Jordan Information - Country Guides
Until the early 20th century, Jordan was part of Palestine, most of which is now the State of Israel. The area is home to one of the oldest civilizations in the world - archaeological finds from the west bank of the Jordan River have been dated at around 9000 BC. Having had associations with three of the world's greatest religions, Jordan has been a prized territory for Jews, Christians and Muslims.
Mediterranean climates prevail in the north and west of Jordan, while the most of the country is desert. Generally, the country has warm, dry summers and mild, wet winters, with annual average temperatures ranging from 12 to 25 C (54 to 77 F) and summertime highs reaching the 40s (105-115 F) in the desert regions. Rainfall averages vary from 50mm (1.97 inches) annually in the desert to as much as 800 mm (31.5 inches) in the northern hills, some of which falls as snow.
