Jordan

Unlike most of its neighbours Jordan has suffered very little with regards to political instability and terrorism which means it is a relatively popular destination in the Middle East.

How They Dazzle Us

Jordan is a great place to visit, but without a doubt the most dazzling place in this ancient country is Petra. Reportedly inhabited as long ago as 9000BC, Petra is found deep inside a narrow gorge in the desert. It is accessed by walking through a long chasm that is almost a kilometre in length with steeps walls of almost 200m on either side. The ancient architecture is incredible with building carved into the rock – the most famous of these is known as The Treasury and it is used in the final sequence of the film ‘Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade’.

Their Sustainable Superpower

Unlike most of its neighbours Jordan has suffered very little with regards to political instability and terrorism which means it is a relatively popular destination in the Middle East. As such it is also at the forefront of sustainable tourism in the area having first outlined a strategy shortly after the turn of the century. Central to the approach was their goal of diversifying their tourism industry through eco-tourism. In nurturing their eco-tourism niche, Jordan has ensured that the economic benefits yielded from eco-tourism are used in the preservation of the country's protected areas.

Best Time to Visit

Jordan can be very hot in summer so the best time to visit is generally when it is a little cooler. March to May tend to be nice and cool with temperatures in the low twenties. But in many ways, it depends on why you are visiting the country. If you are there for the beaches then warmer weather might be welcome, in which case The Dead Sea and Aqaba can see temperatures reaching the low forties in July.
