Jordan
Jordan is a unique and blessed land of the Old and New Testaments
and the early years of Islam. Its largest industries are phosphate mining,
fertilizers, potash, cement, oil refining and electric power generation.
In late 1980s Jordan turned to light-manufactured goods and technical
industries, such as pharmaceuticals.
