As a result of these confident projections of growth in the Jordan property market, major development projects such as the Abdali project and King Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz City are already well underway. As well as this, new large-scale projects in destinations such as Aqaba are also under consideration, and an increasingly pro-investment legislature has overseen the handover of numerous large plots of land to major developers for these major projects. As these large-scale projects come online, it is likely that the Jordan property market will experience a period of sustained, aggressive growth.

With property in Jordan currently more affordable than other countries in the region, there is an increasing amount of interest in the region from overseas investors. This external interest, coupled with an increasing amount of local interest, is likely to result in a sustained period of economic growth in the Jordanian property market, and favourable returns for overseas property investors.

A high plateau extends from the Syrian Arab Republic to Ras en Naqab in the south.
