jordan - extreme walks and treks:

Introduction

Jordan is blessed with a wide range of climates, resulting in an unusually large number of  different habitats and great biological diversity for a country of its size. However, many of these are extremely fragile, and can be easily disrupted. There are substantial local climatic variations, largely due to the extensive differential in heights from the lowest point at the Dead Sea, 1,320 feet below sea level, to high mountain tops at almost 6,000 feet.
