Compare Jordan Hotels

It may be small, but Jordan is an historically significant country that has a lot to offer travelers. This mostly desert nation is filled with ancient marvels, including its most famous, Petra, but it is also home to Amman, a modern city that has managed to successfully blend the old Jordan with the new. As you plan your trip, know that you can find great deals on Jordan hotels, including hotels in Aqaba, a popular resort town on the Red Sea.

Visiting Jordan

While in Jordan, you cannot miss out on visiting its most famous site, Petra, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. This magnificent lost city, which was literally carved out of sandstone cliffs, was the capital of the mysterious Nabataean empire between 400 B.C. and A.D. 106. It is so stunning that it is now considered to be one of the Seven New Wonders of the World.

Another can't-miss site? Wadi Rum, which is also known as The Valley of the Moon. This valley is famous for its pale pink sands and towering granite and sandstone cliffs. This is an excellent place to go exploring with a Bedouin guide and to perhaps stumble upon ancient rock drawings. Make sure to check around for the best hotels in Jordan located near the Wadi Rum area. The Dead Sea is another popular destination for travelers to Jordan. This fabled aquamarine-colored body of water is actually a lake and is the lowest point on Earth; it is also one of the saltiest water bodies.

Dine on Seafood in Aqaba

Although Jordan is almost a land-locked nation, it does boast a beach resort town, Aqaba, which is located on the Red Sea and is an excellent destination for diving and snorkeling. It is also a great place to dine on fresh seafood.
