Located in the Middle East, Jordan is northwest of Saudi Arabia, east of Israel, and south of Syria and Iraq. It covers an area slightly smaller than Indiana. The terrain is mostly a desert plateau in the east and a highland area in the west. The desert region is dry and arid and the western highlands have a rainy season from November to April. Arable land comprises 4% of Jordan's terrain. Natural resources include phosphates, potash and shale oil.

Jordan is a small Arab country with inadequate supplies of water and other natural resources such as oil. Debt, poverty and unemployment are fundamental problems, but King Abdallah, since assuming the throne in 1999, has undertaken some broad economic reforms in a long-term effort to improve living standards. Amman in the past three years has worked closely with the IMF, practiced careful monetary policy, and made significant headway with privatization. The government also has liberalized the trade regime sufficiently to secure Jordan's membership in the WTO (2000), an association agreement with the EU (2000), and a free trade accord with US (2000). These measures have helped improve productivity and have put Jordan on the foreign investment map. The substantial trade deficit is covered by tourism receipts, worker remittances, and foreign assistance. Ongoing challenges include fiscal adjustment to reduce the budget deficit and broader investment incentives to promote job-creating ventures. Its GDP is composed of: agriculture (4%), industry (30%) and services (67%).

Jordan has around 617,300 Telephone lines and 600,000 Internet users
