Planning to visit Jordan soon? But you don’t know what are the best places to visit apart from amazing stone swirls of Petra? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered when it comes to planning the best activities and taking you to the more authentic places to discover when in Jordan.
From floating in the Dead Sea to riding through the sand in the desert of Wadi Rum, get ready for a more meaningful travel with us.
- FLOAT IN THE DEAD SEA
Swimming in the Dead Sea is on your wish list? We’ll take you there! Saltier than a salty sea dog, the salt levels can threaten to flip you over at any moment without notice, but it is good fun. Also known as the lowest point of earth, it reaches between Jordan and Israel – and will surprise you by its beauty.
- PETRA, THE ANCIENT CAPITAL CITY
Petra is possibly one of the most astounding wonders of the ancient world.
Built by Semitic people as a capital city for the Nabataeans, the incredible site of Petra was only discovered in 1812 by the modern Western world. From the Monastery to the water channels in the canyon, this wonder needs to be experienced in person once in a life. Indulge yourself with endless towering, convoluted rocks and hundreds of monumental-geological tombs going on for miles.
- WADI RUM VILLAGE, JORDAN
When we think of the desert we normally imagine endless expanses of sand and dust. But this Jordanian wadi is one of the most amazing desertscapes on Earth, also known as the “Valley of the Moon,” offers so much more. We will take your on a journey to a vast, silent, and timeless ancient landscape.
Breathtaking and unspoiled landscapes made of high sand dunes, rocky mountains with incredible shapes, narrow canyons with a thousand shades of colour, water sources intertwined between the heights, impressive rock arches, 4,000-year-old rock engravings, and many other wonderful treasures awaits you in this arid valley.
- ROMAN THEATER OF AMMAN
During the trip, we obviously must include the exceptionally well-preserved ancient marvel in the capital of Jordan, Amman.
Less popular than Rome’s ancient monuments and ruins, the 6,000 seats of a 2nd-century Roman amphitheater stand testament to the significance of what was then known as Philadelphia, or “the city of brotherly love.”
This northward-facing landmark is divided into three distinct sections from which ancient spectators watched plays and modern ones listen to concerts.
- THE RUINS OF JERASH
Fan of gladiators battle and chariots race? In the ruins of Jerash, one can see history re-inacted in the ancient hippodrome. In these ruins of a once-great Roman city, you can witness chariots race or gladiators in full regalia clash on the site where Roman warriors one fought.
Hidden for hundreds of years under the shifting sands of Jordan, picturesque ruins are all that remains of a once-great ancient city that saw the likes of Alexander the Great, the emperors Trajan and Hadrian, and the mathematician Nichomachas.
