This text provides authoritative information on all of Jordan's important historical and archaeological sites - presenting a record of civilization as reflected in the country's cultural and architectural treasures. Humanity's first permanent villages from the Neolithic era; biblical walled towns of the Old Testament; the incredible rock-carved Nabataean capital at Petra; Graeco-Roman cities like Jerash; and majestic Crusader fortresses that were reused by the Ayyubid-Mamluk Arabs are all presented here. Arranged alphabetically, site descriptions include photographs, maps, plans, suggested itineraries, and listings by geographical region and historical era.
Rami Khouri has written books and articles on the antiquities of Jordan for 20 years and hosts a weekly Jordan Radio programme entitled Jordan: Ancient Cultures.
