JORDAN

A nice cover from Jordan, depicting a complete set issued in 1999 celebrating 7 historical places in Jordan, including 2 inscribed on UNESCO World Heritage List: Petra and Wadim Rum Protected area.

Wadi Rum - The 74,000-hectare property, inscribed as a mixed natural and cultural site, is situated in Southern Jordan, near the border with Saudi Arabia. It features a varied desert landscape but petroglyphs, inscriptions and archaelogical remains in the site testify to 12,000 years of human occupation and interaction with the natural environment.

Petra - Inhabited since prehistoric times, this Nabataean caravan-city, situated between the Red Sea and the Dead Sea, was an important crossroads between Arabia, Egypt and Syria-Phoenicia. Petra is half-built, half-carved into the rock, and is surrounded by mountains riddled with passages and gorges. It is one of the world's most famous archaeological sites, where ancient Eastern traditions blend with Hellenistic architecture.
Petra is inscribed as Unesco's World Heritage site since 1985 and considered as one the most astonished cultural places in the world.

A nice cover from Jordan, depicting a complete set issued in 2018 on topic "Restoration of Holy Sites in Jerusalém".
The old City of Jerusalem and its walls are inscribed as a UNESCO world heritage site since 2000. As a holy city of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, Jerusalem has always been of great symbolic importance. Among its 220 historic monuments, the Dome of the Rock stands out: built in the 7th century, it is decorated with beautiful geometric and floral motifs. It is recognized by all three religions as the site of Abraham's sacrífice. The Wailing Wall delimits the quarters of the different religious communities, while the Ressurrection rotunda in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre houses Christ's tomb.

An amazing cover from Jordan, depicting a complete set issued in 2015 celebrating "Decapolis".
The Decapolis (from the greek, meaning Ten Cities), was a group of ten cities on the eastern frontier of the Roman Empire in the southeeastern Levant. The cities were grouped together because of their language, culture, location, and political status, with each functioning as an autonomous city-state.
Most of the Decapolis region is located in modern-day Jordan, but Damascus is in Syria and Hippos and Scythopolis in Israel.
