An Arab nation on the east bank of the Jordan River, Jordan is defined by its incredible history alongside many nature reserves and coastal resorts. The famed archaeological site of Petra, the Nabataen capital dating to around 300 B.C.E, is the real draw to this exciting country. Nicknamed the “Rose City”, and one of the new Seven Wonders of the World, Petra is set in a narrow valley with tombs, temples, and monuments carved into the surrounding pink sandstone cliffs, providing a truly unique sight.
An ancient land cradled by desert valleys and towering sandstone cliffs, Jordan is a spectacular Middle Eastern jewel just waiting to be uncovered. This peaceful Kingdom boasts a mesmerizing tapestry of natural and human-crafted wonders that have inspired awe and wonderment for millennia. From the iconic rose-red façade of Petra’s majestic Treasury to the therapeutic waters of the Dead Sea, Jordan offers a truly timeless travel experience.
More about Jordan
For history buffs and archeology enthusiasts, Jordan is an open-air museum where ancient civilizations have left their imprint. Gaze upon the striking Roman ruins of Jerash, a millennia-old city still lined with towering Corinthian columns and ancient plazas. The crusader castles of the King’s Highway region provide further glimpses into Jordan’s storied past.
Those seeking natural splendor will revel in Jordan’s breathtaking landscapes. Sleep under starry desert skies amid the towering sandstone mountains and narrow canyons of Wadi Rum. Float upon the salty, mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea before covering yourself in rejuvenating black mud. Wade through the lush oasis canyons of Wadi Mujib, hike the forests of mountainous Dana Reserve, and snorkel in the Red Sea’s vibrant reefs.
From exquisite eco-lodges tucked away in secluded desert valleys to luxurious beachfront resorts in Aqaba, Jordan offers world-class accommodation that allows you to experience this captivating Kingdom in inimitable style. Where ancient wonders seamlessly coexist with unspoiled natural beauty, Jordan truly is an open-book journey through the origins of human civilization.

Is Jordan LGBTQ+ friendly?
In Jordan, same-sex relationships are legal, same-sex marriage is banned and there are no legal protections against anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination. Equaldex gives Jordan an Equality Index of 15 out of 100.

Jordan is not a destination for open affection, but it is calmer for LGBTQ+ visitors than its reputation might suggest. Same-sex relations have been legal since 1951, unusually early for the region, though there is no recognition or protection, society is conservative, and LGBTQ+ life is kept largely private.
For visitors, the experience is usually straightforward. Petra, Wadi Rum and the Dead Sea are explored with private guides and drivers, and the hotels and desert camps we use routinely host two guests sharing a room.
Keep public affection for your room, be thoughtful about what you post online, and dress modestly away from the resorts, as everyone is expected to. We choose guides and properties where same-sex couples are welcomed.

Avoiding Middle East Flight Routes: Alternatives for LGBTQ+ Travellers
For many of our clients, the question of how to get somewhere matters almost as much as the destination itself. Transiting through Qatar, the UAE, or Saudi Arabia has become routine for long-haul travel from the UK, Europe, and increasingly the United States.

Inside Cairo’s Grand Egyptian Museum: A Long-Awaited Opening
After 33 years from initial conception, through two wars, a revolution, multiple false starts, and nearly $1.3 billion in construction costs, the Grand Egyptian Museum opened November 1, 2025. Located 2 kilometres from the Giza Pyramids, the 500,000-square-metre complex houses over 100,000 artefacts spanning seven millennia of Egyptian civilisation. It is, quite simply, the largest archaeological museum dedicated to a single civilisation on Earth. And it's finally real. The scale alone defies comprehension.

General information
Jordan has delighted tourists for many years with its fascinating World Heritage sites including the ancient city of Petra, which is the focal point of Jordan. This ancient city has been chiselled out of the cliffs and it lay forgotten for centuries known only to the Bedouin (a native Arab group) who made it their home until it was discovered by Jean Louis Burckhardt, a swiss explorer. Other great historical sites also include the Roman Ruins and Umm Qais.
The traditional culture which is still very much a part of people’s lives is a wonderful thing to experience.
Then you have the awesome geographical landscape such as the majestic Wadi Rum desert which encounters deadly heat and the bitter cold all in 24 hours. Take a camel ride and take in the weathered sandstone and endless sand plains. Taking a swim in the Dead Sea is also a weird and wonderful experience, the high salt concentration means you float on the surface of the water. If you fancy a bit of adventure and are looking to cool off from the hot sunshine then head to the Red Sea as it is renowned for scuba diving.
What Everyone Does In Jordan
A visit to the ancient city of Petra is the quintessential Jordanian experience and an absolute must for any traveler. Known as the “Rose-Red City” due to the natural hues of its sandstone cliffs, Petra is an architectural marvel carved directly into the rocks by the Nabataeans over 2,000 years ago. The journey begins with a walk through the Siq, a narrow gorge that dramatically opens up to reveal the awe-inspiring Al-Khazneh, or Treasury—a sight that never fails to leave visitors speechless. Exploring Petra’s sprawling archaeological site is like stepping back in time, with its temples, tombs, and amphitheater offering a vivid look into the ingenuity of this ancient civilization.
Petra’s allure is not just its iconic landmarks but also its atmosphere. As you wander through its ancient streets, the interplay of light and shadow on the cliffs changes throughout the day, creating a mesmerizing effect. Many visitors choose to experience Petra by night, when the site is illuminated by thousands of candles, adding a magical dimension to this historic wonder. It’s an experience that resonates with travelers of all ages and leaves an indelible mark on their journey through Jordan.
What Some People Do In Jordan
The Roman ruins of Jerash are a treasure trove for history enthusiasts, offering a glimpse into one of the best-preserved ancient Roman cities outside of Italy. Known as the “Pompeii of the East,” Jerash is home to a spectacular array of ruins, including colonnaded streets, amphitheaters, temples, and imposing gates that once served as the city’s fortifications. The grand oval-shaped forum, lined with tall, graceful columns, is particularly striking and offers a vivid sense of the city’s past grandeur.
For those with a deeper interest in Roman history, Jerash offers fascinating stories of its role as a bustling trade center and cultural hub. Visitors can imagine the thrill of chariot races in the hippodrome or marvel at the intricate carvings on the Temple of Artemis. A guided tour reveals details of daily life in the ancient city, making Jerash not just a sightseeing spot, but a living classroom of history and architecture.
What No One Else Does In Jordan
While Wadi Rum’s iconic desert landscapes are famous, few travelers take the opportunity to see this vast, otherworldly expanse from the air. A plane ride over Wadi Rum offers a truly unique perspective, allowing you to grasp the sheer scale of its dramatic cliffs, endless sand dunes, and striking rock formations. From above, the desert transforms into an abstract masterpiece, with its red and golden hues blending together like a natural painting.
This experience is not just about the views—it’s also about the serenity. Flying over Wadi Rum allows you to escape the heat and bustle on the ground and soak in the desert’s timeless beauty in quiet awe. It’s a perspective few ever witness, making it a truly exclusive and unforgettable addition to any Jordan itinerary. For those seeking unparalleled adventure and a new way to connect with this majestic landscape, this aerial journey is a must.
