Jordan is an extraordinary Arab country and one of the gems of the Middle East. This country has the best combo of beautiful landscapes, well-preserved ruins, extremely friendly locals and a rich history and culture.
The most popular tourist attraction and a must-visit during all Jordan tours is definitely Petra, but there are many other places worth seeing. If you ask me, some cool activities worth adding to your Jordan itinerary include roaming the Wadi Rum desert, a visit to Amman and floating in the Dead Sea.
