Before planning my year-end trip, my impression of Jordan was quite vague. I thought it would be a wealthy Middle Eastern country, but as I started researching, I gradually learned more. During the six-day self-driving trip, I deeply felt its hardships and resilience. First, Jordan's economic development level is relatively low. I was even a bit shocked in the capital, Amman, but the locals are friendly, the country is relatively stable, and the education level is good. In fact, its tourism resources are excellent, with UNESCO World Heritage site Petra, the lowest point on earth—the Dead Sea, and Wadi Rum, which looks most like Mars... Unfortunately, tourism has been severely impacted in recent years due to neighboring conflicts. I hope for more peace in the world so that ordinary hardworking people can have more opportunities 🙏 1️⃣ Amman feels more like a transit stopover destination, with a cityscape of highs and lows similar to Chongqing. We spent half a day driving around, mainly visiting the Citadel, a typical route. From above, the Byzantine-era Roman Theater and ordinary residential areas are separated by just a wall, which is quite spectacular. 🏨 DoubleTree by Hilton, a good transitional night stay with great value 2️⃣ It takes about 1 hour from Amman to the Dead Sea, where we stayed for two days. 🏨 Kempinski is probably the best hotel at the Dead Sea, offering a great resort vibe. 3️⃣ The drive from the Dead Sea to Petra takes about 3 hours. We stayed in Petra for two and a half days (arriving in the afternoon and leaving the next day at noon), entering Petra twice. Since we arrived in the afternoon on the first day, we took the shuttle directly to and from the Treasury, then hiked to and from the Monastery. The next day, we returned to the Treasury and the Royal Tombs and walked out via the Snake Path. 🏨 Marriott Petra has decent facilities; service and breakfast are below Marriott’s average but still acceptable. 4️⃣ From Petra to Wadi Rum is about 1.5 hours. We arrived in Wadi Rum in the afternoon and left at noon. 🏨 Luxotel Bubble is considered the best bubble hotel in Wadi Rum, with facilities providing maximum comfort. Half board included, and surprisingly, the food was decent. In winter, running two air conditioners at night is too dry, so I turned one off and it was still acceptable. But if I had to choose again, I would prefer to do a Jeep tour and then drive 1 hour to stay in Aqaba. 5️⃣ After a 1-hour drive, we reached Aqaba, the first time visiting the Red Sea area, experiencing the Red Sea resort atmosphere. After lunch, we drove 4 hours back to Amman, and flew out the next day. 🏨 Back at the DoubleTree, a familiar brand always brings a sense of security. (Word limit ⚠️ Please see the first comment for important notes) Overall, Jordan is amazing. Whether it’s the civilization carved into the rocks or the untamed natural wilderness that has never been conquered, it is a precious memory from my 2025-2026 New Year trip. I would recommend Jordan travel to any of my friends.
Aqaba is a seaside city at the southernmost tip of Jordan, which is very suitable for leisure and vacation. If I had enough time, I would spend 2 days in Aqaba and 1 day in the Dead Sea. 🗺️My weekend trip route Day 1: Amman➡️Petra➡️Aqaba Day 2: Aqaba➡️Dead Sea 🌈Aqaba 🚗About 4.5 hours' drive from Amman, about 2 hours' drive from Petra 1️⃣JETT Bus, 10 JOD/person There are many buses, and you can buy tickets at JETT Bus Station, Abdali. But the bus is not very fast, so it takes a little longer 2️⃣Self-driving About CNY 250-350/day, you can use a translation + passport Jordan is left-hand drive, and the driving experience is quite friendly except that the locals drive more fiercely and there are more ups and downs 🏠Hotel recommendation InterContinental Aqaba, an IHG Hotel ➡️CNY 1500-2500/night (of course there are more expensive room types) ✅Private beach + invincible sea view, very suitable for blowing the sea breeze in the room, lying on the beach to watch the blue sea, swimming in the sun, walking to the beach to watch the sunset of the Red Sea ✅Aqaba is a diving resort, in addition to coral reefs, there are underwater planes, underwater tanks, it's a pity that I didn't have enough time to go diving this time 🍜Restaurant recommendation Azaz Caborya seafood restaurant ➡️I highly recommend their grilled fish, which is very tender and the sauce is also good. The other seafood is average 🌈Dead Sea Because I didn't have enough time, I didn't choose to go to the resort to float. I found a shore and walked directly to the Dead Sea to watch the sunset. Perhaps because of the influence of salt crystals, the Dead Sea seen from the shore in the evening is blue-green and white, and the sunset of the Dead Sea is pink, which is very soft🌅 🚗About 1 hour's drive from Amman 📍My water point: Spiaggia di Sale There are few tourists, and there are simple showers nearby for people who float in the wild to wash ⚠️The parking point is a certain distance from the sea, but the salt crystals along the way are also very special, but the crystals are very sharp, be careful not to be scratched
✨ When Jordan is mentioned, most people's first impressions might be the ancient city of Petra and the Wadi Rum desert. But many are unaware that Aqaba, located at the southernmost tip of Jordan, hides a stunning Red Sea diving paradise! Here, you won't find the crowds and noise of the Egyptian Red Sea. The water is crystal clear with exceptional visibility, and the temperature is incredibly comfortable. Whether you're a diving novice or an experienced diver looking to unlock unique dive sites, Aqaba has something for everyone. 📌 Must-see highlights for Red Sea diving in Aqaba: 1. The M42 Tank and the Seven Sisters Reef: With a depth of only about 6–10 meters, the water is incredibly clear! On one side are the uniquely shaped "Seven Sisters" coral reefs, and on the other side sits a US-made M42 tank quietly resting on the seabed. Watching various tropical fish swim around the green tank, the fusion of history and marine life is truly breathtaking! 2. Cedar Pride Wreck: One of Aqaba's most classic shipwreck dive sites. This cargo ship lies diagonally on the seabed, surrounded by vibrant soft and hard corals. Swimming among the ship's structure and schools of fish, the interplay of light and shadow makes it feel like stepping into an underwater movie scene. 3. Lockheed TriStar JAG & C-130 Transport Plane Wreck: Real airplanes sunk to the bottom of the sea! Stepping inside the cabin and photographing the aircraft and the Underwater Military Museum is a paradise for underwater photography enthusiasts 📸 💡 Practical Diving Tips: Best Diving Season: Aqaba is suitable for diving year-round, but autumn and early winter (October–November) offer very pleasant water temperatures, and the land area is not too hot. Dive Center Recommendation: It is recommended to choose a local dive center with complete equipment and professional, attentive instructors (PADI certified). Sea Wonders Diving Center is recommended (Chinese-speaking staff available) and also offers free underwater camera services! Suitable for: From introductory scuba diving and snorkeling to certification (OW/AOW), the coastline here is gentle, and many dive sites are accessible by shore dive, making it extremely beginner-friendly. Afterwards, enjoy a cup of specialty Middle Eastern coffee at Ayla Oasis while watching the Red Sea sunset – this is the most romantic and chill way to experience Jordan! ❤️ #JordanTravel #Aqaba #RedSeaDiving #JordanAqaba #UnderwaterWorld #WreckDiving #tripmoment #TravelAccessible #OffTheBeatenPathDivingDestination

#tripbestshot "Where the Dunes End and the Bedouin Begin" Wadi Rum Village is not a village in the sense you’re used to. It’s a cluster of concrete blocks, a mosque, a few shops selling the same three postcards, and a parking lot full of trucks with their hoods up. It is also, unquestionably, one of the most beautiful places I have ever stood. I arrived on a minibus from Aqaba—two hours of desert highway and one abrupt turn into a landscape that looked, frankly, like Mars—and was met by a man named Salem who introduced himself by taking my bag and saying, "You’ll sleep in the sand tonight. Good?" The first dune is a 20-minute walk from the village. The sand is the color of tea with too much milk. Every step slides back half a step. By the time you reach the top, you will have forgotten what you were worried about. Guide & Tips: Getting there: Minibus from Aqaba (5 JD, 2 hrs) or a private taxi (25–35 JD). From Amman it’s a long day; better to overnight in Aqaba. The step: The first major dune ridge, west of the village, is the easiest climb and has the best sunset view. Go up 45 min before sundown, come down by moonlight or headlamp. Stays: Budget: rum-star-camp-style tents (20–35 JD with dinner). Mid-range: Bubble tents or Panorama. Luxury: Sun City or similar with en-suite bathrooms (80–150 JD). Tours: A half-day jeep tour (40–60 JD per person) covers the major sights—Lawrence’s Spring, the Khazali Canyon inscriptions, the arch. Book through your camp, not online. Food: Zarb (meat and vegetables slow-cooked underground) is the signature dish. Expect to eat it at least once a day. Pack: Layers. Desert nights drop to near-freezing in winter, and the wind finds every gap in your jacket.
Vast red sand plains stretch between towering sandstone mountains, while the changing light paints the desert in shades of orange, rust and gold. Wadi Rum, in southern Jordan, feels like another world—one shaped by wind, ancient rock formations and centuries of Bedouin life. The experience here is less about ticking off attractions and more about exploring the desert itself. A 4WD journey through the valleys, a quiet sunset over the sand and a night beneath the stars can become the highlights of a Jordan trip. 📍 5 Experiences to Include 1. Explore the Desert by 4WD A guided 4WD tour is one of the most practical ways to see Wadi Rum’s vast landscape. Tours may include sandstone formations, narrow canyons and viewpoints that are difficult to reach independently. Confirm the route and duration before booking. 2. Visit Lawrence’s Spring This small spring is associated with the history and stories surrounding T. E. Lawrence. The surrounding rocky landscape offers a glimpse of how water shapes life in an otherwise arid environment. 3. Walk Through Khazali Canyon Khazali Canyon is known for its narrow rock passage and historic inscriptions. Some sections may be uneven, so wear shoes with good grip and follow your guide’s advice. 4. Watch the Desert Sunset As the sun drops behind the sandstone mountains, the landscape shifts from bright red to deep orange and purple. Ask your guide about a suitable viewpoint, and bring a light jacket because temperatures can fall after sunset. 5. Stay in a Bedouin Desert Camp Spending a night in Wadi Rum lets you experience the desert after day visitors leave. Depending on the camp, you may enjoy traditional food, tea and views of the night sky. Facilities vary, so check whether your accommodation offers private bathrooms, heating or air conditioning before booking. 🗺️ Suggested 2-Day Itinerary Day 1: Arrive at Wadi Rum Village, meet your camp or tour operator and take an afternoon 4WD excursion. Stop at scenic rock formations before watching the sunset, then enjoy dinner and an overnight desert stay. Day 2: Wake early for the morning light, have breakfast at camp and explore another part of the desert if time permits. Continue towards your next destination in Jordan. If you're travelling from Petra or Aqaba, plan your road transfer carefully and confirm the meeting point with your camp in advance. ✈️ Practical Travel Tips · Best time to visit: Spring and autumn are often comfortable for outdoor activities. Summer afternoons can be extremely hot, while winter nights can be cold. · Choose a licensed local operator: Check what is included in the tour, including transport, meals, entrance fees and the return transfer. · Pack smart: Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, closed shoes and enough drinking water for your activities. · Prepare for temperature changes: Even after a warm day, the desert can become surprisingly cold at night. · Check your camp facilities: A panoramic bubble tent may look impressive, but compare location, bathroom arrangements, heating and included meals before paying extra. · Respect local culture: Follow your guide’s advice when visiting cultural sites and ask permission before photographing people. Wadi Rum is a destination that rewards travellers who slow down. The desert’s scale, the quiet between the mountains and the experience of watching the stars emerge after sunset make it a memorable addition to a Jordan itinerary. #WadiRum #JordanTravel #VisitJordan #RedDesert #DesertAdventure #BedouinCamp #DesertSunset #MiddleEastTravel #Stargazing #Tripcom

I based myself in Aqaba for two nights (cheap Airbnb, 90 DH/night, cash to the owner, no card at check-in) and took a shared taxi to Wadi Rum village (15 DH, shared Peugeot, departs when full — bring small notes). Most tourists hop on the 4×4 “Mars landscape” circuit. I didn’t. I hired a local guide for 100 DH (agreed beforehand, no tip expected, cash only) and walked the trail behind his family’s camp toward Jebel Umm Ishrin. At 4:45pm the sandstone started glowing like embers. The guide made mint tea over a tiny gas stove (free, part of the deal) and we sat on a rock where the only footprints were a goat’s. No fence, no ticket booth, no “please rate your tour” email. The silence was so thick I could hear a kestrel click its beak. Info that helps: Wadi Rum’s “protected area” entry is 5 JOD per person if you enter by car; on foot from the village it’s technically free but you’re supposed to register at the visitor centre (open 8am–5pm, card machine sometimes broken — carry JOD cash). The walk from the village to the good sunset rocks is ~3 km each way, flat, fine for sneakers but dusty. Bring a headtorch if you linger past dusk; the Milky Way is stupidly bright here and you will lose track of time. My opinion: Wadi Rum is the purest version of the theme — the city (Aqaba) is a handful of concrete and a cruise port; the desert is a 40-minute drive of absolute non-human scale. Would you trade a hotel pillow for a rock that’s been there since the Edomites? #citybreakvsnatureescape

Tqeappreciating the view and fall in love
steffie.25I think this is the most worthwhile place to visit in Jordan. Akaba, also known as Yaqaba, is a small seaside town in Jordan. The Red Sea is here, and Israel is across the way. So as a foreigner, don't take photos on the road, especially at the port, otherwise the Arabs will lock you up as a spy. You must go to the Red Sea when you come to Yaqaba. Diving in the Red Sea or renting a boat to go out to sea is good. You can see airplanes and cannons underwater, which are not available in other diving places.
