Golden Globe Season 1 Episode 49 Jordan 2009
The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan stretches between vast deserts in the east and the shores of the Dead Sea. Oak forests in the north form the backdrop of Mar Elias and the Arab fortress Ajlun. The Roman world comes to life again in the extensive excavation fields of Gerasa, as well as in the amphitheater and in the citadel of the capital Amman. Its souk and the Blue Mosque point to the Islamic present. The film journey continues south to Madaba, Mount Nebo and Bethany to the Dead Sea. The Wadi bin Hammad and the Dhana nature reserve offer varied vegetation. This is followed by the Wadi Mujib and the Kerak Crusader Fortress. Highlights are the legendary Nabataean city of Petra and the fantastic steppes and rock domes of Wadi Rum. Aqaba is the only port and bathing center on the Red Sea.
