]]> The Ancient City of Petra in southern Jordan is one of the world’s most treasured UNESCO Heritage Sites. The Nabatean tribe of nomads settled into the region around 350BC. At its peak in the first century AD, Petra was home to almost 35,00 residents. If Petra isn’t on your to-visit list yet, you’ll have to include it after learning about these incredible spots.

The Treasury of Al-Khazneh

This is probably the most famous symbol of Petra. Al-Kazneh was carved in the 1st century as a tomb for a Nabatean king and later used as a temple. Seeing the treasury by day is an overwhelming experience, but visiting by night will transport you to a magical dimension. Hundreds of candles illuminate the path through the siq and the glorious treasury.

The Cobblestone Water Channels

The Nabateans carved channels, dams, and nieces into rock, which you might see in action if you visit Petra on a rainy day. These unique formations created long and narrow corridors, which you can admire by foot, cart, or camel.

The 800 stairs climb to the Monestary is Totally Worth It

The second most famed monument of Petra is found at the end of your journey. The design resembles that of al-Kazneh but is rather simplified. By the time you reach the monastery at the top of the stairs, stay and enjoy one of the most beautiful sunsets Earth has to offer.

]]> If you’ve just recently swallowed the travel bug, or you’ve been traveling for decades, it’s never too late to take on new challenges. When it comes to visiting iconic destinations, perhaps one of the biggest challenges one can take is to visit the seven wonders of the world.

We aren’t talking about the seven wonders of the ancient world, which includes landmarks you can no longer visit. We’re talking about places you can literally see today—as long as you have enough time and money. Here are the seven wonders:

The Taj Mahal – Agra, India

The Taj Mahal was made as a tribute of love by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan for his deceased wife Mumtaz Mahal. Incidentally, the site itself is just as beautiful as the original reason it was made.

Machu Picchu – Peru

It’s not hard to see why this 15th-century Inca citadel would be a fun place to visit. The scenery is just breathtaking, and its polished dry-stone walls are truly impressive.

Christ the Redeemer – Rio De Janeiro, Brazil

A statue of Jesus Christ made of reinforced concrete and soapstone, it’s a breathtaking work of art that one can appreciate even if they aren’t necessarily religious.

The Colosseum – Rome, Italy

You can choose to either focus on or ignore the Colosseum’s fascinating, albeit barbaric history—and in the process appreciate how majestic it is.

Chichen Itza – Yucatan, Mexico

This archaeological site was built by the Mayans and is the most visited location in Mexico. Go there to learn more about its fascinating history.

Petra – Ma’an, Jordan

Also called “Rose City” due to its gorgeous color, this archeological city can be explored after entering a 1.2 kilometer-long gorge.

The Great Wall of China – Huairou District, China

There are few places on earth that are quite as jaw-dropping as the Great Wall of China. As the name suggests, the wall extends a whopping 13,170 miles.

]]> Petra is one of the most beautiful ancient cities in the world and Jordan’s most impressive historical landmark. It’s one of those magical places everyone should visit at least once in a lifetime, and you can’t get here before passing through a narrow canyon called Al-Siq.

This natural passage will lead you to the breathtaking temples and other sites that Petra is known for, but it’s just as impressive as everything you’ll find inside. This narrow gorge reaches up to 80 meters in height, while its width varies between three and 12 meters.

It’s a 1.2 kilometers walk through Al-Siq before you see the city of Petra emerging in the distance. It’s truly a walk to remember, and we wouldn’t be surprised if you found yourself trembling with excitement along the way because the gate of Jordan’s most magnificent city is only a few steps away.

Its connection to Petra isn’t the only thing that makes Al-Siq so impressive. If you feel it looks familiar, it’s probably because it resembles other world-famous slot canyons, such as Arizona’s Antelope Canyon. But what makes it different than most of them is the fact it wasn’t shaped by water, but by natural tectonic forces.

Burj Khalifa, Dubai

Travel to Dubai, UAE to visit Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world that’s been standing there since 2009. It’s also the building with the most stories in the world—160. Naturally, it offers incredible views but also amazing restaurants, spas, and much more.

Petra, Jordan

Head to Jordan to see the famous archaeological site Petra, located in the southwestern desert of the country. It testifies about the existence of the Nabataean Arabs who lived there more than 2000 years ago and it’s a real treat for every fan of history.

Giza Necropolis, Egypt

The most famous landmark in Egypt is the Giza pyramid complex. The pyramids and the Great Sphinx attract millions of tourists and represent some of the most impressive architecture that goes back many centuries.

]]> Jordan is a country with tremendous meaning from almost every aspect – from a historical and cultural center to an adored tourist destination. There are so many things to do and see that it’s really hard to make a list of the top three things, but we still did. Here are the things you must see when you visit Jordan. 

Petra 

We would have to invent words in order to try to describe the beauty of this place. The rose city holds mysteries between the rosy stones and the Al-Khazneh treasury will blow your mind.

'#Petra is the reason most people put #Jordan on their travel wish list, and it turns out there’s much more to see in this awe-inspiring, ancient city than just The Treasury. Ranked as one of the new wonders of the world, the sprawling site is a hub of activity where camels and donkeys wander past handicraft stalls, steep staircases lead to centuries-old complexes, and hiking trails reward those who make the trek with spectacular views. To enjoy one of the best vantage points of The Treasury, take the Khubtha Trail all the way to the top then sip on a mint lemonade as you soak in the view.' – @globeguide — Tap our link in bio to discover the rest of our top 10 countries for 2019, as well as info on visiting Petra responsibly.

The Dead Sea 

The saltiest lake with the lowest point of dry land is a must for every traveler. It’s almost impossible to drown because the salty waters will lift you up as if you were a feather. The Dead Sea is also known for its mud which is rich with minerals and is famous for its benefits, being sold all around the world. 

Ma’in Hot Springs 

Located between Madaba and the Dead Sea, this is the perfect place for you to relax and enjoy. The hot mineral waters are perfect for cleaning your mind of all the troubles. You can check in the spa resort to spoil yourself.
