Jordan

1) Powerful neighbors of whom they have to be wary. Jordan is just as concerned with the goings-on in Egypt, Syria and Iran as Israel is.

2) A desire for quiet. Jordan made a peace treaty with Israel and had occasionally held clandestine high-level meetings with her even before that.

3) A shared border.

4) A perennial concern with water resources. Jordan, and much of Israel, is semi-arid to arid.

5) Numerous ancient ruins which draw huge numbers of tourists.

6) Difficult history with the Palestinian Arabs.

7) Arabic as an official language.

8) A secular government.

9) Strong relations with the United States and other Western countries.

Yes.

However, it should be noted that while Jordan occupied the West Bank from 1949-1967, it had no legitimate rights to that land. Less than five nations recognized the validity of the Jordanian occupation. Therefore the "its" in the question is inaccurate. Jordan lost "the" West Bank, but not "its" West Bank.

Syria and Lebanon are both countries, that are north of Jordan and south of Turkey. Syria is the only one that has a border as well with Jordan and Turkey.

Syria is about 300 miles (500 kilometers) from north to south. It is about 400 miles (600-620 kilometers) from east to west.

The flight time from Jordan to Japan is approximately 11 hours and 9 minutes.
The total distance is about 9042.21 km or 5618 miles.


The flight time is approximate. Factors such as weather conditions could alter the length of the flight.

The River of Jordan is connected to the Dead Sea. Both of these are very major water sources for this area.

There are numerous cities in the West Bank, but none of them are exactly on the Jordan River. This is because the land is far too inclined to build any major cities.

The closest major city to the river is Jericho.

The most famous city in the West Bank is Jerusalem.

Amman is the capital of Jordan.

Beirut is in Lebanon, Damascus is in Syria, and Ankara is in Turkey. All of them are capital cities of those countries respectively.

The Jordan River. There is a small part of the Jordan River north of the West Bank that was part of the Israeli-Jordanian border. This has been greatly expanded since the Six-Day War of 1967, when Israel occupied the West Bank territory and acquired a much longer stretch of the Jordan River. Prior to that war the West Bank was part of Jordan & Jerusalem was a divided city.

The Jordan River forms a large part of that international boundary (between Israel-West Bank and Jordan.

South of the Dead Sea, the Israeli-Jordanian border follows the Wadi Arabah valley.

Israel and Jordan signed a peace treaty in 1994. However, there are rumors according to which King Hussein, the father of the current King Abdullah, had close relationships with several Israeli politicians. According to the rumors, during the 30 years prior to 1994, King Hussein even met Israeli officials in person several times.

The driving distance is 128 km.

The distance from Aqaba to Petra is about 127 kilometers. These two locations in Jordan are destination sites for many tourists. The ancient city of Petra may date back to approximately 312 B.C.E.

As-salam al-malaki al-urdoni ("Long Live the King") is the national anthem of Jordan.

Jordan follows the religion of Islam. That is how it is for about 90% of the people that live there. Such as Christianity.

No one currently lives at the former city of Petra. The ruins are now a historical site.

It's rock-cut architecture and water conduct system is co grate . Another name for Petra is the Rose City due to the color of the stone out of which it is carved.The city of Petra seems to be the beginning and the end of a magical journey in Jordan for many visitors.In fact, the Nabataean city of Petra is so spectacular that it is not only famous in Jordan but also the entire Middle East.Petra lies on the slope of Mount Hor and close to the town of Wadi Musa .One of the first things that can be seen around the entrance to Petra are three huge blocks, standing 6 to 8 meters high.

It was the capital of the Nabataeans.

Petra means rock in English. It is a word of Greek origin.

Jordan fought in the Six-Day War at Egypt's urging. President Nasser claimed that he was routing the Israelis and wished for Jordan's help in the conquest. Of course, we know now that Nasser was losing badly and was hoping for a "Hail Mary" from the Jordanian side, which did not come.

The Jordanians entered the war, but were swiftly defeated and the West Bank transferred to Israeli occupation.

nabateen arabs created petra in 1200 bc

I am pretty sure the name Petra is from Greek origin, but it is also very popular in Russia and Germany. The meaning of the name Petra is stone, and Peter is the masculine form of Petra. It is also popular in latin American countries.
