Well, I could make this a really short blog post. Yes, the Jordan Pass is a good deal. But you probably want to know why I think that, so I’m happy to explain why you should get one for your trip to Jordan.
Aqaba: Jordan’s only coastal city and gateway to the Red Sea. After a few days in the desert of Wadi Rum, I’m ready for beach and ocean time. But is Aqaba the idyllic coastal town I’m hoping for? I’ll share my honest experience and practical tips for visiting this port city.
Petra without masses of tourists? It sounds almost too good to be true, but it’s currently quieter than ever at Jordan’s most famous attraction. That means you have the Treasury almost to yourself, and there’s much more space to enjoy the world wonder. With the right approach, you can fully enjoy Petra, and taking the backdoor route via Little Petra is a smart move.
When you think of Jordan, what image comes to mind? Desert, sand, ancient stones, drought? Absolutely, but there are also beautiful oases full of greenery, flowers, and flowing streams. And that’s exactly what Wadi Bin Hammad has to offer. You can hike through this wadi alone or with a guide in about two hours.
The Wadi Rum desert is on plenty of bucket lists, but nobody tells you that you sometimes lie waiting an hour and a half for action because it’s too hot to do anything. With a snorer next to you. Or that your guide turns out to be more of a driver than a storyteller. But also nobody tells you how special it is to feed camels cookies along the road or to hear stories around the campfire in the evening about hunting and camel milk. So I’ll tell you!
