Jordan ‘s official name is the
Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan . The
capital of Jordan is Amman . The
official language of Jordan is Arabic
but, English is comely used. Jordan is
located in the Middle East and in
Western Asia.


There are several major landforms in Jordan.
These are some of them the Dead Sea ,Jordan
Valley and the Jordan river . The Dead Sea is
the saltiest river in the World and it has the
lowest depression . There are several major
landmarks in Jordan including Petra, Jerash,
and Bethany Beyond the Jordan. Bethany
Beyond the Jordan is said to be where John the
Baptist baptized Jesus. It is a very important
place for Christians.

 From 2000-1550 BC seven kingdoms controlled the
area that is now Jordan.
A man named Pompey took over the region for Rome in 63 BC.
In 636 AD Khalid Ibnal-Walid brings the area that is now Jordan
under Muslim rule.
Then in 1550 AD, Ottoman-Turkish take over the region.
The British took over the area in 1923 and name it Trans Jordan.
In 1946 Jordan was granted full independence from Britain. Abdullah
the 1st was named the King.
The country’s name changed to Jordan in 1950.
From 1951-1999 Hussein was the King of Jordan.
The country was at war with Israel from 1967-1994.
Finally in 1999 Abdullah Binal Hussein becomes King and he still
rules today.

Holidays- Most Jordanians follow the Islamic
calendar. These are some of the major Holidays: Id
el-fiter (end of Ramadan), Id al-Adha (Islamic New
Year), Mohamed’ Birthday, and Lilat al Meiraj.
Some other holidays are Arbor day (Jan. 15th), Arab
League Day (March 22nd), and Independence Day
(May 25th)
Food- Most meals in Jordan have rice, olives,
yogurt, flat bread, vegetables, lamb or chicken, and
fruit. The main meal is eaten in the middle of the
afternoon. The national dish is Mansaf. It is
served on holidays and special family occasions.
It is lamb cooked in dry yogurt and served with
rice and flat bread.
Clothes- Many women are Muslim, so most women
dress modestly. Women cover their head and
shoulders. A popular male outfit is a tunic, which is
pants, a fancy over garment with a belt or sash. Men
cover their heads with a scarf, turban or tarbush.
 Music- Jordan has a very strong Bedouin influence.
Sameer Baghdadi and Omar Al-Aballat are popular singers.
Rum is the name of a successful musical group. The most
important group of musicians is the Faqir family. They
have existed for over a 100 years.

Religions- the main religion in Jordan is Islam. There is
about 92% of Muslims and about 6% of christian in
Jordan .





Population-The population in Jordan is about
7,327,643 . In the capital Amman the population is
about 1,275.The population of males is about
3,435,345 and population of females is about
3,246,188.
Flag- The Jordanian flag was adopted on
April16,1908 . The black on the flag represents
Abbasid Caliphate . The white on the flag
represents Umayyad Caliphate. The green
represents Fatimid Caliphate. The red triangle
represents the great Arab revolt against the
Ottomans in world war 1. The 7 pointed star
represents Qur’an.




Native Animals – These are some main dessert
small animals insects, lizards, and other small
mammals . Lager animals include foxes , jackals ,
spited hyenas ,wolfs , camels , rabbit and sand rat
. The white oryx and ibex are relatively rare.
Travel tips-There are many places to go in Jordan .
You can stroll though Petra’s siq (market) , you
can go to the ancient city Jerash and in Jerash and
see the Amphitheatre ( a really old theater), the
Dead Sea (the saltiest lake in the world) , the
Jordan River (a very important place to Christians
because it is said that Jesus was baptized in the
Jordan River) and Dana (a nature reserve).


I would like to go to Jordan, because there are
so many cool things to do. Some of the things
yare these: seeing ruins, hiking, going in the
Dead Sea, and seeing the Jordan river.
