Tucker Carlson, the American journalist and commentator, expressed admiration for Jordan’s landscapes, historic sites, and preservation efforts during a recent visit.
Carlson highlighted the lush greenery and well-maintained trees, noting that the country appeared even more vibrant than he remembered from previous trip. He described Wadi Rum as one of the quietest places he has ever visited, praising its tranquility and natural beauty.
He also visited the Baptism Site of Jesus on the Jordan River, expressing awe at the historic and religious significance of the location. Carlson commended the Jordanian government for preserving Christian sites and providing generous land allocations for churches, calling it “a very important message.”
Reflecting on Petra, which he last visited 10 years ago, Carlson marveled at the city’s ancient rock-cut architecture, suggesting that the builders may have had advanced techniques not fully understood today. He encouraged visitors to come in February rather than July to fully appreciate the site.
Carlson described Jordan as “stunning” and said the country’s landscapes and historic monuments reflect a sense of divine beauty.
