A beautiful place. Make sure to allocate enough time for it as it takes a while to hike from the entrance.
Jordan really brings people too many surprises. The Khazneh Temple, the most famous classic here, is like traveling back to ancient times. It is super beautiful, the filming effect is particularly great, the ruins and the vicissitudes of history are really worth savoring!

Wadi Rum was so fun to go to. We woke up at 5 in the morning to watch the sunrise on camels and it was completely worth it. And it wasn’t even too hot#wadirum #visitJordan #desert #mytripvlog #awesomepic
Es ist einfach traumhaft hier! Eine Kameltour und eine Wüstensafari sind ein absolutes muss!

Not too far from the Temple of Hercules is the Roman Amphitheater and one of the best examples of Roman theater that I have ever seen!
This place is actually in the local city center, a very prosperous section, suddenly this site appeared. This square has a very, very many pillars. Especially suitable for going there and punching in and taking pictures. There are many children in the local area who will guide you on how to shoot better results, but you will need to pay tips to the children.

As one of the new seven wonders of the world, Petra not only has temples, monasteries, snake paths, chanting, candlelight, the most expensive ticket (670 yuan), but it also has the most stubborn donkey～～Hehe
The Snake Road is a canyon leading to the ancient city of Petra. It is called the "Snake Road" because of its winding and narrow shape. The narrowest part here can only pass a horse-drawn carriage, and the slightly wider part is only a few meters. The cliffs on both sides of the Snake Road are brightly colored. The deepest impression is when you are near the Khazneh Temple, passing through the narrowest snake road, a ray of sunlight shines on the cliff of the Khazneh Temple, and that moment makes you cry.

Rainbow Street is a neighborhood, there are many foreign tourists living and playing, is also a good place to taste local food and life fun, many taverns and hotels are opened by foreigners, is a more lively and safe area.
This neighborhood is near the hotel where you stay. This street is quite wide. You can see a lot of beautiful color paintings on the street. The vehicles on the street are prohibited. There are many delicious and small hotels. [View] The street view is quite fun [Fun] Funny visit

The history of Jerash is a long and detailed one that is best discovered whilst exploring the ruins and museums of the city itself. The city was conquered by General Pompey in 64 BC when it was named Gerasa. Gerasa grew in wealth and later became a colony in the third century. Due to an earthquake and a number of crusades leading up to the 12th Century, the city’s ancient sites were not discovered again until the end of the 19th century.
"Jerash" is a building site from the period when ancient Greece and ancient Rome ruled Jordan. It is located on a hillside not far from the city of Amman, Jordan. Standing on the hill of Jerash, you can overlook the city view of Aman. It was built in 300 BC and took nearly 100 years to complete. The stone pillars mixed with Roman and Greek styles are majestic and tall, standing in rows. On each stone pillar, the remains of the colonial period are engraved on it. Seeing the ruins of Jerash will remind you of the once prosperous Old Summer Palace. The difference is that the Old Summer Palace was a man-made disaster, destroyed by war and looting, and Jerash was destroyed by an earthquake. As a historical site, it is worth visiting. There are some interactive projects inside, such as the Roman chariot experience, but unfortunately there is no Chinese tour guide, and the local tour guide's English is not very good, so it is recommended to do homework before going and make up for the historical knowledge. Overall, this trip is still rewarding.

The Jordan Museum is a national-level museum. This country has a very long history. Many traces and cultural relics from the ancient Roman period can be seen here. Archaeological excavations are ongoing at the site, and visiting the museum is still very worthwhile for learning.
[Ticket price] 5jd (2019.7)
[Layout] Mainly divided into two floors. The first floor is history, starting from 8,000 years ago to the Dead Sea Scrolls, and then to how Jordanians' technology has developed today. I personally like the second floor, which is very interactive and popularizes various little-known inventions and creations. Each one can be experienced through videos or interactions.
[Environment] The whole museum is not crowded, not big, and quite clean, which is different from the impression of China's second- and third-tier cities on the streets outside.
