1. Petra
Petra is one of the world’s wonders and is the reason for a lot of tourism in Jordan. To understand the importance of this pre-historic city one has to go way back and look deep into the pages of history. Petra is secluded from the rest of the world and is located like a valley between the rugged mountains of Jordan’s countryside. This city is said to have been hidden from the world for many years and was only discovered by chance by some curious and inquisitive archeologists. The most incredible thing about this place are the waterways that are deemed to be too modern to have existed in the era that Petra belonged to. This place is a sight to behold for everyone and a treat for sore eyes for any fan of history.
2. The Dead Sea
One of the world’s most astonishing aspects when it comes to science is the dead sea. As the title already helps us understand the Dead Sea is stretched out on the lowest point that can be found on the Earth’s surface without any digging. The sea water here has more salt content than any other water body in the world which makes it practically uninhabitable for the fish. Another thing that is astonishing about this is the fact that you cannot drown in the Dead Sea no matter how hard you try to do so. There are no fish living or dead here no plants to help you wind your way around the deep sea. But it is still said that going deep sea diving here is a worthwhile experience.
3. Wadi Rum
The valley of water or Wadi Rum as the locals call it consists of centuries old river beds and huge areas of dry sandy desert combined together. This valley is located in the south of Jordan. The beauty of this place is a result of thousands of years of accumulation of dust and sand that has resulted in this amazing formation of rocks. Going here will definitely make you feel like you have entered the real life version of the Arabian Nights and you’ll just start looking around for a jinni to pop up in front of you.
