Countries that border Jordan
5 land neighbours: Iraq, Israel, Palestine, Saudi Arabia and Syria. Each one has a page of its own.
Why this one is hard
5 neighbours to keep in the right order.
Its 5 land borders are joint 5th-most in Asia — level with Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Laos, Myanmar, Syria and Uzbekistan. Of the 10 possible pairings among them, 4 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. Saudi Arabia is the most connected of them, with 7 land borders of its own. All of them deal on the Asia board alongside Jordan, and on the world board with everyone else in Asia.

Amman
Capital Rush deals Jordan and offers four capitals; this is the one that pays. It comes up on the Asia board and on the world board, which is twice as many chances to get it wrong.
