Un paseo por Ammán, mucho más que la puerta de entrada a Petra

* La intensa capital de Jordania es mucho más que un aeropuerto. Es, entre otras cosas, cultura, gastronomía e historia.

Filadelfia quiere decir, en griego, ciudad del amor fraternal. Y así llamaron los griegos a Ammán, la capital de Jordania, una bulliciosa urbe repleta de interés que, muchas veces, queda relegada a mera escala de entrada y salida de Jordania. Ammán alberga el aeropuerto internacional que sirve de principal puerta de acceso al país y, eclipsada por las muchas joyas del reino hachemita -con Petra a la cabeza, pero sin olvidar el mar Muerto, las playas de Aqaba, el desierto de Wadi Rum, la ciudad romana de Jerash o los innumerables escenarios bíblicos-, se queda a menudo injustamente olvidada por los viajeros.

Running along the coast of the Dead Sea is the ancient civilisation of Jordan. As well as being home to some of the most well-preserved archaeological sites of the Roman Empire, it's now a thriving economy with the capital Amman at its centre.

Jordan is considered one of the most liberal countries in the Arab world and is an exceptionally safe place to visit, compared with many of its neighbours in the Middle East.

"With a small population of only 10 million, Jordan is a destination for nature lovers and history nerds."

Archaeologists in Saudi Arabia excavate kingdoms mentioned in Old Testament

Archaeologists in Saudi Arabia are excavating sites related to the 2000 years old Dadanite and Lihyanite civilisations. Dadan is mentioned in the Old Testament and the Lihyanite kingdom was one of the largest of its time, stretching from Medina in the South to Aqaba in the north in modern-day Jordan.

Amid the arid desert and mountains of Al Ula in northwest Saudi Arabia, archaeologists are working to excavate the remnants of the ancient and long-forgotten kingdoms of Dadan and Lihyan.

Al Ula, a flagship tourist destination since it opened in 2019, is known chiefly for the majestic tombs of Madain Saleh, a 2,000-year-old city carved into rocks by the Nabateans, the pre-Islamic Arab people who also built Petra in neighbouring Jordan.

Localizada al suroeste de Jordania, la ciudad de Petra está considerada una de las nuevas siete maravillas del mundo moderno y Patrimonio Mundial de la Unesco desde 1985. No es de extrañar que esta impresionante ciudad excavada y esculpida en la roca durante el siglo VIII a.C. sea conocida por todo el mundo y uno de los lugares más visitados de Oriente Medio.

The move comes as the country is trying to revive its economy which has been badly hit since the outbreak of the pandemic.

Civil aviation commission chief Haitham Misto told state television that flights from 22 "low risk" countries will be
