Things to do while visiting Jordan, the middle east

Jordan has delighted visitors for centuries with its World Heritage Sites, friendly towns, and inspiring desert landscapes. Jordan has a tradition of welcoming visitors: camel caravans plied the legendary King’s Highway transporting frankincense in exchange for spices while Nabataean tradesmen, Roman legionnaires, Muslim armies, and zealous Crusaders all passed through the land, leaving behind impressive monuments. These monuments, including Roman amphitheaters, Crusader castles and Christian mosaics, have fascinated subsequent travelers in search of antiquity and the origins of faith. The tradition of hospitality to visitors remains to this day.

HERE’S A LIST OF SOME OF MY FAVOURITE THINGS TO DO IN JORDAN:

Helicopter Adventure: Hop on a helicopter and enjoy a spectacular aerial tour that’s made for the movies! This experience features:
Sightseeing, and Ariel Photography as one-of-a-kind services in Jordan, with the aim to provide clients with unforgettable experience and quality services with high level of professionalism and standards.

Camel Safari: Ride a camel like a true Bedouin as you embark on a journey across the Wadi Rum desert. What’s in store for you: A traditional camel journey across the desert, a  photo stop in the desert.

Turkish bath: A visit to a Hammam, a Turkish bath, is a good way to discover more about the local culture. A Hammam is an Ottoman-style communal bathhouse, highly popular throughout Jordan and the region since Roman times. The baths consist of three main rooms: a Frigidarium, Tepidarium and Calidarium – the cold, warm and hot rooms, respectively. Enjoy a scrub, a massage, and an overall soothing environment for an invigorating experience for both mind and body.

Diving & snorkeling in the red sea: due to its ideal water temperatures and shallow waters, The Red Sea is one of the world’s premier locations for diving. Aqaba has multiple dive sites that provide surreal experiences of submerged boats, a tank, and even a Hercules C103 airplane.

Petra By Night Show: to visit Petra during daylight is awe-inspiring; to experience it at night by the light of 1,800 candles is truly out-of-this-world! Walk through the Siq to the Treasury (Al-Khazneh) following a candle-lit path and enjoy the haunting music of the Bedouins at the Treasury. Tours start at 8.30pm and finish at 10.00pm every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. Allow yourself plenty of time to walk through the Siq.
