That is a turtle not a tortoise. I don't know what species, but I alerted a couple members who should be able to help.

Looks like a Pelomedusa subrufa (African helmeted turtle) to me.

Agree. And it is the subspecies - North African helmeted turtle. P.s. olivacea

Don't know - sorry. Whatever species it may be, it's beautiful. GOD bless.

(By the way, I live in Jordan, quite near to you).

Ditto. And a flawless specimen as well!
What a little beauty.
