Our itinerary in Jordan
Jordan is a small country but features a wide range of breathtaking attractions. The most known is Petra, the ancient city carved completely into the rock of the mountains and UNESCO Heritage site since 1985. Petra is definitely worth the trip, but the Nabataean city is not the country’s only wonder. Crusaders Castles, ancient Roman Cities, a relaxing break on the Dead Sea or on the beaches in Aqaba and the wonderful landscapes of the Wadi Rum desert will make your trip unforgettable.

At Amman International Airport there are several rental companies; We booked our car with rentalcars.com. Accommodation: medium range. The average expense for a double room 20USD. We booked our accommodation with Booking.com, alternatively, you can also find good deals with Agoda.com or Hotels.com.
