KNOW MORE
Rock-cut facade, Petra, Jordan.
Amman, the capital of Jordan, is a modern city with numerous ancient ruins. Atop Jabal al-Qala’a hill, the historic Citadel includes the pillars of the Roman Temple of Hercules and the 8th-century Umayyad Palace complex, known for its grand dome. Built into a different downtown hillside, the Roman Theater is a 6,000-capacity, 2nd-century stone amphitheater offering occasional events.
Within the Citadel, the Jordan Archaeological Museum exhibits locally excavated artifacts including the Neolithic 'Ain Ghazal statues, among the world’s oldest. The Jordan Museum is dedicated to the nation’s heritage, while works from contemporary artists are shown at the National Gallery of Fine Arts. Another iconic site is the blue-domed King Abdullah I Mosque, featuring an ornate prayer hall. West of the city center, the Royal Automobile Museum showcases classic cars once owned by King Hussein. Popular out-of-town excursions include the Dead Sea and Jerash, with its large collection of Roman ruins.
.
BEST TIME TO VISIT:
Peak travel is Jun–Aug, during the dry, hot summer months. Winter (Dec–Feb) is cool and rainy. Key summer events include the Jerash Festival (Jul), when the nearby Roman ruins stage opera, folklore performances, and other arts events. The Al Balad Music Festival (Jul–Aug) showcases artists from across the Arab world.
DEAD SEA:
The Dead Sea – bordering Israel, the West Bank, and Jordan – is a salt lake whose banks are more than 400m below sea level, the lowest point on dry land. Its famously hypersaline water makes floating easy, and its mineral-rich black mud is used for therapeutic and cosmetic treatments at area resorts. The surrounding desert offers many oases and historic sites.
PETRA:
Petra is a famous archaeological site in Jordan's southwestern desert. Dating to around 300 B.C., it was the capital of the Nabatean Kingdom. Accessed via a narrow canyon called Al Siq, it contains tombs and temples carved into pink sandstone cliffs, earning its nickname, the "Rose City." Perhaps its most famous structure is 45m-high Al Khazneh, a temple with an ornate, Greek-style facade, and known as The Treasury.
WADI RUM:
Wadi Rum is a protected desert wilderness in southern Jordan. It features dramatic sandstone mountains like the many-domed Jebel Um Ishrin and natural arches such as Burdah Rock Bridge. Many prehistoric inscriptions and carvings line rocky caverns and steep chasms, such as Khazali Canyon. The natural watering hole of Lawrence’s Spring is named after British soldier Lawrence of Arabia, who allegedly washed there.
.
BEST TIME TO VISIT:
Most people choose to visit Jun–Aug as the area is mostly desert and has hot dry summers. The temperatures during winter or in the rainy months are cooler and more comfortable.
