries in sand before
being excavated and
restored over the past
70 years, Jerash reveals
a fine example of the
grand, formal provincial
Roman urbanism that is
found throughout the
Middle East, comprising
paved and colonnaded
streets, soaring hilltop
temples, handsome
theatres, spacious
public squares and
plazas, baths, fountains
and city walls pierced
by towers and gates. |

Take time off
from the sun and
fun and learn
about the
resort’s
history, which
dates back to
the fourth
millennium BC.
Tel al-Khalifeh,
inside the
Jordanian-Eilat
border, was
initially
identified with
the Eziongerber,
mentioned in the
Holy Scriptures,
where King
Solomon built a
fleet that
sailed to Ophir
(Somalia) and
returned with
420 talents of
gold. But recent
excavations
indicate that
the site was
found after the
8th Century BC
and served
commercial and
industrial
purposes: for
smelting copper
and as a halting
place for
caravans. During
the 1st Century
BC, the Nabteans,
who raised
livestock and
pirated
merchants’ ships
in the Red Sea,
inhabited Ayla.
During the same
time, merchants
from Ailana were
found in South
Arabia (Yemen)
buying
frankincense and
myrrh. From 106
AD, rulers and
civilizations
came and went,
starting from
the Romans, to
the Sultans and
Islamic rule.
Just prior to
Islam, the
Ghassanid
Phylarchs (a
tribe from
western Arabia)
controlled Ayla
on behalf of
Byzantium, its
bishop at Ayla
attended the
Council of
Nicaea in North
Carolina State
University,
located the
Nabatean-Roman
town of Ayla two
kilometers from
Tell Al-Khlifeh
, in the
circular area of
modern Aqaba. |
