EXPLORE JORDAN - 3 ESSENTIAL ATTRACTIONS FOR YOUR PERFECT VACATION

Jordan: 3 Must-Visit Attractions

1. Dead Sea

• The Dead Sea is one of the saltiest bodies of water on Earth, making it impossible for plants and animals to live, hence its name. It is historically noted as one of the world’s first health resorts, with records dating back to Herod the Great, the Roman Jewish King from 72 BCE. The mineral-rich waters are known to boost skin health and treat other conditions. The high salinity allows even non-swimmers to float effortlessly. The area is surrounded by sea-facing resorts, making it a perfect destination to unwind.

2. Petra

• Petra is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most iconic archaeological sites. Half of Petra is carved into rock, while the other half is built around it, earning it the nickname "Red Rose City" due to the color of its buildings. It is believed to be constructed in the 4th century BC, making it one of the oldest cities. Highlights include the Hyatt Zaman, a renovated Jordanian village hotel, the Bubble Luxotel, and Bedouin camps. The Movenpick Petra offers luxurious European-style accommodations overlooking the mountains of Petra.

3. Amman

• Amman is the capital and largest city of Jordan, known for its blend of modern and ancient structures. Key attractions include the historic Citadel with the Roman Temple of Hercules, the Umayyad Palace, and one of the oldest and largest Roman Theaters, seating 6,000 people. The Royal Automobile Museum, opened in 2003, showcases a collection of antique convertible cars, vintage Rolls Royce, Mercedes, and even Porsche cars. The museum offers a unique experience for car enthusiasts and photography lovers.
