Fight on Isis
When the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) released horrific footage of the immolation of pilot Moath al-Kasasbeh in early February, a Jordanian government spokesman vowed that Jordan’s response would be “earth-shaking”. The country, one of four Arab states taking part in airstrikes against ISIS, then bombed 56 ISIS targets in Syria in a three-day campaign to avenge the death of the 26-year-old Jordanian air force pilot.The country, one of four Arab states taking part in airstrikes against ISIS, then bombed 56 ISIS targets in Syria in a three-day campaign to avenge the death of the 26-year-old Jordanian air force pilot.The country, one of four Arab states taking part in airstrikes against ISIS, then bombed 56 ISIS targets in Syria in a three-day campaign to avenge the death of the 26-year-old Jordanian air force pilot.
Football is the best sport in Jordan
the most popular sport in Jordan. In every area, from Khalda all the way to Al Hashimi Al-Janoobial, most people on every street play football. Football is becoming increasingly popular in Jordan, especially because of the large recent improvements in Jordan's national football team. The national football team reached 37th in September 2004 according to the FIFA Rankings. Little Leagues and Youth Clubs related to football are also very popular in Jordan, some of which are supervised and run by the Jordan Football Association.
The Jordan League which is similar to the English Premier League, attracts reasonable crowds each week once the season has begun. The league which began in 1944 has seen huge growth in the past decade, with new teams, improved players, new stadiums and highly paid Managers. Under the Jordan League is the Second Division Jordan League. However the bottom two teams in the first division get relegated at the end of the season, whilst the top two teams in the second division are promoted. In doing this it gives teams in the second division a bigger motivation to do well in the league, whilst at the same time makes sure that teams in the first division always try their best to avoid relegation.
Best food Traditions in Jordan
Some of the traditions of hospitality come from Jordanian Bedouin culture. For example, often, the host and his/her guest are to share a cup of black coffee. The host drinks out of the cup first, ensuring that the coffee is the right temperature. The guest then drinks what remains of the first cup.
