The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, also known as the JK (short for The Jordanian Kingdom), is a kingdom on the East Bank of the River Jordan in Western Asia. It borders Saudi Arabia to the south-east, Iraq to the east, Syria to the north and Israel and the Palestinian territories to the west, sharing control of the Dead Sea. Jordan's only port is at its southern tip, at the Gulf of Aqaba. Much of Jordan is covered by the Arabian Desert. However, the north-western part of Jordan is part of the Fertile Crescent. The capital city is Amman.
One of the most prominent, ancient states geographically located in what is now the State of Jordan, was the Nabatean Kingdom, with their capital at Petra, the Nabataean Kingdom controlled regional trade routes by dominating a large area southwest of the fertile crescent . As a result, Petra enjoyed independence, prosperity and wealth for hundreds of years until it was absorbed by the Persian Empire and later the Roman Empire which was still
expanding in 100 CE.
Modern Jordan is predominantly urbanized. Jordan is classified as a country of "high human development" by the 2010 Human Development Report. Furthermore, The Kingdom is classified as an emerging market with a free market economy by the CIA World Fact Book. It has more Free Trade Agreements than any other country in the region. It has a pro-Western regime with very close relations with the United Kingdom and the United States. It also became a major non-NATO ally of the United States in 1996, and is one of only two nations in the region, the other being Egypt, that have diplomatic relations with Israel.
