WHY?

“Jordan has so much to offer. Whether you’re visiting Jerash, one of the most beautiful Roman ruins in the world, or exploring Amman, the capital city with a dope nightlife, the options are endless. There’s also the ancient city of Petra (one of the New 7 Wonders of the World), the Red Sea, and the Dead Sea.”

WHERE TO STAY:

“I personally love the W Amman, which is modern and opened relatively recently.”

WHAT TO DO:

1. “Visit Petra, one of the New 7 Wonders of the World. Known as the Rose-Red City, it’s an ancient sandstone city dating back to 3rd century BC that features palaces and temples carved from the soft stone cliffs."

2. “Float in the Dead Sea, and snorkel in the Red Sea. The latter’s water is crystal-clear, there are amazing coral formations, and you’ll see abundant marine life including brightly colored fish.”

3. “Go on a wine tour. It’s a lesser known fact that Jordan actually produces wine, so I definitely recommend this. Jordan River Wines is one of my favorites and they make a great Cab—a vineyard tour is highly recommended or a visit to their tasting room in Amman.”

HOW TO GET THERE:.

“Fly from basically any major city across the world.”

INSIDER TIP:

“Petra is a hike! Do not go in the summer since it’s way too hot. Go glamping at the Bubble Luxotel Petra. You’ll get to experience sleeping under the stars and a panoramic view of the Petra Mountains. The sunset is spectacular! Petra by night is a beautiful setting that most people don’t know about."

WHAT TO WEAR:

“It’s a Muslim country so I recommend being respectful in your attire. It’s generally hot so linen dresses and tops, and breezy wide-leg pants are best. I recommend one-piece swimsuits instead of bikinis if you plan to go swimming.”
