The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is a kingdom in south west Asia. It has a total area of 91,880 km2. The climate is mostly arid desert with a rainy season in the west lasting from November through to April. The terrain is mostly desert plateau in the east with a highland area in the west; the Great Rift Valley separates the East and West Banks of the Jordan River. Natural resources are phosphates, potash and shale oil. The religion is 92% Sunni Muslim and 8% Christian. The official language is Arabic with English widely understood among the upper and middle classes. Jordan was part of the Byzantine Empire before passing to the Ottoman Empire during the 16th century until the Ottoman Empire was dissolved following the Great War when Jordan was named Transjordan and made a British administered area. In 1923 Transjordan became a separate emirate and achieved full independence as the Kingdom of Jordan in 1946.
