From ancient, man-made wonders to modern cities, soul-stirring desert landscapes to plush beach resorts, Jordan is a land of fascinating contrasts and history, all within a country the size of Maine. The local culture of hospitality has deep roots in its Bedouin history: It was simply a matter of survival, and anyone crossing the unforgiving desert was welcomed as a guest. Even though most of Jordan’s Bedouins are only semi-nomadic these days—and you’ll most likely show up in a car rather than a camel—Jordanians remain the most gracious and generous of hosts, and the country is one of the friendliest destinations for travelers. To show you that there's more to the country than just world-famous Petra, we've selected nine other must-see places that will inspire you to pack your bags immediately.
