8 sites you must see in Jordan

1. Petra. 
Petra, the bedazzling rose-city, unfolds many treasures as old as time. While walking the narrow, rosy stone path, Siq will forcibly find itself to your to-do list.
Surprisingly, the rose-city has much more to offer, and tribute must be paid to Petra‘s most iconic monument, Al-Khazheh or the Treasury. This signature jaw-dropping sight will meet you the moment you finish walking through the 1200-meter Al-Siq. 
2. Wadi Rum.
First in Lawrence of Arabia, then in The Martian, the famous red desert of Wadi Rum is unconventionally becoming a Hollywood star. 
3. Colonnaded Street, Jerash.
The ancient city of Jerash beholds numerous Roman attractions; Colonnaded Street serves as the most known and celebrated. Still maintaining its original stone paving, the Cordo was once the focal point of the ancient city. 
4. Ajlun Castle, Ajlun.
Ajlun is the city of natural and historical fusion, where its timeless historical fortress and its rare wildlife can be appreciated. Ajlun Castle dominates a giant hilltop, which back in the day took benefit of its position as protector of the commercial trade routes passing by to Syria. 
5. Aqaba.
This is Jordan’s only port to the Red Sea and can be utilized with water activities like scuba diving, snorkeling, boat trips, jet-skiing, and just enjoying the sea air. 
6. The Dead Sea.
The Dead Sea is the lowest point of dry land. Known for its highly salty waters, it will lift you easily without the fear of drowning or attempts to swim. Visitors of both local and international nationalities seek the Dead Sea for its mineral-rich mud, known for its therapeutical and cosmetic miracles. This mud is being sold for mind-blowing prices among imported goods, and it might not even contain the real ingredients. Don’t get it in your eyes.
7. Mount Nebo, Madaba.
Mentioned in ancient religious tradition as the mountain from which Moses saw the Promised Land, Mount Nebo is an elevated ridge from Madaba city overshadowing the sacred land of Palestine and the Dead Sea. Search for Moses’ staff just at the end of the last staircase for the perfect view. 
8. Roman Theater, Amman.
The most famous landmark in Amman is the Roman Theater, located in the busy downtown area. This 6000-seat theater was built by the Romans in the 2nd century and is still preserved.

WadiRum, Jordan

WadiRum, Jordan A journey to Wadi Rum is a journey to another world. A vast, silent place, timeless and starkly beautiful... Wadi Rum is one of Jordan's main tourist attractions being one of the most stunning desertscape in the World, lying 320 km (199 miles) southwest of Amman, 120 km (75 miles) south of Petra, and only 68 km (42 miles) north of Aqaba. Uniquely shaped massive mountains rise vertically out of the pink desert sand, which separates one dark mass from another in a magnificent desert scenery of strange breathtaking beauty, with towering cliffs of weathered stone.. The faces of the sheer rock cliffs have been eroded by the wind into faces of men, animals, and monsters. Wadi Rum is probably best known because of its connection with the enigmatic British officer T.E. Lawrence, who was based here during the Great Arab Revolt of 1917-18, and as the setting for the film that carried his name "Lawrence of Arabia". Everywhere in this moonscape place ar...

Qasr Kharana

Qasr Kharana Located in the middle of a vast, treeless plain, this imposing thick-walled structure was the most likely inspiration for the ‘desert castle’ moniker and is arguably the most photogenic of all the desert castles. There is controversy about its function and purpose, but this important Umayyad structure remains an interesting sight for visitors, of the main Azraq–Amman road.  Although it clearly isn’t a castle, Kharana was a vital building for the Umayyads as evidenced by its dramatic size and shape. Despite the fact that it has the appearance of a khan (caravanserai), Kharana wasn’t located on any major trade route, and there appears to be a total absence of structures for water storage. That just leaves the supposition that the building served as a meeting space for Damascus elite and local Bedouin. Named after the harra (surrounding gravel plains), Kharana lords imposingly over a harsh and barren moonscape that appears inhospitable for human habitation. Inside...
