Due to a stopover I got the possibility to visit Jordan. Unfortunately I had only 3 days, so I had a very tightened program and I had to forego some great attractions, which would also be worth a visit.
So I rented a car and went down the King's Highway to Petra to visit this UNESCO world heritage sight. I also made a trip to the Dead Sea to experience it's hypersaline water.
To be honest I was not sure, what was expecting me. It was my first far-away travel without someones company.
I really was overwhelmed. Petra is an astonishing sight and I marvelled every single stone there for 2 days.
Apart from the man-made sights I liked Jordan's beautiful landscape too, but what me surprised most was the friendlyness of the locals. I really experienced bedouine hospitality and I never met so many helpful people than in Jordan.
Day 1: Amman, Dead Sea
Day 2: King's Highway, Petra
Day 3: Petra
- Pros:Friendly people, gorgeous sights, beautiful landscape
- Cons:language barrier
- In a nutshell:A great country for a travel!
