best places to visit in jordan
The Dead Sea
The Dead Sea, also known by other names, is a salt lake bordered by Jordan to the east and Israel and the West Bank to the west.
This body of water is located 418 meters below sea level. It practically glows an intense shade of aquamarine – a particularly striking sight next to salt-encrusted rock ledges and red mountains in the background. The Dead Sea is renowned for its mineral-rich water. Wellness devotees believe the water has healing properties for the skin. You can’t really swim much here though, the Dead Sea is so dense and salient that all you can really do is float atop the surface. Also, avoid getting Dead Sea water in your eyes at all costs. The intense salinity (which is 10 times saltier than the ocean) stings worse than you can imagine.
Aqaba
Aqaba is the only coastal city in Jordan, located on the southern tip of the country, and the largest and most populous city on the Gulf of Aqaba.
Also, Aqaba treats tourists to holidays on the breathtaking coastline of the Red Sea. Float, swim, snorkel, or dive – you can do it all from Aqaba. You can also get out on the turquoise water on one of the daily cruises offered by local hotels. Enhance your beach vacation in Jordan with a soak in one of the lovely hammams around the resort town. When you’re feeling hungry, dig into the local specialty of Aqaba: sayadieh – a dish of fish on flavorful rice with onion, tomato, and chili pepper.
