Jordan can often be overlooked as a tourist destination in the Middle East; instead, places like Dubai tend to hog the limelight. But look closer, and you’ll see this needn’t be the case. Jordan punches well above its weight with things to do on holiday. There are ancient Roman and prehistoric cities to explore, hot springs to take a soak in, wildlife reserves in which to spot hundreds of animals and so much more.
The country’s rich history shines through, whether you’re peeping at a 6th-century mosaic map or walking around one of the six Crusader castles. If it’s beach resorts you’re looking for, the southern coast overlooks the Red Sea and is home to coral reefs and an abundance of fish to see whether snorkelling or sailing on a boat. Those who want something a little more active, like hiking and canyoning, are in luck.
