Although Jordan an Arab Nation<\/strong> on the East Bank of the Jordan River<\/strong>, is defined by ancient monuments, nature reserves and seaside resorts. It\u2019s home to the famed Archaeological Site of Petra<\/strong>, the Nabatean capital dating around 300 B.C.E. Accordingly set in a narrow valley with tombs, temples and monuments<\/strong> carved into the surrounding pink sandstone cliffs, Petra earns its nickname, the <\/strong>“Rose City<\/strong>“. <\/p>\n History of Jordan<\/strong> refers to the history of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan<\/strong> and the background period of the Emirate of Transjordan<\/strong> under British protectorate as well as the general history of the region of Transjordan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The area was settled by Nomadic Tribes<\/strong> in the Bronze Age, which consolidated in small kingdoms during the Iron Age<\/strong> – such as the Edomites and Ammonites<\/strong>, with partial areas controlled by the Israelites<\/strong>. In the classic period, Transjordan came under Greek and later Roman influence.<\/em> One of the major populations were the Nabateans, while Jews settled the area of Jordan Valley<\/strong>, within the domain of Roman Judea<\/strong>. Under instead the Romans<\/strong> and the Byzantines<\/strong>, Transjordan was home to the Decapolis<\/strong> in the North, with much of the region being designated as Byzantine Arabia. Classical kingdoms located in the region of Transjordan<\/strong>, such as the Roman-era Nabatean kingdom<\/strong>, which had its capital in Petra, left particularly dramatic ruins popular today with tourists and filmmakers. <\/p>\n The history of Transjordan<\/strong> continued with the Muslim empires starting in the 7th century, partial crusader control in the Mid-Middle Ages and finally, Mamluk Sultanate since 13th century<\/strong> and the Ottoman Empire from the 16th century<\/strong> until World War I<\/strong>.<\/p>\n After all with the Great Arab Revolt in 1916<\/strong> and the consequent British invasion<\/strong>, the area came under Occupied Enemy Territory Administration in 1917 and with the British mandate of Transjordan<\/strong> in early 1920s, it became the Emirate of Transjordan<\/strong> under the Hashemite Emire<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In 1946, independent Hashemite Kingdom of Transjordan <\/strong>was formed and shortly admitted to the United Nations and the Arab League<\/em>. In 1948, Jordan fought with the newly born state of Israel<\/strong> over lands of former Mandatory Palestine, effectively gaining control of the West Bank and soon annexing it with its Palestinian population<\/strong>. <\/p>\n Jordan lost West Bank in the 1967 War with Israel<\/strong>, and since became the central base of the PLO in its struggle against Israel. The alliance between the PLO and the Jordanians<\/strong>, active during the War of Attrition<\/strong>, came to an end in the bloody Black September in Jordan in 1970<\/strong>, when a civil war between Jordanians and Palestinians<\/strong> took thousands of lives. In the aftermath, defeated PLO was forced out of Jordan together with tens of thousands of its fighters and their Palestinian families, relocating to South Lebanon. <\/p>\n The culture of Jordan<\/strong> is based on Arabic and Islamic elements<\/strong> with significant Western influence. The Jordanian Kingdom<\/strong> had always been the intersection of the three continents of the ancient world<\/strong> and always seemed to have a form of diversity at any given point due to its location. Notable aspects of the culture include the music of Jordan<\/strong> as well as an interest in sports, particularly football and basketball as well as other imported sports mainly from western Europe and the United States<\/strong>. <\/p>\n 1) Petra<\/strong> 1) Blue Fig<\/strong> Welcome to Jordan – Jordan Tour Guide Although Jordan an Arab Nation [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":173583,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1588,1772,1587],"tags":[2072,2073,2075,2076,2077,2078,2079],"class_list":["post-173580","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-destination-info-en-ca","category-middle-east-africa-en-ca","category-news-en-ca","tag-amman-en-ca","tag-culture-of-jordan-en-ca","tag-history-of-jordan-en-ca","tag-jordan-en-ca","tag-jordan-tourism-en-ca","tag-night-clubs-at-jordan-en-ca","tag-popular-destination-at-jordan-en-ca"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.travelsmantra.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173580","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.travelsmantra.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.travelsmantra.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.travelsmantra.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.travelsmantra.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=173580"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/staging.travelsmantra.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173580\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.travelsmantra.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/173583"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.travelsmantra.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=173580"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.travelsmantra.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=173580"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.travelsmantra.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=173580"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}History Of Jordan<\/h2>\n
