1.Petra
The spectacular sandstone city of Petra was built in the 3rd century BC which today is a World Heritage Site. An earthquake in 555 AD most likely caused the city’s demise, but thankfully many of Petra’s most impressive structures remain intact. It is a treasure trove of architectural surprises, hidden along hiking trails of various lengths and difficulties.Petra deserves two days to be seen properly. This ancient city is approached through the high-walledSiq, crack in the rock, torn apart by tectonic forces. You can catch breathtaking glimpses ahead of the most impressive of Petra’s sights, theTreasury, known locally as Al Khazneh. At the end of the trail, you will be in front of the Royal Tombs.
2.Dead Sea
Just a one-hour drive fromJerusalem, the Dead Sea is a place popular for few days relaxation. Tourists cover themselves in the mineral-rich mud and float in the salty waters at the beaches which line the shores of the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea known in Hebrew as Yam Ha-Melakh (the Sea of Salt) is the lowest point on earth, surrounded by the stunning landscape of the Negev Desert.
3.Wadi Rum
An adventurer’s paradise, Wadi Rum is a crown jewel of Jordan’s ancient desert. Explore the landscape from the back of a Jeep, ride a camel, or take a hike. More than just a sea of rolling dunes, this is made unique by the dramatic sandstone and basalt mountains protruding out of its sandy floor. You can also add some more adventurous activities to your agenda like rock climbing with a guide on ancient sandstone walls, or take in the sunrise from a hot air balloon. Staying overnight in Wadi Rum for at least one evening is highly recommended. Sleeping under the desert stars is unforgettable, and you’ll be treated to an immersive Bedouin experience.
