Jordan, a young country dense with history, full of natural wonders and historical sites, a well-travelled bridge between sea and desert, east and west. Situated just east of the River Jordan, it continues to be a bridge between ancient and new civilizations and an open-air museum in almost all its entirety. Jordan is a country for all seasons. In winter it offers therapy at the Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth where 'floating' rather than 'swimming' is a unique adventure in the extremely saline and mineral rich waters. Shopping, excellent oriental and international cuisine, aromas, flavours, colours and most of all smiling people, mix and blend to make Jordan an unforgetable place.
You may be looking for a house, apartment or villa to purchase or property to rent in Jordan. Vacation rentals in Jordan are often offered by the owners of the properties real estate agents may also offer property for sale or rent. If you are considering buying real estate in Dubai or anywhere else for that matter, the most widely used method of borrowing the funds to make the purchase is a mortgage. International Property Directory has agreements in place to offer the services of a well known mortgage company who will help at the required stages of a mortgage application. International Property Directory can also help you obtain great currency exchange rates with it's partner MoneyCorp.
The greater part of Jordan consists of a plateau some 700-1,000 metres above sea level. There are no natural topographical frontiers between Jordan and its neighbours Syria, Iraq and Saudi Arabia, and the plateau continues unbroken into three countries. The River Jordan rises just inside Syria and flows through Israel and Jordan until entering the Dead Sea 251km from its source. It is a tiny trickle of a river, especially in summer and, though a de facto frontier, is not a great natural obstacle.
Summers are hot, especially on the plateau and in the Jordan valley, where temperatures over 49ºc have been recorded. Winters are fairly cold, and on the plateau frost and some snow are usual. The key element is rainfall. Only about 25% of the total area of Jordan is suitable for cultivation. Jordan is therefore far from self-sufficient in foodstuffs, notably wheat. Some winter crops (grains) are grown in highland areas. High value vegetable and fruit crops are grown under irrigation in the Jordan Valley region, partly for export to neighbouring Arab countries. Jordan's plans for agricultural development entail increased irrigation, which depends on the availability of water, a scarce commodity in the region and therefore a potential bone of contention between Jordan and its neighbours. Various projects to improve the availability of water are being considered.
If you are looking into purchasing or renting or trying to find a luxury property for sale in Jordan you may be limited to the type of alterations you can make to the property. You will benefit from living in the environment of your choice plus, in many cases, your improvements will add to the value or saleability of your home but always ask the local authoirities or the agents on the ground who you found through using International Property Directory. Qualify any rental yield of any property investment before purchasing property in Jordan or anywhere in the world. The yield is the rent as a percentage of the purchase price. Check with your real estate agent to find out the probably rent that can be achieved or if there are any comparables available. Rental yield results will vary according to location, market conditions and the property conditions itself.

Prices have continued to rise strongly with prices rising about 20% over the past year and with Jordan’s economic position being transformed over the past few years this has led to an increase in consumer activity. Amman is increasingly seen as a good place to do locate a business as the country which offers stability and security in an otherwise troubled region. Jordan’s opening to the sea, Aqaba, is experiencing an enormous investment boom.
