Jordan Tours
Things To Do and See in Jordan
Swimming effortlessly in the Dead Sea and taking a good look at aquatic life are some of the adventurous things you can do in Jordan.
The Dead Sea is bordered by Jordan and it’s a salt lake. When the weather is hot, the water level drops significantly. It is the lowest point on Earth’s surface which is why you must visit it once in your life.
Once you have witnessed the Dead sea and taken an effortless swim in it, you can swim in the Red Sea. The coral reefs and the beautiful fishes inside will give you a reason to stay in Jordan for many more weeks or months!
When you are done with the swimming adventures, make sure you take a long shower as the saltiness can harm your skin.
The ancient souks are your next step! This is where you get all kinds of goodies to take back home. Make sure you only buy things you can carry back to your country or the place you belong to.
Jordan’s Madaba town has some captivating mosaics. You can also purchase handicrafts and other creative objects made by locals.
Here’s a little tip: don’t pass in front of someone who is praying. This is considered disrespectful in their culture, so make sure you respect the culture and beliefs of the locals in Jordan.
When in Jordan, it’s all about adventure and a shopping spree! Don’t forget to look at the architecture of the different buildings located in Jordan. They are so intriguing that you can’t help but take a picture.
