Jordan

Jordan is a young country, but the land it occupies is ancient - the Jordan River has for millennia been flowing through the veins of the world's three great religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. It is a land of extraordinary contrasts and striking beauty: of rainbow-coloured rocks, black basalt deserts and fantastical landscapes. Modern Jordan mirrors this confluence of cultures and peoples with Circassians, Caucasians, Arabians and Palestinians all melding in a rich multicultural brew. Jordan: A Timeless Land, a unique pictorial journey, is lavishly illustrated book which provides a beautiful introduction to this Middle Eastern kingdom.
