Jordan, a country right in the middle of a rather unstable part of the world, commonly referred to as the Middle East. Having neighbors like Syria, Irak, Saudi Arabia and Israel / the Palestinian Territories doesn't really make it easy to allure potential visitors to come to your hood. Whenever one of Jordan's neighbors is the main topic in western news, it isn't exactly to point out its ambition as an upcoming tourist destination (maybe Israel is an exception).

But how often do you actually hear the name Jordan in those news? Not too often right? That problem is, that people are consuming the news , having a look at a map and then deciding that Jordan isn't safe to travel to. But that's like excluding Poland from a Euro-Trip cause it shares a border with the Ukraine. Or not going to Canada cause their neighbor is currently involved in several conflicts worldwide.

What I wanna say is, that living in a shady neighborhood doesn't make you a criminal. And after spending an awesome two weeks in this country over Christmas and New Years of 2017 / 18 I can't recommend enough to add Jordan to your bucket list for 2018. It is an amazing country and hopefully the next ten photos will prove my point and inspire you to see Jordan with your own eyes.
