Of its total population of 5,000,000 some 40% live in the capital, Amman. Jordan is rich in history, its three most eminent periods were, the Middle Bronze Age, the Iron Age (1000BC) and the Hellenic Period. Its most prestigious of treasures is the mystical and legendary city of Petra, carved 2000 years ago from the Red Sandstone Mountains by the Nabateans, it is one of the official wonders of the ancient world. Petra is an essential part of all tours to Jordan. Jordan itself is divided into two main geographical zones. The largest is High Desert Plateau, barren and flat, this makes up a large proportion of the country. In complete contrast the dramatic and beautiful Syrian-African Rift runs north along the western border from Aqaba (the most southerly town, situated on Jordan's small stretch of Red Sea Coast). Desert Eco Tours take you through the sand dunes of Southern Jordan and Wadi Rum, Lawrence of Arabia's favorite desert region. Exploring the incredible Edom Mountains whose Red Granite peaks tower nearly 2000meters over the sandy valleys that surround their feet. Venturing into the sub-tropic canyons where warm springs flow year-round into the Dead Sea, rich in flora and fauna and found in the heart of the Moav Mountains. Experience the dramatic mountain routes whose breathtaking views span the steep valleys below. Desert Eco Tours tread new paths, to explore the unexplored.
