Earlier this week, Matador’s new film, Jordan from the Air, gave us a bird’s-eye view of Jordan, a Middle Eastern country best known for the historic city Petra. Besides this location, made famous for its appearance in the film Indian Jones and the Last Crusade, Jordan is a country filled with mountains, rivers, deserts, and cities that are home to an up-and-coming art scene.
