Jordan is a fabulous holiday destination with a great deal of variety. The country has a lot on offer, including historical and biblical sites, wonderful desert landscapes, momentous relics and friendly people.
Jordan seems to be steeped in history; the ancient City of Petra, carved out of pale pink sandstone cliffs by the nomadic Nabataeans Arabs, is the most famous attraction in the country. There are ancient churches and thousands of other archaeological sites. But, Jordan is not just about historical sites; tourists here can enjoy loads more. Go scuba diving in the Red Sea, or visit the Dead Sea for a natural health spa. You can even have a glimpse of the traditional life at a Bedouin settlement at Wadi Rum, a natural and cultural site. Given the small size of the country, a 10 day holiday in Jordan is almost enough for a comprehensive tour with many of the nation’s highlights.
