Jordan Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia

Показать описание
Epic history, thundering landscapes and ancient artefacts await in Jordan. See why this special destination captured the hearts of all those involved in the crafting of this video.

From epic landscapes to monumental ruins, #Jordan allows us to reach out and touch the eternal and be at one with something far greater than ourselves.

The ancient Greeks knew Jordan’s capital, Amman, as Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love. Overlooking Amman is the Citadel, the city’s ancient core. Rising over the Citadel are the remaining pillars of the Temple of Hercules, a Roman temple that in its day dwarfed many in Ancient Rome.

From Amman, #journey north to Jerash, home to one of the largest concentrations of Roman ruins outside Italy. Then, continue north to Ajloun Castle, built to halt the Crusader armies as they rode down Jordan’s northern valley, hell-bent on Jerusalem.

Enter the gravel plains of the Eastern Desert and follow the Desert Castle Loop. For many, the highlight here is Qasr al-Azraq, where Lawrence of Arabia made his winter headquarters.

Travel south to Madaba, famed for the Madaba Map, one of the earliest depictions of the Holy Lands. Continue south along the Kings Highway, which once took Arabs to Mecca, and Israelites to the Promised Land.

Follow the hairpin road 1300 feet below sea level to the Dead Sea. Float in the saline waters and cover yourself in the same mineral-rich muds Cleopatra once enjoyed.

No visit to Jordan is complete without a visit to Petra. Emerge from the shadows of the Siq and gaze up at the Treasury, the greatest of all of Petra’s 500 tombs. Then continue south to explore the emptiness of Wadi Rum.

For now, we hope you enjoy watching this #travel #guide as much as we enjoyed making it.

Had an amazing week there, we heard "Welcome to Jordan" tens of times. Amazing scenery, amazing people, amazing food. The country is so safe, never felt threatened by anything, people were coming up to us asking how can they help us. The 2 days we spent in Petra and 2 days in Wadi Rum are definitely something I would never forget .

one of the things that i love about Expedia is that the narration is always done by someone from the country which is being featured... it gives the video the feeling of authenticity...

I lived in Jordan for over a year. This video barely scratched the surface of what is there to be seen. Definitely going to return for more adventures there, as soon as possible.

Proud visitor in 2019 and we were blown away by the history, the scenery, and even the aromas, food and people. Wonderful place, though I wouldn't stay longer than a week, I got homesick after a while.
