Petra – ancient desert city

The fabled “rose-red city, half as old as time”, Petra is the well known ancient Nabataean city in the south of Jordan, recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1985. Chosen in July 2007 as one of the New Seven Wonders and what may be one of the most expensive admissions to any archaeological site […]

Petra Moon Hotel

Just 100 metres from the entrance gate to Petra, the Petra Moon Hotel features spacious rooms with flat-screen TVs, a roof terrace with a seasonal outdoor pool. The room was modern and updated, clean and bright. I was fortunate to also have a seating area with a small table. A mini-fridge with refreshments is included in the stay, an […]

Royal Jordanian Airline misplaces Montreal

This is the second time I have spotted an error where an airline places a city in the wrong location, Royal Jordanian Airline misplaced Montreal in the USA. When scanning the in-flight magazine of Royal Jordanian Airline and checking the route they fly I spotted the mistake of the incorrectly placed Montreal, below the border […]

Rum Stars – Bedouin Adventures

The genuine attraction of Wadi Rum is the desert itself, best seen by four-wheel drive or on a camel. Some visitors only spend a few hours in the Wadi, but it’s definitely worth staying overnight in Bedouin camps in the desert. Wadi Rum is home to the Zalabia Bedouin who, working with climbers and trekkers, have made a […]

Sheraton Amman Al Nabil Hotel

Sheraton Amman Al Nabil Hotel is superb and luxurious, as expected from a 5-star hotel. I found the facilities and rooms to be of high standards, and in fact, rarely left the hotel since everything I wanted to be was there. Located in the centre of Amman‘s business district, there isn’t anything of interest in the […]

The Cave Bar

The Cave Bar occupies a 2000-year-old Nabataean rock tomb near the gates of Petra. Only one cave zoned for commercial use, The Cave Bar, run by adjacent Crowne Plaza Resort behind the Petra Visitor Centre, is part of an ancient tomb carved by the Nabateans. Sandstone walls and seats tucked into what were likely individual burial niches. Like elsewhere […]

Just a 20 minute walk to downtown Amman, the Toledo Amman Hotel is a great value budget place to stay. With an excellent location within reach to downtown Amman, easily walkable or a cheap 2JD taxi ride away. Jett buses also located just minutes away for travelling to other parts of Jordan. This top-down style where the hotel […]

Unsinkable waters of the Dead Sea

On the eastern coast of Jordan, the Dead Sea is the lowest point on earth at 394.6 m (1269 ft) below sea level. The water in the Dead Sea is extremely salty. Its name is derived from the fact that the water is far too salinated for marine inhabitation. It is nearly impossible to sink in the waters […]

Wadi Rum – Desert Adventures

Wadi Rum is a spectacularly scenic desert valley in southern Jordan. This area of Jordan is quite isolated and largely inhospitable to settled life. The only permanent inhabitants are several thousand Bedouin nomads and villagers. There is no real infrastructure, leaving the area quite unspoilt. Apart from the Bedouin goat hair tents, the only structures […]
