Tourism is a very important sector of the Jordanian economy, contributing between 10 percent and 12 percent to the country's Gross National Product in 2006. In addition to the country's political stability, the geography offered makes Jordan an attractive tourism destination. Jordan's major tourist activities include numerous ancient places, its unique desert castles and unspoiled natural locations to its cultural and religious sites.
Red Sea Aqaba
Famous for its preserved coral reefs and huge variety of tropical fish, this Red Sea port city was in ancient times the main port for shipments from the Red Sea to the Far East. Its clean sandy beaches and transparent waters make it an ideal location for both relaxation and water sports
Red Sea Wadi Musa
Wadi Musa
is a small town built on the side of the mountain that descends into the Valley where the entrance to the lost city of Petra lies. The town itself is pretty quite as most people are either exploring Petra or recovering in their hotels from the day of hiking. Shepherds herding their goats or sheep up and down the steep mountain roads are still a common sight here.
