Gabby's Guide to... Jordan! 🇯🇴
Gabby @packslight
When I travel, I seek destinations where I can go on excursions, meet new people, be immersed in the culture, and feel safe as a Black woman traveling solo.
The Middle East has always been one of my favorite regions to explore and Jordan had always been on my bucket list because I’d heard not only of its world wonders but the world-class hospitality of the people who live there.
On this trip, I had more once-in-a-lifetime experiences than I can even count AND I felt extremely safe the entire time. Again: as a Black, solo female traveler, that's an incredibly important and sometimes difficult thing to find!
With that in mind, here's my 10-day Jordan Itinerary!
This guide includes
👉 A detailed 10-day itinerary
👉 Accommodation recommendations for each stop
👉 Adventure AND cultural travel excursions
👉 Unique Jordan experiences (woman-owned, sustainable, etc.)
👉 Can't miss photo spots
👉 Links to blog articles for further information
👉 Links to my TikToks and Instagram posts highlighting my visit to a place
🙏🏽 My honest experiences, opinions, and reviews!

Jordan is an incredibly diverse country which has welcomed refugees, immigrants, and travelers over centuries.
You’ll find small racial groups with Palestinian, Iranian, Egyptian, East Asian, and yes, African roots throughout Jordan which also means a special coexistence of the many religious groups.
Many times people mistook me for local when I wore local clothing—which goes to show how much of a melting pot this country is!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Gabby @packslight
Hi, I’m Gabby 👋🏽 I own Packs Light and am a full-time digital nomad from the United States. I've touched 55+ countries, and I'm a true lover of immersive, cultural, and adventurous travel experiences! 🪂
I was born in California but moved around often thanks to my parents—dad was in the military, mom was a travel agent. Thanks to my nomadic childhood I became confident in navigating this world (even as a young, Black, curly-haired sassy little girl!)
At age 17 I went on my first solo trip to backpack Iceland. At age 21 I studied abroad in Dubai, UAE for 9 months. And by age 24 had completely abandoned my budding engineering career to pursue my dream of being a full-time travel influencer!
Now I have experience in 50+ countries and 6 continents, have accumulated 800,000 followers, and have a lifetime of tips, trips, stories, and recommendations to share.
I love helping others see the world. I love helping people explore past the first page of Google. And I love turning travel bucket lists into exciting stories to impress your friends and family at the dinner table.
Follow me, and let me guide you through your next trip!
