Are
you looking for an adventure abroad? Look no further than Jordan, where your
next adventure awaits.
Jordan
is full of wonders, which many travelers are beginning to explore for
themselves. Start your journey with exploration of the ancient city of Petra,
or you can explore other adventurous opportunities rising in popularity
throughout the country of Jordan.
Explore the Dunes of Wadi
Rum
Take a camel ride to Wadi Rum, a protected desert wilderness in
southern Jordan. It has natural sandstone structures that are great for rock
climbing. Local Bedouin guides from the area are also available to assist you
in experiencing the best places to climb.
There
are plenty of other great ways to explore Wadi Rum, including its famous
4-Wheel Drive, ATV, and Off-Road Tours. If you prefer being in the air, see the
amazing view of Wadi Rum from above with a skydive over
the sand valley.
Canyoning is
another great adrenaline rush that can be found in Jordan, especially in the
popular river canyon of the Wadi Mujib. Climb up and wade through the canyon to
the heart of the Wadi Mujib where a waterfall awaits.
Here, you can abseil down the waterfall and
return through the natural water slides of the canyon.
If you’re looking for an even more extensive
water experience, head to the coastal city of Aqaba, where
you can find water sports of all types. Snorkel or scuba dive in the Gulf of
Aqaba (at any time of the year!). Embrace the coastal lifestyle of Aqaba with
windsurfing, water skiing, jet skiing, and sailing.
Hike the highs and lows of the beautiful
Jordan landscape on the The Jordan Trail, a hiking route
that is quickly growing in popularity. With 400-miles of hiking path to choose
from, you can start north at the beginning in Umm Qais and end in the south at
the Dead Sea.
The entire trail can take about 40 days to
travel, but if a shorter trail is your desire, start from any of the designated
eight regions in between.
Explore Jordan after sunset with a candle lit
tour of Petra by night or camp under the stars of Wadi
Rum. If luxury camping is more your style, you can find glamping in Wadi Rum as
well.
No journey to Jordan is complete without a
trip to the Dead Sea! End your Jordan experience with a relaxing float in the
Dead Sea, the lowest place on Earth, as the sun sets over the sandstone
mountains of the horizon.
There is something for everyone in the
beautiful country of Jordan. Whether you are looking for an adrenaline rush, or
simply want to explore the countryside, you are sure to find
something to cross off your bucket list there.
