From
man-made wonders to advanced cities, soul-stimulating desert scenes to
opulent beach resorts, Jordan has everything to call itself a premier
travel destination, all inside a country the size of Maine.
If
you are short on time, but want to explore the best that Jordan has to
offer, let me guide you to the top 3 places that you can’t dare to miss
during your first Jordan trip.
Petra:
Snuggled in a remote valley enclosed by Jordan’s rough mountains, Petra
was left abandoned and concealed from the globe for a long time. After
being founded again the 1880s, Petra is not not just Jordan’s most
visited tourism appeal, it is also now one of the globe’s most
magnificent archaeological sites and was of late chosen as one of the
new 7 wonders of the world.
To
arrive at Petra you stroll through a contracted 2km valley, called as
the Siq. The rocks offer way to uncover the unbelievable frontage of Al
Kazneh, which catered as an imperial tomb, but found its name from the
legends that hid their wealth here.
Go
past the Treasury to uncover the relics of the city encompassing dozens
of old Nabataean burial chambers, and a Roman rock-engraved street
lined with regal tombs, temples, public buildings and an immense
amphitheatre. Petra’s most sensational monument is Ad Deir, which is
magnificently roosted over the city in the splendid Petra Hills.
Wadi Rum:
Primeval
riverbeds, large pastle-colored expanses of sandy desert &
astounding rock formations recognized as jebels from the magnificent
scene of Wadi Rum
in the south of Jordan. This location possesses untouched splendor
produced by millions of years of geological formation, eroding and
evolution.
During
our trip to Wadi Rum we took a 4×4 desert jeep through the center of
the magnificent desert and spent a night at an isolated desert camp
where we witnessed a lovely sunset, relished a time-honored Jordanian
meal and camp beneath the star filled sky.
The Dead Sea:
The lowest point on the planet earth’s surface, the Dead Sea
is an interesting natural splendor. Sprawling the border amid Jordan
and Israel, the mineral content of this 10 kilometers wide and 15
kilometers long saltwater lake is 33 percent, which is nearly 6 times as
salty as a typical ocean. This astoundingly high salt concentration
signifies the Dead Sea is exceedingly floaty, making it unfeasible to
swim in – the only choice is to weave around like a cork.
There’re
no fish, plants or seaweed in or around the water. What you will
observe on the coasts are chunks of white salt minerals. Many assume
that these salts possess healing powers & therapeutic attributes.
Therefore, the Dead Sea is an excellent spot to try the local spas.
