Places to See in Jordan

The holidays are coming up and many people travel during Christmas or other Jordanian celebrations like Eid.

Jordan is a great place to visit and explore. There are many different places that you can visit in Jordan! 

Petra is one of them, and it is one of The New Seven Wonders of the World. It is also so beautiful. It takes about three hours to get there in the car from Amman. You can camp out there or go for a day to explore.

Aqaba is also one great place to visit. Many people go there because it is by the sea--the Red Sea to be precise! There are many pools and lots of different hotels that you can stay in. You can do all kinds of water sports and dive or snorkel. It takes about four hours to get there by car, or you can go by plane!

The Dead Sea is one of the lowest points on earth and the sea itself is so salty you can actually float in the sea. There are so many different and exciting places sorry that I didn't mention them all!







Here is the city Jerash.

I am very lucky because I have been to many different places in the world. I love to explore new places and see new things. I am going to tell you about my best holiday. My best holiday was when I went to Malaysia with my family and best friend's family.

We saw lots of animals (I even got kissed by an orangutan!!) and went on great adventures. When we went we stayed in the island of Langkawi--it was an amazing experience!

If you want to go somewhere you should come visit all the great places here in Jordan.
