Top 5 Cultural Experiences to Include in Your Jordan Group Tour

For good reason, tourists are drawn to Jordan's historic treasures, such as Petra and Jerash. On your group trip, however, go deeper, and you'll find a tapestry of fascinating encounters that extend beyond the well-known sites.

For Jordan tours that will never be forgotten, immerse yourself in these five cultural treasures:

Bedouin Hospitality in Wadi Rum 

Forego cityscapes in favour of the red dunes of Wadi Rum, the fabled home of Lawrence of Arabia and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here, your group may set up a tent beneath the stars while conversing with Bedouin families and enjoying traditional meals. Discover more about their nomadic way of life, travel through the canyons on camelback, and take in breathtaking dawn views from the summit of massive sandstone hills.

Go to Petra

One of the Seven Wonders of the World, Petra is a must-see location for travellers to Jordan. Approximately 2,000 years ago, this ancient city was sculpted into the sandstone cliffs and is renowned for its remarkable architecture. Among other breathtaking attractions, visitors may tour the Treasury, the Street of Facades, and the Monastery.

Madaba 

Madaba sometimes referred to as the "City of Mosaics," is home to magnificent examples of Byzantine art. Discover the Church of St. George, which is home to the renowned Holy Land mosaic map, and be amazed by the detailed representations of Jerusalem, Bethlehem, and other historical locations. See more magnificent mosaics that highlight Jordan's rich creative legacy in the Archaeological Museum and the Greek Orthodox Church of the Virgin Mary.

The Dead Sea

The Dead Sea is a must-watch when you’re on a Jordan group tour. It is impossible for the Dead Sea, a salt lake, to sink due to its extreme salinity. The water's minerals provide therapeutic effects that allow visitors to float on the water's surface. Another fantastic location to unwind and enjoy the sun is the Dead Sea.

Karak's Culinary Delights

In the ancient city of Karak, savour the flavours of Jordan. Explore the crowded market and give in to the allure of merchants selling fragrant spices, crisp fruit, and hot platters filled with regional specialties. Savour delectable shwarma wraps, try mezze platters with falafel, baba ghanoush, and hummus, and don't miss the national cuisine, mansaf, which is a filling dish made with lamb, rice, and yoghurt. Enjoy delectable pastries and Arabic solid coffee to round off your feast while taking in the lively ambience.
