A walk into the wild side at the Wadi Al- Mujib Natural Reserve

This reserve lies adjacent to the Dead Sea, and is one of Jordan's most exciting natural sites. It contains a narrow canyon, reminiscent of Petra's Siq through which a river flows. Across thousands of years, the water has formed several large caves and waterfalls inside the canyon. The trip requires the participants to swim, walk and climb through occasional rushing water! Anyone who's in search of adventure is strongly advised to do it.

Camel Riding in Wadi Rum and Petra

Several routes are available for rides of different lengths at Wadi Rum and Petra. Details are available upon request.

Diving in the Red Sea

Red Sea Diving is the most catered for sport in the Red Sea Resort City of Aqaba. The coral reefs there offer some of the best-kept tropical underwater Eco systems in the world. Beginner and advanced courses with experienced diving instructors and equipment rental facilities are available. Non-divers can experience first class snorkelling at several sites. The water in Aqaba is warm during the summer and spring seasons. Please take into account that you are not allowed to fly for 24 hours after your dive, for safety reasons.

 Attractions MUST see in Amman

With 7,000 years of recorded history, Amman is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. It was originally built on 7 hills, which today help define the city's various neighborhoods. At every corner you'll find something to explore. Here are 5 activities to get you started.

There are other places to see but those are a MUST.

Lets Get Started :

1. Jabal Amman & Rainbow Street : 

One of the most popular neighborhoods is the historic Jabal Amman area near the center of downtown. It's filled with art galleries, cafes and other interesting hangouts. Wandering through this area, you can glimpse historic homes,visit an outdoor market hosted by the Jabal Amman Residents Association (JARA) or grab a snack at local eateries like the Abu Ghosh bakery (where bread is made daily in a red brick oven) or Hashem (a falafel cafe which Lonely Planet points out "has a picture of King Hussein dining here on its wall, if you need any further recommendation").

Jabal Amman's cobblestone-covered Rainbow Street in particular is a must-visit. Less than a mile long, it sits atop one of the city's seven hills and offers spectacular views of the Old City. Cafes, art galleries, trendy eateries and shisha bars line the street, along with the former homes of Jordan's old aristocratic families. It has become in recent years, "one of Amman's busiest spots on a Thursday night."

2. Abdoun :

The adjacent neighbourhoods of Abdoun is a center for nightlife in Amman. Although its star as the most hip part of the city dimmed a bit after the 90's, the area is enjoying a comeback as a popular spot among Amman's youth. Travelers and locals alike visit the neighborhood for its nightclubs, hip restaurants and cafes.

3. The Roman Amphitheater :

The ancient Roman Amphitheater was built under Emperor Antoninus Pius (138-161 AD), when the city was known as Philadelphia. Cut into the steep hillside, the theater provided seating for 6,000 spectators. It was built facing north, to keep the sun off the seated crowds. Unlike the Roman ruins say in Rome, visitors are able to climb the structure. In fact the site is still in use for cultural and sporting events.

Thank you.
