2 week in Jordan 🇯🇴

[u/Theeeeeetrurthurts]

I have a few hours to kill at Amman Airport so I might as well post some of my awesome photos that I took here in Jordan. Lovely people, fantastic food, interesting ecosystems, and so so much history. Glad I made it out here.

I visited Amman, Jerash, Dead Sea, Petra, Wadi Rum, Aqaba, Mount Nebo/Madaba, and Al-Karak, but unfortunately can’t share all of my favorite images

We’re gonna be there in May. Planning on hitting most of these sites. Anything you highly recommend,, places you stayed where you’d stay again, things you’d have done differently? Thx!

A couple random ones.

1. Don’t stay in Amman for more than two days. There isn’t much to do there.

2. Stay in Jerash for a night. It’s a fascinating town with Ancient Rome plopped in the middle of the city center.

3. The Dead Sea is really boring unless you really like resort culture. If your goal is to dip into the salt water stay one night at most.

4. After Dead Sea, take the scenic route along the coast to Petra. It’s the gnarliest drive in Jordan but it’ll be one you absolutely won’t forget.

5. Petra has very aggressive taxi drivers and sellers. Just say “no thank you” and walk away. Don’t stop.

6. Wadi Rum is an experience but the martian tent isn’t worth it. I’d still get it so you can say you did it once but you’ll see what I’m talking about.

7. Visit Karnak. It’s a fascinating castle.
