Top Reasons to Go to Jordan

Float in the Dead Sea: The extremely high levels of salinity make people so buoyant they bob along like a cork.

Visit Lawrence of Arabia's desert: Take a camel or 4WD-trek across the dunes in the afternoon, see the sunset of the rocky cliffs, then overnight in a Bedouin tent: it's unforgettable.

Tour Petra: Wander or clamber amid the awe-inspiring, 2000-year-old remains of this ancient city carved into the towering rose-red rocks.

Pamper Yourself: The combination of the welcoming hospitality and natural spa treatments that make use of local minerals, salts, and herbs make Jordanian spa and resort experiences extra special.

Snorkel or Scuba in the Red Sea: With some of the best coral reefs in the world, this is a diver's paradise; snorkelers won't be disappointed either.
