Jordan at a glance

Inescape Travel immerses you in the authentic essence of Jordan like no other. From ancient cities and biblical landmarks to the coral reefs of the Red Sea, Jordan stands as one of the most captivating countries in the Middle East. It boasts a wealth of archaeological marvels, including Crusade-era castles, the Roman theater in Amman, and the awe-inspiring rose-red city of Petra, carved from sandstone cliffs more than 2,000 years ago. Our Jordan holidays take you on a cultural pilgrimage to Mount Nebo, where Moses passed away, to the Jordan River, where Jesus was baptized, and to the Old City of Jerusalem. You’ll float in the salty waters of the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth, and venture into the color-shifting sands of Wadi Rum, where the Bedouin community upholds their traditions in the desert.

  • View the Roman amphitheatre and Citadel in Amman

    Join our Local Specialists for a tour of Amman to soak up its ancient treasures. We’ll visit the remarkable Roman amphitheatre, likely built in the 2nd century AD, with a massive seating capacity of 6,000. We’ll also explore the Citadel, filled with ruins like the Ummayad Palace and the Temple of Hercules.

  • Be amazed by the unique ancient city at Petra

    Marvel at this archaeological wonder, with rose-red facades carved into the sheer rock face over 2,000 years ago by the Nabataean people. It was one of the world’s first cities and today is one of the Seven Wonders of the World. We’ll begin our exploration through the iconic Siq, with cliffs soaring 80 metres high.

  • Stroll through the Greco-Roman city at Jerash

    Discover the ancient city of Jerash, once an important stop on the incense and spice trade route to the Mediterranean. It was also a favourite city of the Roman emperor Hadrian, and you can explore its towering Corinthian columns of the Temple of Artemis, 2nd-century Hadrian’s Arch and the almost intact city walls.

  • Sleep in a Bedouin Camp

    Here in Jordan you can experience the life of the nomadic Bedouin people by sleeping in their traditional camp. Heading into the desert you are likely to find yourself sipping mint tea and local coffee within the cream tent setting, made exotic and aesthetic with countless red rugs and floor seated dining areas. By night these camps fall under the blanket of a night sky dazzled by stars, sparking lengthy conversations to the tune of traditional music. You may never want to live in a traditional home every again.

  • Swim in the Dead Sea

    Go experience the surreal natural buoyancy of the Dead Sea when you’re wondering what to do in Jordan, submerging in water ten times saltier than the ocean. Said to be the lowest valley in the world, this landlocked body of water between Jordan and Israel sees an unusual amount of minerals descending into it, caking in the sun to create a salt content of over 30%. Though a visit here won’t see you admiring brightly coloured fish or the usual beach paradise setting, this water is said to heal many bodily ailments – or at the very least give travellers a relaxing float under the Middle Eastern sun.

Best Time To Visit

The best time to visit Italy is during spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November), when the temperatures are comfortable and there are fewer crowds. Wildflowers in early April and rising temperatures through to the end of June are a real draw.
