Our impressions after travelling to Jordan

Our impressions after travelling to Jordan

Our trip to Jordan took place at the end of October/ beginning of November. We spent 11 days there and we believe that it was enough time to discover the most important places in the country and relax for a few days by the sea. I have already written about the rules for entering Jordan and how we were travelling around here. Our itinerary looked like this:Day 1 AmmanDay 2 JerashDay 3 Dead SeaDay 4 Travelling south and Little PetraDay…

Aqaba – a place to relax

Aqaba – a place to relax

There are two places in Jordan where you can relax on the beach and in a hotel with swimming pools: by the Dead Sea and the Red Sea. There is absolutely nothing to do at the Dead Sea other than lay down and use the spa. The only option is an all inclusive hotel as there aren’t even shops or restaurants in the area. By the Red Sea a fairly large port town of Aqaba is located, and the beaches…

Wadi Rum – adventure on the desert

Wadi Rum – adventure on the desert

Wadi Rum is Jordan’s second main attraction, apart from Petra. Everyone has probably heard about the red desert, which in many movies played the role of the surface of Mars 🙂 We have been to the desert in Oman before and we liked it very much, so we absolutely wanted to repeat our desert adventure, but in a new edition. The desert in Jordan is completely different than the one in Oman. There are some single sand dunes here, but…

Petra with kids. Trails, price and our impressions

Petra with kids. Trails, price and our impressions

Everyone knows that when in Jordan, Petra has to be seen. The ancient city of Nabataeans carved out of rock is listed as one of the 7 new Wonders of the World and is an absolutely breathtaking sight. The city was probably founded around the 3rd century BC, and its heyday took place in the 1st century. Petra was later destroyed by the Crusader invasion and numerous earthquakes. Currently, in Petra, several routes of various lengths and difficulties have been…

One day trips from Amman

One day trips from Amman

Amman itself is neither a pretty nor interesting city. One day is enough to visit it, but it can be used as the base for exploring the surrounding area. Of course, you can also stay overnight in any of the locations listed below, but we, personally, do not like to move every day and prefer to have a permanent base for a few days (children need a bit of stability). So where can you go for a day trip from…

Amman – what to see and where to eat

Amman – what to see and where to eat

The first days spent in the capital of Jordan, Amman, are behind us. For various reasons, we spent as many as 4 nights here, but it does not mean that we were only visiting the city all the time. It was from Amman that we went on trips to Jerash and the Dead Sea. We only visited the capital city for one day and we think that it is enough. Amman is a city of 2 million people located in…

Jordan – what should you know before travelling

Jordan – what should you know before travelling

I can’t believe that I can finally write these words. We made it! We are in Jordan! Our last trip outside the EU was Oman in 20219, where we fell in love with the desert and numerous wadis. I wonder if Jordan will also manage to steal our hearts? Our plan is, as always, to visit as much as possible. We will visit ancient sites in Amman and Jerash, admire mosaics in Madaba, we will take a dip in the…
