• As we mentioned, Amman is the capital of the country and it is one city that will rival other major cities in the world for beauty and history as the cultural hub of the country. Attractions include Mount Nebo, the Amman Citadel, the Roman theatre, and a visit to a sixth-century church that holds the Madaba Map. Horseback riding through the ‘Siq’ (canyon) is a popular activity to show off the terrain around the city of Amman, visit the Treasury of El Khazneh – a tomb of the Nabatean king, and the field of tombs along with many pieces of ancient architecture that dot the area and are easy to access.
• A visit to the 'Red Rock' city known as Petra is just a short hop from Amman and offer the visitor many activities. Petra is known as ‘Sela Edom’ that translates into the red rock an ancient capital from the third century BC for a lost civilization. In Petra, you can see buildings that are set into mountains and that is one of the most important pieces of history that the Middle East has to offer. Petra, in the early days of the settlement, was a stop for many traders that offered art, culture, and trade that was influenced by the many different cultures that passed through Petra to other points in the Middle East.
• With the proximity of Jordan to Israel, you can combine your vacation stay with a trip to two major cities, Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Crossing the border from Jordan, you arrive in Tel Aviv with lots of activities that will be waiting for time and energy to visit. Tel Aviv has been described as an Avant-Garde city and it is reflected in the Neve Tzedek district of the city, trendy boutiques, handcrafted clothing, and a farmer’s market are part of the experience here. As a cultured city, art galleries and museums dot the city as it shows off the best and brightest of Israel has to offer. Sitting on the banks of the Mediterranean Sea, cruises and beach activities are part of the allure of the world-class city.
• Jerusalem shares a cultural bond with the Muslim and Christian communities and it reflected in the sites to see and places to visit. See the Western Wall and say a prayer. The Church of Holy Sepulchre dates back to the fourth century and is a Christian basilica that some Christians believe is where is where the Tomb of Christ is located. Temple Mount is a Christian, Jewish and Islamic site that is mentioned in the Old Testament and the New Testament.
