Petra – The Ancient Wonder
No trip to Jordan is complete without visiting Petra, the world-famous archaeological city that was once the thriving capital of the Nabataean kingdom. Known as the "Rose City" due to the pinkish-red hue of its stone facades, Petra is a UNESCO World Heritage site that will leave you in awe. From the dramatic Siq, a narrow canyon that leads to the stunning Treasury, to the impressive Monastery and Royal Tombs carved into the rock, Petra is a journey back in time. Visitors should plan to spend at least a full day exploring its vast network of temples, tombs, and monumental buildings.
Amman – Jordan’s Bustling Capital
Amman, the vibrant capital of Jordan, offers a modern contrast to the country’s ancient sites. With its mix of contemporary architecture, traditional souks, and historical landmarks, Amman has something for everyone. The Roman Amphitheatre and the Citadel are must-visit landmarks that offer panoramic views of the city. The city's lively cafes and restaurants provide a perfect introduction to Jordanian cuisine and hospitality.
The Dead Sea – A Unique Natural Wonder
The Dead Sea is one of the most iconic attractions in Jordan, known for its incredibly salty waters where you can effortlessly float. It’s also the lowest point on Earth, located at over 400 metres below sea level. The mineral-rich mud and waters are celebrated for their therapeutic properties, making the Dead Sea a popular destination for those seeking relaxation and wellness treatments.
Aqaba – Jordan’s Coastal Gem
At Jordan’s southernmost tip lies Aqaba, the country's premier beach resort city. Aqaba sits on the Red Sea coast, offering crystal-clear waters, stunning coral reefs, and luxury beachfront resorts. It’s a paradise for water sports enthusiasts, especially scuba diving and snorkelling, thanks to its vibrant marine life. The city’s waterfront promenade, modern shopping districts, and historic landmarks like Aqaba Fort create a relaxed yet vibrant atmosphere perfect for holidays.
Wadi Rum – The Valley of the Moon
Known as the "Valley of the Moon," Wadi Rum is a vast desert landscape characterised by towering sandstone mountains, dramatic cliffs, and endless dunes. This protected desert reserve is one of the most spectacular places in Jordan, with its otherworldly scenery attracting adventurers and photographers alike. Visitors can explore Wadi Rum by jeep, on foot, or even by camel, and for an unforgettable experience, spending the night in a traditional Bedouin camp under the stars is highly recommended.

When to Visit Jordan
The best time to visit Jordan is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) when the weather is mild and comfortable for exploring both the desert and coastal areas. In spring, the landscapes are dotted with wildflowers, making the scenery especially vibrant. Autumn brings cooler temperatures, making it an ideal time to visit the desert expanses of Wadi Rum or take in the sights at Petra without the summer heat. Summers (June to August) can be extremely hot, particularly in the desert and around the Dead Sea, though Aqaba’s coastal breeze offers some relief. Winter (December to February) is cooler, with occasional rainfall, and Petra can even see snow, adding a magical touch to the ancient city. However, winter is still a good time for visitors looking to explore the warmer southern regions, such as Aqaba and the Red Sea.
