Where to visit in Jordan
Our travel experts have collated their top recommendations of where to visit in Jordan.
Amman
Most travellers to Jordan begin by arriving into the capital city of Amman and then head straight for Petra or one of the other popular destinations, but they’re missing out. It offers a mix of ancient and modern making it worth spending time in. Discover centuries-old ruins like the dramatic Citadel which includes the Roman Temple of Hercules and the 8th-century Umayyad Palace complex. In another hillside, you’ll find a Roman theatre. The Bohemian district of Jabal Amman is a cultural hub with bookshops, art galleries, restaurants, and cafes.
Petra
One of the world’s most famous archaeological sites, Petra is a place where Hellenistic architecture blends with ancient Eastern traditions. The stunning ‘Lost City’ was built around the 1st-century BC, after a series of earthquakes it was abandoned, only to be rediscovered in 1812. Carved right into the sandstone cliffs, with dozens of impressive Greco/Roman-style tombs revealing what was once one of the largest and richest kingdoms in the ancient world. To reach it you’ll walk through the Siq, a narrow crack that’s a split in the massive slab of rock, a procession that provides heightened anticipation of what awaits.
Aqaba
Aquaba is the only coastal city in Jordan, popular as a sun-kissed beach holiday resort which offers a splash of Middle Eastern culture and adventure. Located along the Red Sea, many come to enjoy the outstanding diving and snorkeling opportunities, complete with vibrant reefs, colorful fish and shipwrecks like this sunken M42 Duster American Tank. The old town is filled with colorful souqs like the fruit and vegetable market and the spice market with its savory scents. Exploring the winding alleyways will lead you to a stunning mosque.
Wadi Rum
Also known as the Valley of the Moon, Wadi Rum is a valley that’s cut into the granite rock and sandstone in southern Jordan. A crown jewel in Jordan’s ancient desert, it has a storied history that includes the British officer-turned-author Lawrence of Arabia (T.E. Lawrence), along with spectacular rock formations ancient rock art and one of the world’s most brilliant night skies. With luxury tent camps here, you can even spend the night under the canopy of stars after a day spent exploring on the back of a camel.
Dead Sea
The Dead Sea is actually a lake, sitting at nearly 1,400 feet below sea level. Its high salt content, 10 times more than seawater, causes the water to carry your body so that you float like a cork, no matter how much falafel you’ve indulged in. It also has a mineral content with elements like magnesium that’s said to provide healing properties that are especially good for the skin. One of the most popular things to do other than float is to cover up with the nutrient-rich mud, let it dry and then rinse off, a natural purifying mask.
