Jordan travel guide: 6 destinations to plan

Jordan fits a busy capital, Roman ruins, the Nabataean city of Petra, desert landscapes and a Red Sea coast into one trip, and OFAQ WORLD covers 6 Jordanian destinations. Each guide maps real, named places with practical notes, so you can compare them and plan a route that suits you.

Amman is the largest guide, with 90 places around the Citadel and Roman Theatre, Rainbow Street and the downtown souks. North of the capital, Jerash (39 places) is known for its Roman ruins and works as a base for day trips in northern Jordan; its guide lists AMM as the airport.

In the south, the Petra guide (54 places) uses Wadi Musa as the base for the Nabataean city and lists AQJ as the airport. Wadi Rum (22 places) is a landscape of sandstone monoliths, red dunes and Bedouin hospitality under starry skies, and Aqaba (68 places) combines Red Sea beaches with day trips to Wadi Rum.

For walkers, the Dana Biosphere Reserve guide (13 places) covers Old Dana Village, the canyon trails down Wadi Dana and the ruins at Feynan. Pick a destination below to open its full guide.
