Jordan
Must Do Adventure
Bucket List Experience
Amman
Explore the city of Amman, which had once been the home of ancient Byzantine and Roman civilizations. Marvel at the exclusive culture, art, and expression at Jabal Amman and interact with the wingers, writers, and artists at Jabal Al Weibdeh. Head over to The Grand Husseini Mosque at Downtown Amman and check out the beauty of the Byzantine Church, Temple Of Hercules, and Umayyad Palace at Amman Citadel on Jabal Al Qal’ a, at the heart of Downtown.
Wadi Rum camping
Hike to the precipitous summit of Burdah Rock Bridge at Wadi Rum on the Jordan Tour and explore the picturesque surroundings of Khazali Siq, the narrow fissure which cuts straight into Jebel Khazali. Climb up the slopes of the red sand dunes at Jebel Umm Ulaydiyya and catch a glimpse of the Bedouin sheep, camels, and goats and the Thamudic inscriptions at Ain Abu Dineh. Enjoy scrambling, hiking, and climbing at Jebel Rum, at the west of Wadi Rum, and go camel trekking at Barrah Canyon.
Float in the Dead Sea
Marvel at the sea where nothing and nobody can sink that is the Dead Sea. The high concentration of salt in the Inland Rift Valley that is more than 400m below sea level contributes to the absurd buoyancy of the water of the Dead Sea. Visit the Qumran Caves and chill out with spa treatment at Mineral Beach. Go hiking and on exploration tours in En Gedi Nature Park and check out the inscriptions and fauna motifs at Wadi Arugot.
Petra (UNESCO World Heritage Site)
Admire the Egyptian influence of the Obelisk Tomb and Bab As-Siq Triclinium at Petra and watch out for the beautiful cobblestone water channels while taking a walk through Al-Siq. Admire the Rosy Treasury, Al Khazneh, and take in panoramic views of the city from the High Palace Of Sacrifice. Climb the flight of 800 steps to the summit of the Monastery, Al-Deir, to witness the golden sunset from its peak and interact with the Bedouins while camel-riding at Petra Desert.
Aqaba Beach
Explore the site of the Arab Revolt during the First World War in Mamluk Castle at Aqaba and relish a session of swimming at sunset at Palm Beach. Take a trip to Wadi Rum Visitor Center and check out the Bronze artifacts at Aqaba Archaeological Museum adjacent to the Castle. Go snorkeling and diving at Ahlan Scuba Diving Center, Arab Divers, and International Dive Center and admire the architectural intricacy of Sherif Al-Hussein Bin Ali Mosque. Go bird-watching at Aqaba Bird Observatory, too, before calling it a day.
Mount Nebo - Madaba
The calm and tourist-friendly town, Madaba, is renowned for Byzantine Mosaics, Mount Nebo, Mukawir, Hammamat Ma’in, and more. Mount Nebo is located about six miles to the west of Madaba. The peak of Mount Nebo presents the viewer with fascinating vistas of the Jordan River, the Dead Sea, and even of Bethlehem when the sky is clear. The Jordanians consider Mount Nebo to be the tomb of Holy Moses. The solitary, windswept hill protects the ancient ruins of 4th and 6th-century churches of marvelous mosaic floors.
