Experience The Salty Waters Of the Dead Sea
There are many reasons to enjoy fantastic holidays in Jordan, a well-respected Arab nation situated between Israel and Saudi Arabia. The Dead Sea, which is shared between Israel and Jordan, is well known for its lack of living organisms and its barren landscape. Hence, the very appropriate name “The Dead Sea”. Every year, thousands of tourists visit the Dead Sea to experience the amazing floating sensation, which occurs due to the high level of salt. It is also well-renowned for healing severe skin conditions, to the extent where people can buy Dead Sea skin care creams and lotions online at very high premiums.
See The City Built Thousands Of Years Ago
Hollywood blockbuster movie by Indiana Jones, “The Last Crusade”, shows just how stunning and versatile Jordan as a country can be. The film was shot in 1989 at various locations across Jordan. Although it was shot over 25 years ago, it still managed to capture the beauty of Petra and her surroundings. Additionally, the ancient city of Petra’s designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site has attracted the attention of millions of people seeking new cultural destinations for their next adventure. This happened in 1985, and soon this lost city seeped into ancient culture and history, and was chosen as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
Absorb The Beauty And Significance Of Ancient Architecture
The mesmerising view of the saltiest and the deepest lake in the world is only the beginning of the excitement and adventure that awaits you when you go to Jordan for your family holidays. There is much more in the heart of the desert to give you fantastic holidays to remember for a long time to come. One such place that is a living example of ancient history and culture is Petra. It is an archaeological marvel that is also included in one of the Seven Wonders of the World today. You have to visit this ancient city to believe your eyes. It was built around 3,000 years ago, and you only get glimpses of what an archaeological marvel it must have been in its heyday. The structures have been carved on the underground rocks of the mountains bordering the long valley of Arabah. Visiting this lost city and being able to walk through the walls that stretch for a length of nearly 1.5km is an experience that will be treasured for the rest of your life.
An Experience Of A Lifetime
If you have any interest in ancient culture and the history of this unique country, it is advisable to have a guide explain everything to you in a language you understand. This is because you can certainly catch the beauty and architecture through your eyes, but you may need the help of a local English-speaking guide to show you the ropes, after all… they are the experts! Petra, also referred to as Pink City because of the colour of the natural stone used for carving structures, is undoubtedly a place that cannot be missed when you go to visit Jordan. The setting of this ancient city, nestled amid mountains and valleys, also presents excellent opportunities for excitement and adventure to those who love hiking in mountainous regions.
Do not forget to pay a visit to the Valley of the Moon, also popularly known as Wadi Rum, located further south of Petra. You can expect to catch breathtaking and mesmerising scenes of natural beauty in this area.
