Things to do in Jordan

Discover Ancient Petra
Ancient Petra, one of the New 7 Wonders of the World, will literally leave you breathless. You’ll walk through the narrow Siq amidst towering rock walls until suddenly, the grand Treasury with its massive columns comes into view. Carved into the cliffs, the ‘Lost City’ dates back to the 1st-century BC, lost in time after a series of earthquakes, rediscovered in 1812.

See Petra at Night
Petra can also be visited at night by following a candlelit path through the Siq, a surreal experience strolling among the walls toward the Treasury, which is illuminated with thousands of candles after dark. Traditional Bedouin performances are held here at night providing just one more reason to visit at least twice, during the day and after the sun goes down.

Relax in the Dead Sea
While the Dead Sea is a lake, it’s loaded with salt – 10 times more than seawater. The high salt content causes people to float rather than sink – in fact, you can even lay on your back and read a book. It’s also known for its high mineral content with elements like magnesium that are said to be healing for the skin.

Enjoy a Mud Bath
The minerals in the mud along the Dead Sea also contain healing qualities. You can rub it all over yourself, let it dry and then rinse off the sea for a natural mask that results in smooth, baby soft skin. There are also spas that utilize the healing properties of the Dead Sea in indulgent treatments for luxurious pampering.

Go Canyoning in Wadi Mujib
Wadi Mujib, easily reached from the Dead Sea, provides an ideal day trip for canyoning in warm water that starts by rappelling down a waterfall into a fast-flowing river. You’ll plunge down natural waterslides, swim through pools and narrow gorges, one the top adventures to enjoy in Jordan, and one of the best ways to cool off from the heat.

Visit Wadi Rum
This renowned desert valley that was the famous base for British officer-turned-author T.E. Lawrence, better known as Lawrence of Arabia, is filled with magnificent sandstone arches, soaring cliffs and narrow gorges. The home of the Bedouins, inhabited for almost 12,000 years, today visitors enjoy camel safaris and Jeep tours to explore its most impressive sights like the Seven Pillars of Wisdom.

Sleep in a Bedouin Camp
One of the top things to do in Wadi Rum is enjoy an authentic Bedouin experience by camping in luxury tent. Most include traditional dinners with the meal prepared underground, and after dark, your way is lit by candlelight. Far from light pollution, you’ll enjoy one of the world’s best night skies for stargazing, with billions sparkling overhead after dark.

See the Dana Nature Reserve
The Dana Nature Reserve is Jordan’s largest nature reserve, covering over 123 square miles with soaring mountains and Wadis, slicing through the Rift Valley. It’s one of Jordan’s best places for hiking, including the popular trek that travels from the 15th-century stone village of Dana, a farming and arts community overlooking the picturesque valley while providing a glimpse of the local life.

See the Ruins in Jerash
Jerash is a popular day trip from Amman, home to one of the most well-preserved ancient Roman cities in the world, dating back 6,500 years. An important city on the Roman trade route, the dry climate kept it in excellent condition while it laid untouched for centuries. In 1925 excavations began, uncovering water fountains, theatres, arches, temples, columns, plazas and more.

Mount Nebo
Mount Nebo, an elevated ridge near Madaba, is said to be the spot where Moses saw the Promised Land. Many make a spiritual journey here, with a Byzantium church and active monastery popular destinations on pilgrimages. While it’s an important destination for all faiths, the picturesque views of the Holy land from the top are worth the visit alone.
