If you’re sick of seeing the exact same holiday photos filling your feed (looking at you, Amalfi, Mykonos, Maldives) and yearn for something…more, book a trip to Jordan. A fascinating mix of ancient ruins, desert adventures, warm hospitality and coral reefs, Jordan is one of those once-in-a-lifetime holiday destinations that you tell your future grandchildren all about. Synonymous with the ancient city of Petra, an incredible archaeological site preserved in the windswept Siq of southern Jordan, the ruins of this once-great lost city are breath-taking and lure travellers from all over. While the exact history of Petra is somewhat sketchy, Petra played an important role as a thriving trade centre around the time of the Roman Empire and is an absolute must-see.
Although it might be tempting to spend all of your time in Jordan exploring Petra, that would be a mistake as then you would miss the deserts of Wadi Rum and its incredible rock formations and moonscapes. Jordan’s capital city Amman is also a must-visit. As the launch pad for many Jordan tours, Amman is a fascinating destination in its own right. It’s here where you will find the ruins of the ancient citadel and Roman Theatre. For a Middle Eastern beach holiday, be sure to include a few days in the port city of Aqaba on the Red Sea to snorkel your way around the Aqaba Marine Park. A holiday in Jordan will uncover a Middle Eastern jewel that will leave you with lasting memories.
