Jordan travel guide

Jordan is best known for its true world wonder, the rose red city of Petra, carved from stone and long hidden in its desert canyon

Related Content
But Jordan is far from a one-trick pony (or should that be camel?). Elsewhere, Roman remains at Jerash and Azraq, Hellenic ruins at Umm Qais and crusader castles at Karak and Shobak draw history buffs.

And Jordan's natural charms are just as alluring: float in the briny Dead Sea, dive the dazzling depths to explore Red Sea reefs at Aqaba, spot wildlife in the valleys and heights of Dana Nature Reserve, and wander the desert expanses of Wadi Rum – by foot, 4WD or camel power.

Sprinkle in Jordan's tempting cuisine, great walking and canyoning, easily traversable distances and smiling people, and you've got the recipe for the perfect Middle East mezze.

Wanderlust recommends

  1. Discover the green Middle East – hike the Al-Ayoun Trail in north Jordan
  2. See Petra – and take time to explore beyond the iconic treasury
  3. Rejuvenate your skin with a Dead Sea mud spa
  4. Dive the vibrant reefs of the Red Sea at Aqaba
  5. See a chariot race at the Roman theatre in Jerash

Wanderlust tips

For a different perspective on Petra, take the six-day trek from Dana to enter the rose-red city through the back door. Try a hammam ('Turkish' bath) – especially good as a way for women to get chatting to local ladies.
