Mysterious and unusual rocky city. It was here that Moses extracted water from the cliff, and the local rivulet is still called Wadi Musa, which means “the river of Moses”. We are talking about the ancient city of Petra in Jordan, which is included in the list of new wonders of the world.
Undoubtedly, Petra is the main attraction of Jordan and is a must to visit. At the moment, over 800 sights have been discovered on the territory of the ancient settlement - and this despite the fact that scientists claim that the ancient city was examined by fifteen percent.
And now the TOP 5 things to do in Jordan:
1. Relax at the Dead Sea. Swimming in the Dead Sea makes it possible to experience the most unusual sensations that nature can offer. 2. Visit Mars in the middle of the endless wasteland of the Wadi Rum National Park. At sunset, the sand is filled with crimson light, and the desert turns into a Martian landscape - it was here that they shot the Martian and the series Dune. 3. Visit Umm Qais Hill in Gadar. 4. Explore the underwater world of the Red Sea - one of the most beautiful and wealthiest in the world. 5. Walk along the columns of Jarash. Jarash is one of the best preserved provincial Roman cities in the world. ⠀
