Jordan



Famous the world over for the ethic of hospitality of the Bedouin, Jordan, a gem of the middle east, delights and surprises. Jordan offers the traveler a piece of living history, to walk through and experience.

While the evidence of Jordan's colorful history tantalizes the traveler, Jordan is closer to you than you'd think, if only from the images of it you've seen in films.

Come with us to explore this country's treasures. We'll visit the Siq, the narrow, winding fissure between sandstone cliffs to the Treasury (that amazing building made so famous in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade) and the lost city of Petra, carved into the rose red Shara mountains by the Nabateans.

BAPTISM SITE IN JORDAN:
For Christians, the most significant event associated with the River Jordan is undoubtedly the baptism of Jesus Christ by John the Baptist. Interestingly enough, this also took place very close to Beit 'Abara, where Joshua, Elijah and Elisha crossed the river. In New Testament times, it became known as Bethany, the village of John the Baptist. This Bethany is not to be confused with the village of Bethany near Jerusalem, where the Bible says Lazarus was raised from the dead.

The Bible clearly records that Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist (Matthew 3: 13-17), and that John the Baptist lived, preached and baptized in the village of Bethany, on "the other side of the Jordan" (John 1: 28). The baptism site, known in Arabic as al-Maghtas, is located at the head of a lush valley just east of the Jordan River. It is now protected and by early 1999 it will be accessible to visitors. After Jesus' baptism at Bethany, he spent forty days in the wilderness east of the River Jordan, where he fasted and resisted the temptations of Satan (Mark 1: 13, Matthew 4: 1-11).

LOT'S CAVE:
The Bible then says that "Lot lived among the cities of the plain and pitched his tents near Sodom" (Genesis 13: 12). The Southern Ghor may thus be associated with one of the most dramatic stories in the Bible, that of Sodom and Gomorrah. While conclusive proof has not yet been found, some scholars see Bab al-Dhra' and Numeira as good candidates for the biblical Sodom and Gomorrah, destroyed by God because of their wickedness (Genesis 19). The other biblical "cities of the plain-"Admah, Zeboiim and Bela (or Zoar)-may still be waiting to be rediscovered under the ruins of Early Bronze Age towns as Feifa, Safi, Khneizirah, and other places throughout the biblical Valley of Salt.

QUEEN RANIA OF JORDAN STEPS UP ON YOUTUBE TO BREAK DOWN STEREOTYPES

Queen Rania has launched an official YouTube page, with an exclusive message on the importance of cross-cultural dialogue in breaking down stereotypes.

Petra News Agency - Using one of the most cyber-savvy platforms for dialogue, Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah launched her presence on YouTube with an urgent message to the world’s young people, Monday, asking them to join in a global dialogue to recognize our commonalities.

“In a world where it’s so easy to connect to one another, we still remain very much disconnected. There’s a whole world of wonder out there that we cannot appreciate with stereotypes,” said the Queen.

The Queen urged viewers to respond with their opinions of the Middle East and to acknowledge stereotypes they’ve heard of Arabs and Muslims. The Queen said she would work towards breaking down these preconceptions over the next few months.

“I want people to know the real Arab world – to see it unedited, unscripted and unfiltered – to see the personal side of my region – to know the places and faces and rituals and culture that shape the part of the world I call home,” she said.

The conversation will continue until International Youth Day, on August 12. Until then, Queen Rania hopes that YouTube users all over the world will actively work together to identify misconceptions and seek out the true images of the Middle East.
