Geography : Jordan is bounded to the north by Syria, to the northeast by Iraq, to the east and south by Saudi Arabia and to the west by Israel. It has three distinct geographic zones: the fertile Jordan Valley, which runs down the western side of the country; the East Bank plateau, where most of the main towns are; and the East Bank, a desert which stretches east into Syria, Iraq and Saudi Arabia.
Visas Overview:All foreigners need a visa to enter Jordan. You can get a single-entry visa at the airport or at most border crossings when you arrive, or from consulates in your country. Visas are valid for three months from the date you enter the country. |
