Jordan accepted the UNESCO convention on 5 May 1975. There are seven World Heritage Sites listed in Jordan, with a further 14 on the tentative list. The first two sites inscribed to the list were Petra and Qusayr 'Amra, both listed in 1985. The most recent inscription was Umm el-Jimal, listed in 2024. Six sites are listed for their cultural significance while Wadi Rum is listed both for cultural and natural significance. Jordan has served on the World Heritage Committee twice.
