Site Highlights

Petra - The Pink City

Petra, the capital of the Nabataean Arabs is one of the most renowned archaeological sites in the world that is located 240 km south of the capital Amman and 120 km north of the Red Sea town of Aqaba. Petra is also one among the wonders of the world and hence is the most valuable treasure and ultimate tourist spot in Jordan. There is no precise information when Petra was built but it is known that the city began to prosper as the capital of the Nabataean Empire from the 1st century BC that grew rich through trade in frankincense, myrrh, and spices.

Little Petra – Siq Al-Barid

Little Petra is an archaeological site located in the north of Petra and the town of Wadi Musa in the Ma’an Governorate of Jordan. Just like Petra, Little Petra is also a Nabataean site which has buildings carved into the walls of the sandstone canyons. As the name suggests it is a much smaller place that consists of three wide open areas connected by a 450 meter i.e. 1,480 feet canyon. It is a part of the Petra Archaeological Park which can be accessed separately. It is also included in the inscription of Petra as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As it is free and less crowded, tourists often visit this place in conjunction with Petra.

Al-Shobak Castle

Al Shobak Castle, an early 12th century crusader castle is perched in a wild, remote landscape, on the side of a rocky, conical mountain that is 1,300 meter above sea level. Although it is not so well-preserved or visited like Karak Castle this isolated castle is worth a visit.

Wadi Rum – The Valley of the Moon

Wadi Rum is a valley that is cut into the sandstone and granite rock in southern Jordan 60 km to the east of Aqaba. It is the largest Wadi in Jordan. The term ‘Rum’ originates from an Aramaic root that means ‘high’ or ‘elevated’.

The Dead Sea

 The Dead Sea is located in the Jordan Valley which is a part of the Great Rift Valley that runs from East Africa to Turkey. The Dead Sea is the remains of a giant inland lake named Lake Lisan which was 200 kilometers long and about 200 meters deeper than that of the current level of the Dead Sea. As the Lake Lisan contracted, Lake Tiberias and the Dead Sea were left behind which are at 408 meters below sea level (and is the lowest point on the earth).

The sea contains about 20% of salt which is eight times the level of the world’s oceans. And this concentration contributes to the amazing buoyancy of the water and is a legacy of years of evaporation. The only life forms available in the Dead Sea are the eleven species of bacteria. As the water is rich in minerals, including calcium, magnesium, bromine, iodine, and bitumen, it provides various healing properties that help in alleviating or easing allergies, skin rashes, bronchial irritations or glandular conditions. Tourists from all over the world come here to ease or cure their conditions at the medical treatment centers at the Dead Sea. And even people who feel stressed and bored can enjoy the high quality spas in the area. Due to the depth of this location the climate and quality of sunshine in the Dead Sea area is highly beneficial and the salts and mud of Dead are well known for their beneficial properties.
