Jordan is an Arab kingdom in Western Asia, on the East Bank of the Jordan River. Jordan is classified as a country of "high human development" with an "upper middle income" economy. The Jordanian economy, one of the smallest economies in the region, is attractive to foreign investors based upon a skilled workforce. [1] The country is a major tourist destination, and also attracts medical tourism due to its well developed health sector. [2] Nonetheless, a lack of natural resources, large flow of refugees and regional turmoil have crippled economic growth. [3]
