Jordan is a country located in the Middle East, known for its rich history, culture, and natural beauty. It is a popular destination for tourists who want to explore its many ancient sites, deserts, and natural wonders.

Some popular things to see and do in Jordan include:

  • Visiting Petra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, which is an ancient city carved into rock that offers a glimpse into the Nabateans‘ sophisticated culture and engineering.
  • Visiting the Wadi Rum, a desert valley that is known for its red sand and rock formations, and is a popular spot for camel trekking, hot air balloon rides, and stargazing.
  • Visiting the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth, where you can float in the salt-rich waters and visit the nearby spa resorts that offer a variety of health and beauty treatments.
  • Visiting the Jerash, an ancient Roman city that is considered one of the best-preserved Roman provincial towns in the world, and offers a glimpse into the Roman Empire’s engineering and architectural achievements.
  • Visiting the Aqaba, a seaside city located at the southern tip of Jordan, known for its beaches, scuba diving, and snorkeling, as well as its historic sites such as the Aqaba Fort.
  • Visiting the Madaba, a city that is known for its mosaics, including the famous Madaba Map, an ancient mosaic map of the Holy Land that was discovered in the city’s St. George Church.

Jordan is also known for its delicious local cuisine, such as the famous mansaf, a traditional Bedouin dish made of lamb, yogurt and rice, and the falafel, a popular street food made of ground chickpeas mixed with spices.

I recommend you to check the official website of the Jordan’s Tourist board or the Ministry of Tourism for the most up-to-date information before planning your visit.
