Jordan occupies an area of around 91,880 sq. km in Southwest Asia.
As observed on the physical map above, the country can be divided into three main physiographic regions.
The desert region includes the eastward extensions of the Syrian and the Ard As Sawwan Deserts and covers over four-fifths of the country.
To the west of the desert is the upland region that features an escarpment overlooking the rift valley to the west. Here the average elevation of land is 600 to 900 m. Jordan’s highest point marked on the map by a yellow upright triangle is located at the southern edge of this upland region. It is the 5,755 feet (1,754 m) tall Mount Ramm.
Further west is the Great Rift Valley’s mountains and hills that cut through the Jordan River’s East and West Banks.
Significant bordering bodies of water include the Dead Sea, the Gulf of Aqaba and the Sea of Galilee.
The Jordan River runs for about 5,755 feet (1,754 m) and drains into the Dead Sea.
