Jordan Travel Guide

Petra, Wadi Rum's red desert, and the lowest point on Earth — Jordan is the Middle East's greatest journey.

About

Why Visit Jordan?

Jordan is a compact but extraordinary country that contains some of the ancient world's most remarkable treasures. The Nabataean city of Petra — carved directly into rose-red sandstone cliffs — is one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World and one of the most breathtaking sites on Earth. Wadi Rum's vast red desert was the filming location for The Martian and Lawrence of Arabia, and offers camel treks, Bedouin camps, and stargazing that rivals any location on the planet. The Dead Sea at -430m is the lowest point on Earth — float effortlessly in its hypersaline waters. Amman, the capital, is a sophisticated, modern Arab city built across seven hills. Jordan is one of the Middle East's most welcoming and stable countries, and Indian travellers will find it remarkably safe, rich, and accessible.
