Abstract

Jordan has taken a big step towards prosperity and progress through the will of its people and its sovereign. Indeed, it has built roads, factories, schools, universities, health centers and services. Moreover, the emphasis on women as partners in all areas has allowed them to take part in the development of the country. All this has had a positive impact on the populations of the desert who were previously moving from one point to another in search of pasture and water and who have become sedentary. This stability is due to the provision of decent living conditions such as housing, services of all types and schools that allowed them to change their lifestyle and become farmers.
