Jordan is highlighting its diverse cultural and natural landscapes to promote its tourism sector. Efforts include marketing historical sites such as Petra, the Roman ruins of Jerash, and the capital city of Amman, which has over 7,000 years of continuous habitation. The desert region of Wadi Rum is also featured, noted for archaeological evidence dating back approximately 12,000 years.

Recent developments include the addition of the Aqaba Marine Reserve to the UNESCO World Heritage List, recognized for its climate-resilient marine ecosystem. To support international travel, flight services from North American cities like Toronto and Montreal are being expanded. Travelers are advised that the spring and autumn seasons offer the most moderate weather for exploring these archaeological and outdoor sites.
