It's almost been a year since I went on this trip to Jordan but I decided that I wanted to do a post on it and some of my other past travels. Although it was only a week, my family and I managed to travel around the entire country. I actually couldn't believe how small it was! It's such a beautiful place with so much culture and the food there (sadly, I have no pictures) was just absolutely amazing. The trip started in Jerash which is the site of the ruins of the Greco-Roman city of Gerassa. Some of the pictures taken there show; The arch of Hadrian, The oval forum and other parts of the ancient city.
After spending a night in Amman, we decided to make a stop at Mount Nebo on the way to the Six Senses Spa. Being that it is Moses' place of burial according to Christian tradition, I highly recommend visiting it whilst in Jordan. The next two days at the Six Senses Spa and the Kempinski were so relaxing and exactly what we needed before our final stops. Swimming in the hot springs at the spa was so therapeutic but the getting into the Dead Sea at the Kempinski was even better. After you apply the Dead Sea mud on yourself and then wash it in the water, your skin just feels so incredible.
After the wonderful time by the Dead Sea, we stopped at Wadi Rum which is also known as "The valley of the moon". Driving through the valley was a great experience but staying there the night was not. We went to Jordan during the winter and the temperatures at night in Wadi Rum were almost freezing. Staying in tents with no heating was quite uncomfortable.
The final stop of the trip was at Petra for two days. Petra is a world wonder and a UNESCO heritage site. The entire city was absolutely stunning and the view from the highest point was indescribable. The only disappointment was that we only managed to see a small percentage of the city in the two days being that it's so big. From Petra to the airport we spent a couple of hours in Amman once again, going around the city and buying souvenirs. I hope you enjoyed reading this post and it influences some of you to visit the country as it really is a such a beautiful place. x
