Red Rocks And Historic Highs On Jordan Vacation Packages
The rose-hued city of Petra, capital of the Nabataean Empire, is rightfully the frontrunner of all Jordan vacation packages. An archaeological wonder deep within the rugged desert canyons of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Petra blends ancient eastern traditions with Hellenistic architecture. Walk through the Siq, a narrow gorge leading to the Treasury (Al Khazneh)—a piece of art cut into the red sandstone mountain. The amphitheater, the royal tombs carved into cliffs, the monastery and lookout point atop the mountain—there are so many trails to explore. Steer your journey along the best paths and tracks by getting an Enchanting Travels expert on board. Rest assured we’ll make excellent choices to build a brilliant travel plan for you.
The Citadel looms above the capital Amman, offering sweeping views of old souqs and modern high-rises. Ruins of a Byzantine church, the Roman Temple of Hercules, and Umayyad Palace reveal the varied cultural influences at the heart of Jordan. Visit the blue-domed King Abdullah Mosque, Jordan Museum, the old city and new malls. End at Rainbow Street to sample Jordanian specialties like mansaf and manakish at a family-run restaurant.
Rippled dunes greet you at Wadi Rum (Valley of the Moon), with its canyons, arches, and rock bridges, all best explored with a knowledgeable local guide. March to May are some of the best months to visit Jordan, when you can spend the night at a luxury desert camp and experience this pristine wilderness and spectacular starry skies.
When it’s time to unwind, head to Aqaba on the Red Sea or the Dead Sea. Jordan’s port city Aqaba is popular for soaking in the sun and experiencing its coral reef via glass-bottom boat rides, snorkeling, and diving. The city has several must-sees, including Mamluk Castle and Sharif Al Hussein Bin Ali Mosque.
The Dead Sea, actually a 234-sq-mile landlocked salt lake, is the lowest spot on Earth at 1,400 feet below sea level. Float in its buoyant, highly saline and mineral-rich waters and slather on healing mud before watching the glorious orange sun dip below the horizon. Follow that with restorative therapies at a luxurious spa resort where pampering guests is the norm.
Nearby is an important Christian pilgrimage destination, the Baptism Site “Bethany Beyond the Jordan” on the east bank of the Jordan River. The holy spot is considered the original location where Jesus Christ was baptized by John the Baptist.
