    Roman ruins, holy sites, and magnificent mosaics – oh my! As you've probably discovered in planning your Jordan trip so far, there are some incredible things to see in Jordan despite the country's small size. As almost everyone flies in and out of Amman as part of their Jordan itinerary, you'll undoubtedly spend 1-2 nights in the capital city before striking out for destinations further south like Wadi Rum or Aqaba. In any case, there's plenty to see and do in Amman – and even more in the surrounding region...

    How to Make the Most of One Day in Petra, Jordan

    April 26, 2022 / No Comments

    The Nabatean city of Petra has been drawing visitors since long before Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, UNESCO protection, or even achieving “New World Wonder” status. The Rose City, as it is also called, is one of the incredible feats of past human innovation and artistry, and it’s impossible to forget the impressiveness of the site once you’ve had a chance to visit it. While you can easily spend several days visiting Petra and hiking its many trails, most people only have one day in Petra during their Jordan itinerary – and maybe an evening and/or morning on either side of their stay. If your schedule only allows one…

    Sun City Camp Review: Stay in Jordan’s Original Martian Domes

    April 12, 2022 / No Comments

    There are few places on earth like Wadi Rum, the protected desert area in southern Jordan. It’s for this reason that you see it represented as other planets in so many films; Wadi Rum is truly otherworldly in its beauty. Since Wadi Rum is not a one-day destination, you’ll need accommodation for at least one night there during your Jordan itinerary. But how can you choose among the many options for Wadi Rum camps now available? In my opinion: go with one of the pioneers – Sun City Camp – which was one of the first large camps in Wadi Rum and pioneered the “Martian” domes you now see all over social…

    Some destinations beg for a long, leisurely visit; others can be enjoyed equally in a short time. Jordan is more of the former than the latter – but if you're short on time and want to visit Jordan, that's no reason to skip planning a trip! isit.

    Jordan is an incredible destination for culture – from its historic roots in the Bedouin people and the Roman empire to its modern place in the Middle East. This is expressed in many art forms, perhaps the most famously known of which is mosaics. There are a great number of mosaics in Jordan dating back to the Byzantine era (4th to 7th centuries), many of which can be visited easily as part of a normal Jordan itinerary...
