Audio Tours

One of the latest enhancements to the Virtual World Project has been the addition of interpretive audio clips. In Jordan, check out Qsar Bshir, Buseirah, Iraq al-Amir, and Ramm. In Israel, visit the Caves of Amud, Bethsaida, En Gedi, En Gev, Gush Halav, Hadar, Herodium, Khirbet Shema, and Meiron. Watch for Khirbet Qumran to be posted soon!

Focus on Syria-Palestine

Focus of the Virtual World Project is Syria-Palestine - the present-day countries of Israel, Jordan, and Syria - which is the area of academic interest of the project's directors. Many sites in Israel and Jordan have been photographed and incorporated into the project. Sites in Syria are scheduled to be photographed in the future.

In 2002, early in the project's history, a number of sites were photographed in Greece and Turkey, and they continue to be available as "legacy sites" on the project. 

New additions in Jordan

The virtual tours for Amman, Petra, Dhat Ras, Dharih, and Lehun in Jordan have recently been added to the Virtual World Project.
