Press coverage of the unrest in areas of the Middle East has reached a point where it may appear that the entire region is unstable, and ready to explode any minute into protest and violence.

That is quite an exaggeration, though, as there are large portions of the region that remain safe and stable and have been so for a long time. Jordan travel, for example, is still very safe. The country sits just to the east of Israel and to the south of Syria, and it is becoming one of the emerging tourist destinations for the 21st century. Much of the country is still coming into the modern age, but it posses rich history that reaches back to the earliest civilizations. The ancient city of Petra is located there and it has been designated as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
