It’s been my dream of mine to go to Petra for so long and finally at the end of 2024 I made it! It’s truly a stunning and amazing place to visit. I would recommend getting to the park early when it opens as there were very few other people around at that time. There’s so much to see and I really recommend taking the hike up to the ‘Monastery’, it’s quite a difficult hike but if you’re physically able to do it, it’s well worth it! #petra #wadi-musa #jordan

The trip in Jordan was probably one of my favourite ones. Such a welcoming and fascinating country offering unforgettable experiences and good food. It is very easy to explore by car. Each road trip should definitely include these stops: - Amman, the capital with its markets, restaurants and museums 🇯🇴 - Jerash, Roman ancient excavation site - Death Sea ⛱️ - Petra 🏜️ - Wadi Rum Desert 🐫🐪 (book a stay at a Beduins' camp!) And much more still to be added! #jordan #desert #trip #petra

Petra, the "Rose City," is a breathtaking archaeological marvel carved into the Jordanian desert. Its intricate sandstone facades, most famously the Treasury, are a testament to the Nabataean civilization's engineering prowess. The Siq, a narrow canyon leading to the city, adds to its mystique. As you wander through this ancient wonder, you'll feel transported back in time, surrounded by history and natural beauty. #asiatrip #jordan #travel #naturalwonders #petra

Amman, a captivating blend of ancient and modern, offers a unique travel experience. Explore the majestic Citadel, a hilltop fortress with breathtaking views of the city. Wander through the bustling souks, haggling for treasures amidst the vibrant colors and aromatic spices. Immerse yourself in the rich history at the Roman Theater, a well-preserved relic of the past. As the sun sets, stroll along Rainbow Street, a lively hub of cafes, art galleries, and boutique shops. Amman's warm hospitality and diverse cultural scene make it an unforgettable destination. #asiatrip #jordan #asia #naturalwonders

If you are heading to Jordan, a visit to the Dead Sea is an absolute must. I recently spend a day soaking in its healing waters and relaxing at the hotel O Beach Hotel & Resort, and it was one of my highlights of the trip! 💦 Dead Sea Vibes: Started the day floating effortlessly in the Dea Sea - it’s like nothing else in Earth! Don’t forget to slather yourself in mineral-rich mud for the ultimate natural spa treatment #deadsea - Pro tip: avoid getting water in your eyes, it’s too salty! I highly recommend to cover yourself in the mud and let it dry for the ultimate detox before rinsing off in the salty water! 🏨 O Beach Hotel & Resort: After soaking in the Dead Sea, I headed to the hotel for some pool time with panoramic Dead Sea Views! It was the perfect spot to relax and unwind after a day of adventure. The hotel hs direct acess to the Dead Sea and we had another bath in the afternoon! The room was very spacious and comfortable, with a private balcony overlooking the water. The resort also offer a day pass if you are not staying overnight! 🌅 The sunset there was unreal, so definitely a must! #sunset 🥙 Dinner with a View: Dinner was a treat - fresh local cuisine with the most breathtaking view. Watching the sun dip below the horizon while sipping a cold drink! Just magic #deliciousfood #localfood Travel tips: - Stay hydrated: The Dead Sea can be drying. We went in September and it was still very hot. - Time your visit: Go early or late in the day for cooler temperatures. - Avoid shaving: If you have recently shaved, the salty water can sting quite a bit, so try ti avoid it. - Don’t miss the sunset! A perfect blend of adventure. Truly recommended! #jordan #Traveljordan #FloatingInTheDeadSea #adventure #sunsetview

Petra is an ancient city in Jordan and one of the New 7 Wonders of the World. It is known for the magnificent rock-cut architecture and unique water conduit system, Petra is also known as the "Rose City" due to its distinctive pink sandstone cliffs. Definitely a check off my bucket list. Getting there - I took a bus/ coach from Amman to Petra early in the morning. Highlights / Must-Sees - I went to Petra for 2 days straight to see majority of the sites in this ancient city. There are multiple routes and do note that trekking is required for many of the sites higher up the cliffs. 1. Treasury Highlights - This is the first majestic structure you will see upon entering Petra. My breath stopped for a moment when I first walked in. Known for its elaborate Hellenistic architecture carved into rose-red sandstone, the intricate facades and stunning columns reflects the skills and artistry of the Nabataean people. 2. Monastery Highlights - This is quite a hike up but totally worth it. It stands about 50m high and has a grand facade with intricate carvings. From monastery area, you can get breathtaking views of surrounding landscape 3. Royal Tombs Highlights - This is a series of rock-cut burial sites carved into the cliffs. This shows us the architectural skills of the Nabateans. 4. Colonnaded Street Highlights - In this stretch, you can see impressive columns and this place served as the commercial hub in the ancient city. #ancientcities #awesomepic #100waysoftravel #travellerswonderland #petra #jordan

Jordan! Wow, it was an unforgettable experience, full of ancient history, vibrant culture, and natural beauty. Amman, the capital, perfectly blends old and new. The Roman Theatre, standing in the heart of the city, was a glimpse into Jordan’s rich past, while the Amman Citadel offered sweeping views of the city, with ancient ruins that speak to centuries of history. Walking through the bustling streets, visiting local markets, and interacting with friendly locals gave me a true sense of the city’s character. The modern side of Amman, with its lively cafes, restaurants, and galleries, added to the dynamic atmosphere. One of the highlights of the trip was visiting the Dead Sea, a destination unlike any other. Floating in the Dead Sea’s buoyant waters was an extraordinary experience – the sensation of weightlessness is something you have to feel to believe. The mineral-rich waters and therapeutic mud are renowned for their health benefits, and after covering myself in the famous Dead Sea mud, my skin felt incredibly rejuvenated. The stunning, otherworldly landscape of the Dead Sea, with its sparkling salt formations and the surrounding mountains, created a serene and almost magical atmosphere. Jordan, with its fascinating history in Amman and the natural marvel of the Dead Sea, offers a perfect blend of cultural exploration and relaxation. From the ancient ruins to the unique experience of floating in the lowest point on earth, this trip was a remarkable journey through one of the Middle East's most captivating destinations. I left with unforgettable memories and a deep appreciation for Jordan's rich heritage and natural beauty. #summerdestinations #mytravelhacks #historicallandmarks #localguides #jordan #deadsea #amman

#Jordan #visitjordan #explorepetra #petrajordan #petra #jordantrip A visit to Petra is surely the highlight of a trip to Jordan . I spent the entire day there , and regretted not booking a 2 night stay in Petra , as the site is enormous, and very worthy of the time spent exploring the ancient city . Founded by the Nabataean civilization, Petra is known as the Rose city. Apart from the world famous Treasury and Monastery , be sure to hire a guide to the Tombs and the amphitheater . Definitely a bucketlist destination !

One of the seven wonders of the modern world, the ancient city of Petra is so special. Located deep in the Jordanian desert, Petra is an ancient stone city carved from pink sandstone. Petra was lost for centuries and was rediscovered in 1812. This is what prompted historians to call it the Lost City. What's so special about this ancient arceological wonder dating back to the 4th century BC? Petra is over 2,000 years old Petra is an ancient city dating back to the 4th century BC. "This makes it one of the oldest surviving cities in the world," wrote Rossie Lesso on The Collector page. Nicknamed the Rose City, Petra was founded by the Nabateans, an ancient Arab people who formed a cultural center there. The reason is, Petra is located along the busiest and most important ancient trade route, between the Red Sea and the Dead Sea. Petra is also at the crossroads of routes between Arabia, Egypt, and Syria-Phoenesia. It is no wonder that Petra was once an important stopover for foreign traders. They paid for water and shelter in the middle of the desert. "This means that Petra was rich and prosperous in its time," Lesso added. Petra is carved from rock The ancient city of Petra is half carved and half built from local sandstone. The sand comes in shades of red, white and pink. The city even takes its name from the material it is made from - derived from the Greek word 'petros' meaning stone. This impressive architectural feat displays a variety of architectural styles. From Nabatean stone carvings to Greco-Roman and Hellenistic temples. 📍Address:#petra #jordan #amman 📍Address:

I recommend a road trip in Jordan. It was a fresh and moving experience. The scenery is spectacular everywhere, and the people are friendly, often greeting with 'Hello'. I've grown fond of Jordan. I would love to go again if I have the chance. Life's sunset at the Dead Sea is a bonus. Monastery in Petra Al-Khazneh in Petra Wadi Rum

Visiting Jerash in Jordan is like stepping back in time to the days of the Roman Empire. This ancient city, often referred to as the "Pompeii of the East," boasts remarkably preserved ruins that offer a glimpse into its glorious past. As you wander through the sprawling archaeological site, you'll encounter imposing colonnaded streets, well-preserved theaters, grand temples, and intricate mosaics. The highlight is the Oval Plaza, a vast open space surrounded by towering columns, where chariot races and other events once took place. Jerash's rich history comes alive as you explore its intricate architecture and imagine life in ancient times. Don't miss the opportunity to witness the breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. It's a journey through history that will leave you in awe of Jordan's cultural heritage. #trip #travel #Jordan #history #culture #Jerash

2023 was a beautiful year! I had the opportunity to visit many new places. In January I went to Jordan. While I was there, I had the opportunity to visit Petra, one of the seven wonders of the modern world. January being a non-high season period, there were few people and it was beautiful. Petra is definitely a magical place to see at least once in a lifetime. In April instead I had the opportunity to go to Beijing. Here too I saw another wonder of the modern world, The Great Wall of China. But the thing that left me most shocked was the Terracotta army which is located in the city of Xi'An. I hope to have other opportunities to travel in 2024 as I had in 2023. The destinations I would like to visit this year are New Zealand and French Polynesia…so Oceania is my next goal 🔜✈️ #2024wish #mytravelhacks #freehotelstay #historicallandmarks #localguides #Jordan #Petra #sevenwondersoftheworld #Beijing #xian #newzeland #frenchpolynesia

Petra is located between the Red Sea and the Dead Sea. The entire ancient city is covered with roses and is beautiful. Therefore, it is known as the "City of Roses" and is one of the new seven wonders of the world🌹 A small regret is not having time to visit the monastery this time, it is strongly recommended that you reserve at least a whole day or even two days to visit the ancient city of Petra 😉 1. Snake Road (Sick Canyon) A narrow passage 1.2 kilometers long, flanked by auburn rocks, is dazzling 2. Temple of Kazni One of the new seven wonders of the world, and the location of the movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark" hotel: Mövenpick Nabatean Castle Address: Kings Highway, Queen Rania St, Wadi Musa 71811 Jordan Although it is a little distance from the ancient city, the hotel helped us upgrade the room, spacious and comfortable, the room can already view the mountains and canyons, superb🤩 #jordan #petra #Siq #treasury #monastery #jordan #ancient city #tourism #middle east

Petra is located in Wadi Musa, Jordan and you’re able to access the archeological site of Petra from Wadi Musa, access to Wadi Musa is via Coach, Driving or Taxi from what I am aware. Entrances fees into Petra can vary depending on how many days you’re planning to visit however I recommend getting ‘The Jordan Pass’ which allows you access into Petra and in my case being from the UK covered Visa costs as well as access to other sites across the country of Jordan for example in Amman. The entrance to Petra begins with the huge crevasse that is most known in Western Culture from the Indiana Jones movie, this portion of Petra lasts for 20 to 30 minutes and is magically with every bend being as unique as the previous alongside this the pure size of crevasse really has you in awe. Once you reach the end of the crevasse you’re met with The Treasury, Petra’s most famous landmark and most photographed, the huge building carved into the hillside is truly spectacular and makes you consider what is possible and achievable. Whilst visiting Petra you’re able to travel via Golf Cart, Horse, Donkey or Camel for various prices however in my instance I opted to just walk. You’re able to travel Petra at your own pace and along the way you have plenty of locations offering affordable food, drinks and souvenirs. #jordan #petra #TheTreasury #middleeast #Wadi-Musa #timetotravel

#timetotravel Temple street can be reached by Jordan MTR station Exit A, just a few blocks away, the tall red entrance gate will be standing on the right, straight into the road where shops and restaurants are, after passing the cross road, arrays of stalls selling all kinds of things there, bargaining is essential, starting from 5:00-6:00 and closing from 10:00 some until midnight. There are plenty of street food, stores and restaurants around to sit down and sip cold beer and try a few dishes. #templesstreet #Yaumatei #jordan #hongkong #fleemarket #yuppijeinhk2023 #本地遊 #passionpassport #tripblazers #urbanexplorer #mytripvlog

We ended our trip in Egypt and flew right into Amman, and straight off from the plane we were driven to Jerash city, where we had a full on excursion around the ancient city. We were amazed by how the history of ancient nations intertwined when we saw historical architecture that were similar to the ones we saw in Rome, and how thriving it must have been back in the days dated back to thousands of years ago. It was a well worthy day trip and we have learned so much, basically a walking history book. If you happen to be in Amman and have some free time, I’d definitely recommend paying this city a visit since it’s only an hour away from the capital. #Jerash #jordan #archaeology #Romanhistory #ancientlandmark #unesco

Petra has become increasingly popular nowadays… and its worth the hype! Get the Jordan pass and Spend 2 days there at least! With only 2 days in Petra, Day 1: Main Trail: Monastery, Treasury, and Royal Tombs. Visit the Petra Museum for context. Explore the Roman Theater and Colonnaded Street. Book a night tour to see Petra by candlelight. Stay in a cave hotel for a unique experience.

This post breaks-down the cost of my trip to Jordan, the purpose of this post is to provide an insight into what is possible and how you can go on lifetime adventures for less than we’re expected to believe. Beginning with the main headline overall it cost £275 to take a 5 day trip to Jordan and visit one of the world wonders Petra. This cost includes return flights, hotels, visa and tickets to Petra. Below I am going to break down the costs and the options available to save money and have a fantastic experience rich trip. Flights cost £75 and were booked around 10 days in Advance at the beginning of January from Liverpool. The flight itinerary involved 3 stops in total, a small layover 2 hour layover in Budapest, 12 hours in Venice and 10 hours in Brussels. The Venice layover in particular I utilised to get a €10 return ticket from the airport to the city centre and explored the beautiful city. Moving onto Hotels Jordan offers a wide variety of hotels at varying levels like most countries in the world. In my case I opted for budget rooms in the capital city of Amman and one with a nice view in Wadi-Musa the town that is situated next to Petra. For me personally travelling I opt for the cheaper rooms as I have itineraries planned that involve me constantly being on that go resulting in the hotel room just being a quick resting and storage location. In Wadi-Musa I was able to get a room with a beautiful view and private bathroom for 19JOD (Jordanian Dinar) which is around £20-£21. Making the cost of Hotels very affordable compared to Europe and the United Kingdom in particular. When choosing hotels in Amman my recommendation would be to consider your itinerary first, if you plan to visit a lot of the sites you can find a cheap room located in the old part of Amman for 12-20JOD. I would personally recommend this as the markets and restaurants of a night time in this part of Amman are authentic and special in my opinion. The additional bonus to this is you will be within 20 minutes walk of all major old sites within Amman. The total cost for Tickets and Visas for my trip to Jordan was 75JOD (£83.90), included in this price is a tourist visa, two day access to Petra as well as access to other sites all over Jordan included Amman. The process is easy and a government run scheme, this gave me confidence that the price was reasonable. In terms of the visa aspects of the pass you do this process by printing off a ticket with a barcode provided via email and show it at Airport customs. For Petra the process is going to a separate usually shorter ticket line at the entrance and picking up your tickets taking less than two minutes. To conclude I hope this information has helped show and provide some tips so help anyone visit the majestic country of Jordan, you will not regret it! #travelguide #jordan #solotravel

Photos from my recent trip to Amman, Jordan. The city wakes up at night and the old town area near The Citadel and Temple of Hercules, which are both worth the visit especially during sunset and sunrise! During the night you can visit a lot of markets and restaurants that allows you to immerse yourself in Jordanian Culture. Access to the temple and citadel is simple and there is a variety of ways up by walking however there is also a main entrance where you can park. To access The Amphitheater you have to purchase a ticket for a small price or it is included in The Jordan Pass. I would advise taking at least a couple days when visiting Jordan to experience Amman, as the capital city it is great location to visit and I hope this post helps convince you! #amman #templeofhercules #jordan

When visiting Petra The Monastery is located at the opposite end of the archaeological site from the entrance and main attraction, to get to the monastery you must walk for around an hour with 30/40 of those minutes being uphill, along the way there is opportunities to stop and upon getting to the top you’re treated to an affordable shop considering the location, seating locations and an option to continue to see a view of the mountain range that is the backdrop to Petra. One thing you won’t miss when getting to the monastery is the huge sign saying “Best View in Petra” hung across a mountain face that takes you to an view that holds up to the signs claim, at the top their is another shop that closes around sundown. Definitely worth the extra effort and hike to go and see. In the rest of the photos you can see some of the lesser known gems within the site of Petra which showcases the need to spend at-least a day exploring the entire site, you are able to select various routes and go at your own pace within Petra or there are plenty of guides available. #petra #jordan

Jordan 📍the Citadel When thinking of where you should start exploring Amman the Citadel is the perfect starting point. The Citadel Amman 📍 The second time visiting this beautiful country that never ceases to amaze me! As the highest point in Amman, the Citadel is also the best place to take in sweeping views of the entire city ✨Entrance to the Amman Citadel is 2JD (2.82 USD) or free with the Jordan Pass. ✨It is open from 8 am until 7 pm on Saturdays to Thursdays between April and September and until 4 pm between October and March ✨It is a 20min walk distance from downtown, however, you can take a taxi for $3 dollars ✨ You can go alone or in a group, I felt really safe!
