The Red Sea

For underwater enthusiasts, the Red Sea is a snorkeller’s paradise and a key destination for any family holiday in Jordan. Its crystal-clear waters are perfect for exploring the vibrant marine life and coral reefs.

With over 2,100 species of fish and unique marine creatures like spinner dolphins, dugongs, turtles, mantas and sharks, the Red Sea offers an unforgettable aquatic experience.

The Dead Sea

The Dead Sea is the lowest point on Earth at 400m below sea level. It is renowned for its rich salt and mineral content which makes it almost impossible to sink and allows swimmers to effortlessly float on its buoyant surface. Whether you're gliding effortlessly on your back and enjoying the picturesque views of the surrounding desert or indulging in the fun of covering yourself in the famous Dead Sea mud, this extraordinary swimming experience is a must try when embarking on a family holiday in Jordan.

Petra

Petra, the ancient city carved into red sandstone cliffs by the Nabataean people around 600 BC, is a must visit historical wonder on your family holiday in Jordan. Its sprawling ruins can take a full day to explore, revealing incredibly well preserved facades, eroded structures and ingenious irrigation systems that once supported life for thousands of inhabitants in the desert. An optional visit to 'Petra Kitchen' offers a chance to learn and savour typical Jordanian cuisine.

Jerash

On your family holiday in Jordan, be sure to visit Jerash where you'll step back in time to the Roman era as you wander through one of the best preserved walled Roman cities in the world. This ancient city thrived until the devastating Galilee earthquake in 748 AD. Stroll along colonnaded streets, marvel at the remains of beautiful mosaic flooring and visit sprawling amphitheatres still complete with numbered seats. Jerash's well-preserved streets and buildings provide a vivid glimpse into life in this ancient city thousands of years ago.
