Jordan in the Modern Era

Modern Jordan: development under King Hussein and King Abdullah II, peace and its role today.

Independent Jordan grew from a small mandate territory into a modern state under King Hussein (1952–1999) and King Abdullah II (1999–present). His Majesty King Abdullah II has guided education, the economy, constitutional reform and a stable role for the country in a turbulent region.

Jordan signed a peace treaty with Israel in 1994 and remains a key mediator and home to millions of refugees. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan experience this stability directly, and full package tours to Jordan rely on the country's safe, modern infrastructure.
