While many of its neighbours are rushing to reinvent themselves as destinations of the future, Jordan has held its authenticity close. With a timeless landscape of desert, mountains, and sea, as well as the fascinating archaeological city of Petra, who can blame it? Jordan offers a blend of history, adventure, luxury, and warm hospitality to create an experience unlike anywhere else. As one of the safest countries in the region, it’s also an easy choice whether you’re travelling as a couple, with family, or going solo. Of course, as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, Petra is among the biggest attractions Jordan holidays offer. Described by UNESCO as “one of the most precious cultural properties of man’s cultural heritage,” this ancient city, carved into the sandstone cliffs, opens a door 2,000 years into the past. Whatever you do, don’t forget to pack a camera for your holiday in Petra. Alternatively, visit the capital, Amman, where you can dive into the Gulf of Aqaba to snorkel or scuba in spectacular underwater seascapes, float serenely on the otherworldly waters of the Dead Sea, or stretch out on the beaches of Berenice.
