Why should I visit Jordan?
If you haven't been to Jordan before, you may be wondering if it’s a good holiday destination. Here are some top reasons why travel to Jordan should be on your itinerary.
Jordan is a land that is full of ancient history, from fascinating artefacts in museums to entire UNESCO heritage sites. From the ancient city of Petra to the relics of the Crusades and Roman times, there is much to uncover in Jordan.
Jordan has some stunning and quite unique scenery. Take a ride out to Wadi Rum and see an almost alien landscape of towering rock formations, or visit the salt-rich waters of the Dead Sea.
Jordan is full of amazing delicacies that can be hard to find elsewhere. Try mansaf, a dish that is made from lamb cooked in fermented yoghurt, or baklava, a popular Jordanian dessert.
There are many unique experiences and adventures to be had in Jordan. Explore the Jordan Trail to see the full beauty of this land on display and enjoy the special hospitality provided at a Bedouin camp.
Once you've visited the desert and seen the land's historical treasures, there is plenty of entertainment in its main cities. Places like Amman have a vibrant nightlife scene, while Aqaba has plenty of lovely beaches for swimming and relaxing.
What are the best cities to visit in Jordan?
Finding it hard to know where to start exploring Jordan? Here are some great cities to start your journey.
1. Amman
Amman is the capital city of Jordan and is a place where Jordan's history and culture combine with 21st-century modernity. Here, you can visit the Citadel, an archaeological site on a hill over 2,700 feet above sea level. You can also explore the preserved Roman Theatre and artefacts in the Jordan Museum. After that, experience shopping and dining in Al Balad and the vibrant nightlife on Rainbow Street.
2. Petra
One of the most famous destinations in all of Jordan, Petra is an ancient city carved out of rock in the middle of the desert. Perhaps one of the most photographed areas in Petra is the façade of the treasury building, which was used in the movie Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Take a look around the site to explore more buildings carved out of rock and get a feel for how the ancient Nabateans lived.
3. Aqaba
Aqaba is the only coastal city in Jordan and is fast transforming itself into a resort city. It is also close to popular attractions like Petra and Wadi Rum, making it an ideal location to base your adventures. Aqaba also has some of the nicest beaches in the Middle East, although many are owned by resorts and require a fee to enter. Nonetheless, this is a great place for swimming and snorkelling in the crystal clear waters of the Red Sea.
4. Jerash
Within the city of Jerash, you can find the remains of Gerasa, one of the most well-preserved ancient Roman cities in the region. Take a stroll through the ancient forum and see Hadrian's Arch and the spectacular Temples of Zeus and Artemis. While here, take some time to explore modern-day Jerash and sample some of the local delicacies, such as locally produced olive oil.
5. Madaba
Home to one of the largest Christian communities in the region, Madaba is a great place to uncover the history of early Christianity. Pay a visit to St. George's Church, home to a 6th-century mosaic map of the Holy Land. There is also Mt Nebo, where Moses is said to have witnessed the Promised Land, and a nearby museum.
What are the best activities to do in Jordan?
Jordan holidays offer a wide variety of historical and cultural activities to enjoy. Here are some of the best to check out.
1. Swim in the Dead Sea
Well, no one actually swims in the Dead Sea. Rather, they float on top. This is because the Dead Sea has the highest salt content of any natural body of water in the world. In addition, the Dead Sea is well known for its medicinal qualities, so why not visit a spa and enjoy a therapeutic mud bath while here?
2. Explore Wadi Rum
The desert of Wadi Rum is about as close to a Martian landscape as you can find without leaving Earth. Take a jeep tour out into the wilderness and see the unique rock formations that make up this region. See where films such as Lawrence of Arabia and Dune were filmed, and set up camp at night to enjoy some spectacular star gazing.
3. Go hiking in Jordan's nature reserves
Jordan has some excellent hiking trails where you can see the local plant and animal life in the wild. Head to Umm Qais, the scenic forest trails that lead around some fascinating historic sites. Then, head to Dana Biosphere Reserve to explore over 600 species of plant life, as well as rare animals, like Nubian ibexes and Syrian wolves.
Jordan is an amazing country with many natural treasures to be discovered. Book now for great deals on flights to Jordan.
