Jordan
Jordan packs extraordinary history into a compact kingdom — Petra, the rose-red Nabataean city carved into sandstone cliffs, the Martian landscape of Wadi Rum where Lawrence of Arabia camped, and the Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth where you float without effort.

What to Do in Jordan
Iconic activities and unmissable experiences across all destinations
Amman Citadel
A hilltop archaeological site with ruins spanning Roman, Byzantine, and Umayyad periods, including the Temple of Hercules — also the best viewpoint over Amman's hills of white buildings.
Roman Theatre
A well-preserved 2nd-century amphitheatre seating 6,000, still used for concerts today, carved into the hillside in the heart of downtown Amman.
Rainbow Street
Amman's trendiest street, lined with cafes, galleries, and restored Ottoman-era buildings — the best spot for an evening stroll and people-watching.
The Siq
A narrow, 1.2km natural gorge with walls up to 80m high, the dramatic approach corridor to Petra — the anticipation as the Treasury's facade slowly reveals itself at the end is part of the experience.
The Treasury (Al-Khazneh)
Petra's most famous facade, carved directly into rose-red sandstone in the 1st century BC — instantly recognisable from Indiana Jones and the New Seven Wonders list.
The Monastery (Ad-Deir)
Even larger than the Treasury, reached by climbing roughly 800 rock-cut steps — fewer visitors make it this far, making it a quieter, equally spectacular payoff.
