AMMAN — The official YouTube account of HRH Crown Prince Hussein posted a video showcasing Jordan's archaeological sites listed on the World Heritage List.

In a comment on the video, His Highness wrote: "Jordan, the cradle of civilisations and the land of beauty and tolerance."

World Tourism Day is an important occasion to promote Jordan’s tourist and archaeological sites and to enhance responsible and sustainable tourism practices.

The Kingdom is often described as an open-air museum due to the diversity of civilisations that have passed through it, starting from the Stone Ages up to the Islamic era, and including the Persian, Greek, Roman, and Byzantine periods.

Seven sites in Jordan have been listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites: Quseir Amra, the city of Salt, the ancient city of Petra, Wadi Rum, Umm Al Jimal, Umm ar-Rasas, and the Baptism Site.

Meanwhile, 100,000 archaeological sites have been discovered in the Kingdom, of which 15,000 have been officially registered.
