About Jordan

Jordan presentation
Jordan is a small and charming country in the Middle East, bordering Syria and Iraq,
Saudi Arabia and Israel. The name of this Muslim country has deep biblical roots, from the
name of the Jordan River where Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist. It is a land endowed
with hundreds of years of world history, where Alexander the Great founded the city of
Jerash and where Petra was built, one of the 7 wonders of the world.
The ancient fortress of Petra was carved into a canyon by the Namibian people,
being a veritable fortress of unconquerability. Temples dug directly into the rock are a world-
famous treasure, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985.
Amman is the capital of Jordan, built on 7 hills, like Ancient Rome, now stretches
over more than 20 hills, being a historic city, covered in white stone houses, preserving
various vestiges of the city's millennial history, but also modern, flanked by skyscrapers in
the new area.
The Wadi Rum Desert, also known as the Valley of the Moon, is the most famous
desert area in the world due to the red sand between which there are rocks, in a spectacular
landscape.
The Dead Sea is the deepest place on Earth, located 424 meters below the level of
the planet's ocean. The salinity in this area is 34%, so you simply float in the water, whatever
you do. The mud and mineral waters of the Dead Sea are known for their therapeutic and
cosmetic properties, so the spa and wellness centers in the area are among the most
established in the world.
Aqaba is the only port in Jordan and the most sought-after tourist resort in the
country, competing with exclusive destinations in the United Arab Emirates. From the port of
Aqaba you can see the city of Eliat in Israel, Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
In Madaba there is only one Christian church, dedicated to Saint George, which
houses one of the treasures of history, a map of the Holy Land. This is believed to be the
oldest map of the Holy Land, from the sixth century, being worked in the form of a mosaic.
Just 10 km from Madaba is Mount Nebo, and according to Jewish tradition, this is
the mountain from which Moses looked to the Promised Land, the Holy Land in which he
was not allowed to walk. Legend has it that Moses died here at the age of 120, the mountain
being a place of pilgrimage for both the Jewish world and Christians.
The predominant religion in Jordan is Suuni Islam. But there is also a Christian
minority.
The most common tree in Jordan is the olive tree.
Men's dress code in Jordan

Long pants are essential in the city, country and desert, regardless of the weather -
lightly clean and respectable cotton, denim or cloth in simple colors. A buttoned shirt
wrapped in pants conveys a stronger message about the value of cultural sensitivity.
Women’s dress code
HIJAB-is the wave they use to cover their heads. It can be of different sizes
from one or more pieces (max3), the colors being pastel, always in matching with the rest of
the clothes. It is of different sizes covering (according to preferences) from the head, to the
shoulders and chest.
HIJAB AL-AMEERA-is worn especially by pupils and students, giving a

note of elegance but also of modesty at the same time. It has a slightly more complicated way
of attachment because it consists of two pieces: the first piece resembles a cylindrical tube
that is simply pulled on the head to hold the hair tight, over it is placed the second piece
usually having the shape of a trapezoid and the role of covering the neck, the latter being
fastened with needles for safety.
This type of veil is called KHIMAR covering almost the entire face.
. The SHAWL is the wave that has different shapes (square but especially
rectangular) of different sizes, these being mostly embroidered.
JILBABUL-is the most suitable dress to be worn at home,

most of the times being simple, without any decoration and a darker color ... of course paired
with the hijab, in case of an unannounced visit.
This suit is called TUNIC worn by some women in the house because of its
convenience.
CAFTAN are dresses worn both at home but especially

on the street both because of the more resistant material and because of the light embroidery.
ABAYA are the most beautiful dresses in

my opinion! They are the dresses that are worn only at parties and holidays, of course with a
matching shawl or hijab. They have long sleeves often finished in bells giving a note of
elegance and embroidery the most impressive.
This costume is specific to the wedding ... without having a specific name.
We observe the same principle of being as covered as possible, thus pleasing Allah even
more ... and also the future husband!
The last category of the wardrobe is
represented by the clothes for prayer. These are made up of two pieces: an extremely long
hijab or khimar and a dress down to the ground.
Among the most modern jilbabs are those that are made up of three pieces: the
hijab, then a long and wide over-the-knee blouse and long and extremely wide pants. The
hijab is always matched with the blouse.
l , Women with delicate and small feet wear heelless

slippers with an extremely soft and flexible sole, of different colors, decorated or not
(according to preference) with beads or different embroideries.
