Humanity's first permanent villages from the Neolithic era; biblical walled towns of the Old Testament; the incredible rock-carved Nabataean capital at Petra; Graeco-Roman cities like Jerash; and majestic Crusader fortresses that were reused by the Ayyubid-Mamluk Arabs are all presented here. Arranged alphabetically, site descriptions include photographs, maps, plans, suggested itineraries, and listings by geographical region and historical era.
