Ahlan Wa Sahlan! Welcome to Jordan!

One of the biggest draw cards of Jordan, and voted one of the Seven Wonders of the World, is the incredible ancient Nabatean city of Petra. An architectural achievement comparable to none other, with stunning columns and facades all carved into the sides of mountains and awash with the undertones of ancient cities, biblical references and of course dramatic beauty!

A Petra Tour is best not rushed, there is so much to explore you should save yourself at least two days, more tours available on our Jordan Tours page.

Petra is the archeological site of the town Wadi Mousa, so when looking for Petra Hotels, you would be best searching for Wadi Mousa Hotels. Our company Jordan Direct Tours offers tours of Petra from all major cities and towns in Jordan, including Amman, the Dead Sea, Jerash and Aqaba, visit out Jordan Tours page for a full run down.

The Gulf of Aqaba is also a popular destination in Jordan and welcomes guests with coral-rich waters and sunshine, whilst the Dead Sea, equally popular, rejuvenates the body and mind with the salt-laden waters.

The scenic desert landscape of Wadi Rum is also a big attraction in Jordan, a place where you can truly appreciate the hypnotic silence of the desert and the amazing force of nature. Explore the impressive formations and if you’re really looking for a unique experience, stay overnight at a Bedouin Camp, and experience Wadi Rum under the moonlight! Wadi Rum is located in the Southern region of Jordan, about four hours drive from Amman.

Jordan is not all ancient castles and ruins, it is also very developed in parts and you’ll be surprised at the services available. You'll find a wide range of luxury accommodation in Jordan, with a number of fine five-star and four-star hotels in Amman, Aqaba, the Dead Sea, Wadi Mousa and Petra, as well as of course many cheap hotels in Jordan.

Getting to Jordan is easy these days, with flights to Amman Airport (QAIA) from most major cities around the world, and border crossings a breeze. Jordanians are proud people and welcome visitors of any nationality with open arms. It is probably one of the safest and most stable countries in the region.
