ABSTRACT
Jordan is almost undiscovered by America and the West as a country of tourist attractions, but it is without parallel, an exciting adventure to visit it. It comprizes within its territory nearly all the Holy places of Christianity of the greatest interest. Jordan's climate is well suited to the Western tourist. Jordan has, since the beginning of time, served as a stage for the rise and fall of successive civilizations both indigenous and foreign, which have greatly influenced the course of human progress. Jordan is an Arab country. Arabs have been living in this area since long before the Christian era and the Arab conquest of Syria and Palestine in the seventh century established them as the dominant group. Travellers to Jordan need not fear that they will not find every kind of convenience in hotel accommodation, food, transport, and other matters, in the country. Jerusalem and its vicinity of course, constitute the main tourist centre of Jordan.
