Visit the Iraq Al Amir Women's Centre

Make a difference at the Iraq Al Amir Women’s Co-op, a community of women who aim to preserve their heritage and provide jobs through their handicrafts. You’ll learn first-hand how they make notebooks from recycled paper and soap from olive oil. You’ll even get to try making your own before enjoying a home cooked meal prepared by the women.
Stroll through the Greco-Roman city at Jerash

Discover the ancient city of Jerash, once an important stop on the incense and spice trade route to the Mediterranean. It was also a favorite city of the Roman emperor Hadrian, and you can explore its towering Corinthian columns of the Temple of Artemis, 2nd-century Hadrian’s Arch and the almost intact city walls.
Be amazed by the unique ancient city at Petra

Marvel at this archaeological wonder, with rose-red facades carved into the sheer rock face over 2,000 years ago by the Nabataean people. It was one of the world’s first cities and today is one of the Seven Wonders of the World. We’ll begin our exploration through the iconic Siq, with cliffs soaring 80 meters high.
View the Roman amphitheater and Citadel in Amman

Join our Local Specialists for a tour of Amman to soak up its ancient treasures. We’ll visit the remarkable Roman amphitheater, likely built in the 2nd century AD, with a massive seating capacity of 6,000.

Admire the mosaic map of the Holy Land at Madaba

We’ll journey to Mount Nebo, where Moses is buried, and see the incredible Madaba Mosaic Map that covers the floor in the Greek Orthodox Church of Saint George. The Madaba Map depicts the Middle East, and you’ll see the oldest surviving cartographic depiction of the Holy Land and Jerusalem.

The Jordan Museum

Located in Amman, the Jordan Museum is one of the best museums in the Middle East. It houses the country’s most significant archaeological treasures, including remains of Petra, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the ‘Ain Ghazal statues which date back to 7,500 BC and are the oldest-known human statues.
Jordan Folklore Museum

The Jordan Folklore Museum showcases items from Jordanian cultural heritage including handicrafts, mosaics, looms, weapons, the rababa (a Bedouin musical instrument), and costumes like the traditional Circassian dress. You can stop in after exploring the Roman Theater, as it’s located in the theater’s entrance.
Aqaba Archaeological Museum

This official archaeological museum houses a collection of Bronze Age artefacts dating back to 4,000 BC. The relics were found near Aqaba and further cement the belief that Aqaba is one of the region’s oldest settlements.

Roasted nuts

One of the most popular street foods in Jordan, you’ll often smell the aroma of roasting nuts as you walk through the cities. You’ll find macadamias, pistachios and many other nut varieties, which are dried, roasted, salted or coated in herbs and spices, and sold in markets across the country.
Shawarma

One of the world’s favorite street foods, shawarma is the ultimate Middle Eastern sandwich. It’s made of shavings of spit-roasted meats served in a wrap or pita, with pickles, tabbouleh salad and tangy sauces. Our Local Specialists will show you the best places to try this classic dish.

What to pack for Jordan

Adaptor plug

In Jordan, the standard voltage is 230 V and the power plugs and sockets are of type C, D, F, G and J. The standard frequency is 50 Hz.

Comfortable shoes

You’ll spend hours exploring the countries sights - a visit to Petra alone can involve a day’s worth of walking - so bring a sturdy pair of walking shoes.

Modest clothing

When visiting Jordan, you’ll need to wear modest clothing that covers your shoulders and knees. Bring light, loose-fit clothing for the heat and warm layers for chilly desert nights.

Scarf

A scarf is a handy item for keeping the sun and sand off your face, and for covering your head or shoulders when entering religious sites.

Swimsuit

Whether you’re floating in the Dead Sea, or snorkelling the coral reefs of the Red Sea, you’ll want to pack a swimsuit for your Jordan holiday.
