Top 5 Jordan Attractions To Enjoy

If you're interested in exploring other worlds, take a trip to Jordan to discover some truly amazing historic sites and a real taste of the Middle East. From jaw dropping architecture to the surprisingly welcoming waters of the Dead Sea, there's something to please all travellers in Jordan.



For a sightseeing opportunity not to be missed, make sure you carve out a little time to visit Petra. This historical city has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1985, and when you catch a glimpse of its astounding rock-hewn architecture you'll understand why. Petra is one of Jordan's most visited attractions, but don't let the thought of crowds put you off, the sheer scale of the buildings mean you won't miss anything. Take a little time to also visit Little Petra (Al-Beidha), where you'll see some gorgeous natural rock and cave formations.



Another experience to enjoy during your Jordan holiday is an excursion to see Wadi Rum. Also known as The Valley of the Moon, this is an unusual valley cut into sandstone and granite rock in South Jordan. A popular filming location for Hollywood films, Wadi Rum offers some spectacular views of natural beauty. Take a day trip to see Wadi Rum from Petra, or book a camel ride, trek or hiking trip to see this amazing attraction.

There are plenty of attractions to enjoy in the cities of Jordan too, and Jerash is one of the best. Boasting an unbroken chain of human occupation stretching back more than 6,500 years, this is a city packed with historical significance. Pay a visit to the well preserved ruins of time past then pay a trip to the east, where you'll be able to find somewhere to eat and drink in the modern city of Jerash.



Make sure you also take a dip in the Dead Sea when you're in Jordan, to see the lowest point on the face of the earth. The extremely high salt content of the Dead Sea makes it a fascinating sight as well as making it possible for you to float on the surface with very little effort at all. If you prefer to stay on dry land, check out Kerak Castle to see an impressive and imposing Crusader castle up close. You'll also find the Karak Archaeological Museum in the lower court of the castle, perfect for learning about its varied history.



Witness all of these wonders and more when you book Jordan holidays and plan an amazing sightseeing trip.
