Kempinski Hotel Aqaba Red Sea

The Middle East is a remarkable region. The cradle of civilization to the crossroads of East and West, the region has so much to offer. Unfortunately, instability and war makes travel to some countries like Iraq and Syria impossible and to others like Lebanon and Israel/Palestine challenging. In steps Jordan: the most stable country in the Middle East and maybe the safest country I've ever visited. I had the amazing opportunity to spend three months living in Amman and exploring all around the country. While Jordan may not be quite as culturally rich as its neighbors, there are a lot of amazing sights to explore. Petra's ancient facades speaks for themselves. The sandy dunes and alien-like rock formations of Wadi Rum is (literally) the movie image of Mars. The Dead Sea is a buoyant and beautiful place. And this only cracks the surface. This guide is an all-in-one-place guide to exploring Jordan and the wealth of exploring Jordan. This guide features listings from Amman, Jerash, the Dead Sea, sights on the Kings Highway (i.e. Madaba), Petra and Wadi Musa, Wadi Rum, and Aqaba. If you need a more hands on approach to a trip to Jordan, reach out to me! I offer planning services to craft the perfect Jordanian itinerary for you. So as the Jordanians would say, yalla!

Jordan does not have much oceanfront property; in fact, Jordan's coastline is the 4th shortest of non-landlocked countries in the world. Lucky for the Kingdom, the 16 mile stretch holds the city of Aqaba: a wonderful coastal paradise. Looking for a great itinerary that provides great recommendations for the natural, historical, and cultural sites of the city? You've come to the right place! This itinerary provides details of a great weekend spent in Aqaba. Of course, this is a springboard - exploring and talking with locals are how you see the best that Aqaba and Jordan has to offer!
