Have a leisure holiday in the heart of Jordan


A safe, stable and marvelous location for holidaying, Jordan is most popular in the global world as being home to Petra, the incredibly amazing Nabataean city from the 6 century (BC) that was recently voted among the Top 7 new wonders of the world. An ‘’almost landlocked’’ country which is also home to the lowest point on earth, the Dead Sea, Jordan is at its most beautiful during spring and autumn.

Jordan is a treasure of ruins with the roman ones from the 1-3 century located in Jerash, Nabataean ruins of the 6th century located in Petra, etc. While the desert castles and architectural ruins will satisfy the history lover and any visitor’s curiosity, Jordan’s true holidaying spirit lies in its sparkling green and blue beaches of Aqaba, the only port city. Situated in the south of the country, Aqaba offers a package wider than the beaches with its beautiful Heritage museums, old fort and city.  You can even go scuba diving in Aqaba and enjoy the marvels lying underneath the water. Jordan tours from Edmonton can be enjoyed within just a few days as tourists can visit Petra and Jerash on the same day, giving 5-6 hours to each. Getting a local guide to travel the ruins and the local market areas is the best as they help in understanding the local history, language and assist in appropriate shopping.

Jerash has a beautiful souq located outside the park where souvenirs can be bought for bargained prices. The ancient ruined roman city also has Hadrian’s Arch, the southern gate, Forum which is an oval shaped plaza, Agora, the market place of the city, Hippodrome, the roman era stadium, the temple of Artemis, a towering structure dedicated to the famed Greek deity, etc.  Jordan tours from Edmonton can be extended to 3-5 days but spending 2-3 days in Jordan would be sufficient for anyone looking for a change of climate, scenery, culture and everything else.

Dana Nature Reserve is another amazing location for hikers who enjoy the nature as the reserve offers hiking in Great Rift’s offshoot. The most underrated and least commercially spoiled way of enjoying Jordan in all its glory is through the Wadi Rum tents where you can spend a beautiful, desert night under the sparkling stars. Visiting the St. George’s Church for the Mosaic Map of the region is a must do for all as it unravels the Madaba history in a way that no other does.

Tourists can find easy, luxury as well as budget accommodation in Amman along with variety of eating out spots that offer local as well as interntional styles of food. Ecopark and meditation camp trips can also be arranged for groups of travelers who are seeking a specific type of relaxing holiday. So, if you are planning on visiting Petra and then spending some time under the desert sky, staying at a tribal cultural camp will serve you right. In fact, such a camp will also help you in understanding and enjoying the local cultures and entertainment.
