Sights not to miss in Jordan

Archaeological treasures, biblical cities and impressive monuments are an irresistible draw.

• One of the most impressive archaeological sites in the world, Petra, the lost city of the Nabataeans, has been in the middle of the desert for 2,000 years. A very narrow gorge 800 metres long marks the entrance to the city. The miracle of Petra and its carved treasury Al Khazneh are revealed as you reach the end.
• At first glance, Amman, the capital of Jordan, may appear rather colourless, but nevertheless hides its own secrets: restaurants with very eclectic flavours, colourful bazaars and monuments that are worth taking note of. As you stroll around the city, visit the citadel in the centre of the city and the impressive Roman theatre.
• About 50 km north of Amman, near the border with Syria, is an archaeological gem. Jerash, the ancient Roman Antioch of the 3rd century BC, will astound visitors with its incredibly well-preserved archaeological site: The walls, the imposing Hadrian's Arch and the enormous oval forum with the fine colonnade will remind you of Saint Peter's Square in Rome.

Explore Jordan

Landscapes like movie sets will stir your desire for adventure, exploration and extreme sports!

• The ultimate desert fantasy: soft, red sand, surrealistic granite sculptures and craggy rocks. This is Wadi Rum desert, a place of austere beauty in southern Jordan listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You can enjoy the location on safari with 4X4 vehicles or by camel accompanied by Bedouin guides. The area is ideal for trekking, horse-riding and rock-climbing.
• Find yourself 411 metres below sea level at the lowest elevation on land. Try out the dense air and dive into water in which it is impossible to sink. The Dead Sea fascinates visitors with its strange and extreme conditions and the effortless floating on the water due to the unusually high salinity. Bathing there is considered therapeutic.
• A unique coastal city in Jordan and an elegant resort, Aqaba is one of the most popular destinations in the country thanks to the warm waters of the Red Sea and the marvellous opportunities for scuba diving available in the area.

Fascinating, historic, wild but also friendly, Jordan is a destination you can visit year-round. However, it would be a good idea to avoid the very hot months of summer. Book cheap flights on www.aegeanair.com and learn about a country with a mysterious appeal.
