While you’re in the majestic land of Jordan, make sure you witness the lowest point on earth, the Dead Sea, which receives a number of incoming rivers, including the River Jordan. Flanked by mountains to the east and the rolling hills of Jerusalem to the west, the Dead Sea is surrounded by astounding beauty on all sides. While you’re planning a visit to the Dead Sea, you must also head to another nearby wonder, Hammamat Ma’in (Ma’in Hot Springs), which is also referred to as the most breathtaking desert oases in the world. Jordan is also home to the beautiful examples of both early Islamic art and architecture, the Desert Castles, which are testament to a fascinating era in the country's rich history. A trip to the Dana Biosphere Reserve will give you a peek into Jordan’s staggering beauty, history, and biodiversity. The reserve provides a wide range of adventurous and relaxing activities, from hiking and taking guided tours to bird-watching and star-gazing at night.
